How can I raise money for my high school exchange program?
I have been dying to travel and do a high school exchange program in Europe- the oppertunity has come for me to spend my junior year of high school learning and living in Italy. But the program costs $36,000. Thats about $25,000 more than my family can affard. Unfortunatly, my family never qualifies for financial aid, so I cannot even hope of getting money from need-based scholarships with the program. How can I raise the money?How can I raise money for my high school exchange program?are you living in europe? if yes that is no problem. you can opt for what i am doing at the moment. it is EVS.

How do I get the use of an exchange server without buying one?
My boss needs the use of an exchange server so he can wirelessly sync his phone/contacts/calendar to my computer. He thinks there's an exchange server through Outlook somehow. I think he's stupid. But there has to be a way to get the use of an exchange server without spending a ton of money. Any suggestions? He's driving me crazy.How do I get the use of an exchange server without buying one?Microsoft Small Business Server gives you Exchange functionality for about $600. That's pretty cheap.
How much Japanese do you need to (or should) know before taking part in a student exchange program to Japan?
I'm interested in going to japan, probably with Student Exchange Australia, does anyone have experience with them? I'm thinking of doing the 1 year program.How much Japanese do you need to (or should) know before taking part in a student exchange program to Japan?While I am not familiar with Student Exchange Australia, I have lived in Japan for 12 years and seen a lot of exchange students coming and going. I think the answer depends on your goals - do you want to become a fluent speaker, or just have an interesting cultural experience?
If you want to become fluent, I would recommend trying to be placed in the countryside, at arms length from the big cities. There will be fewer English speakers there, and fewer distractions. Conversely, it's possible to live in Tokyo for many years, and not pick up much Japanese at all. You can gain great fluency in one year if you surround yourself with good Japanese friends.
As to how much you need to know before going? You could get by with just learning the basic polite greetings, as most of what you learn beyond that may just make you nervous and clam up when you finally get to Japan.
If you really wanted to give yourself a head start, just concentrate for a couple of weeks on learning the two basic 'alphabets' of katakana and hiragana. They are easy to learn, and will give you the best foundation to work on. Most people I've seen who don't master those two written systems (and doggedly stick with 'romaji' - transliterating the words into the English alphabet) do not get past the basics. Just get yourself some big notepads and write, write, write them over and over until you can memorize them. It may be daunting at first, but you will appreciate the work when you get there.
Japan is a wonderful country, with highs and lows just like any other culture. The only other thing to take is an open mind, and you will have a fantastic time!How much Japanese do you need to (or should) know before taking part in a student exchange program to Japan?I'm not sure HOW MUCH Japanese you should know, but you should try to learn as much as you can.
Japan has a culture built around respect, and as with any country, learning their language is the best way to earn their favor.
It's not too hard to learn Japanese. I talked to this man at my barber shop about wanting to learn and he hooked me up with this learn Japanese tutorial book.
Good luck and happy trails.

How should I get ready for my forgien exchange student?
A foreign exchange student is coming to live in our household and we wanted some ideas for how to get ready for her?How should I get ready for my forgien exchange student?It's great that you are hosting a student! My husband and I have hosted 5 so far (each for an academic year).
You don't note whether you are a host parent or host sibling. Most (if not all) of what I will write could be useful for either one.
I HIGHLY recommend communicating with her before she gets here. Email and chat programs are great for this. It helps break the ice. You can't get a full picture of what each other are like through written communications, but you'll get a good introduction.
I assume that the physical requirements are taken care of - she has a room (or at least a bed) with a set or two of %26quot;linens%26quot;, a closet has been cleared out (or at least some space in a shared closet), a small supply of thumb tacks or other hanging apparatus for pictures has been supplied, etc.
You should learn a little about her country - at least enough to find it on a map. (If she's from a large country, find her city.) Google Earth is really cool for looking up places far away. It would be nice if you could say hello or such in her language. I always make a sign that says %26quot;Welcome to your new American home%26quot; in both English and the native language of our kids.
Some host families have asked what the favorite color of their students is and painted the student's room that color.
If the student has not been enrolled in your school, you should get a class catalog so that you can help her choose her classes.
You should absolutely send pictures of you, your family members, and your home to her. She's going to be nervous about her exchange!
These are just a few suggestions. If she isn't in the USA already, be ready for some strong jet lag the first few days.
Good luck to you! Feel free to email me.How should I get ready for my forgien exchange student?It depends on what country they are coming from. Try to learn some words from their language. If you could also learn some holidays that she is celebrating soon and what they do for those holidays, she will fell welcomed! Hope this helped.How should I get ready for my forgien exchange student?Try and prevent home-sickness by doing some research on her home country and maybe cooking her native food sometimes

How do I apply to host a foreign exchange student?
I live in the USA. I'm 17, and as much as I'd like to be a foreign exchange student, I know I wouldn't be able to because of scheduling, school sports, etc. But I'm interested in my family hosting a student from abroad. What is the best way to go about doing this?How do I apply to host a foreign exchange student?i would suggest:
http://afs.org/afs_or/focus_on/hosting
i have no real sources or personal experiences to back up AFS, but i'm currently applying to be an exchange student myself, and AFS seems promising to me :)How do I apply to host a foreign exchange student?I keep losing what I post here .. I meant to recommend to you that a good book, that could possibly help you with adding some insight into %26quot;men and things%26quot; ... have you heard of the series of several books, that begin with %26quot;Clan of the Cave Bear%26quot;. I recommend it highly.
I'm afraid Yahoo keeps acting up on me, so this is maybe unrelated to this question, as I tried to relocate the question about teh books you sought some rec's for ... I recommended Michener, regards history, and the life of Judy Garland is also interesting, having read %26quot;Over the Rainbow%26quot; ... that's a biography of her. But highly recommended which I think would be quite enjoyable for an independent and high spirited girl as you seem, should be great reading. Don't compare with movie -- the movie was %26quot;nada%26quot;.myspace pages bird

How hard is it to be a foreign exchange student?
So, there's this girl in my art class from Germany, and I've always thought it would really really cool if I could be a foreign exchange student in another country for maybe half a year to a year. It would have to be an English speaking country, because I don't speak anything else fluently. It's just an idea - I haven't talked to my parents or anything about it yet. So I'm guessing it would be a lot of money, but like, approximately how much? And would anyone recommend doing this or not doing this? Help? Oh, and I'm a sophomore in high school.How hard is it to be a foreign exchange student?Hey.
Im from New Zealand and just got back from doing a studnet exchange in Brazil...
Being a student exchange isnt the easiest thing in the world, but it is sooooo rewarding. It was by far the best thing i ever did by going on this exchange. I have learnt so much and had such a great time there that i cant wait to be able to go back there someday.
Im sure if you decide to do an exchange you will love it - here is some advice for you: if you are unsure about 1 year or 6 months - choose 6 months... every student i have met that chose 6 months always wanted to stay the whole year and a year goes REALLLY fast... (you can always go home earlier if you dont like it when you are on a 1 year exchange but if you choose 6 months you cant extend it!
Go to http://www.afs.org to find out all the details about an AFS exchange (the largest exchange program in the world and the one i did)
the cost depends on where you are going.... my trip from NZ to Brazil was $10,000NZD but you can apply for grants and loans and do fundraising.... it seems like so much but it really isnt - it is so worth it!
good luck with it.... DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!! it will be the best decision of your life - it was the best thing i have ever done...
if you want any more info contact me by emailing explicit101@hotmail.com if you want....
OOOOOHHHH by the way - i 100% recommend going to a country that DOESNT speak english - when i went to Brazil i didnt speak a word of portuguese and now i speak it fluently... it is so much more rewarding going somewhere that is completly different to your own country - i recommend Brazil -you would LOVE it.....
Or if you really want to go to an english speaking country come to New Zealand :P and send me an email.... i might even be able to give you a tour of my country :)
good luck with your decision.....
JaideHow hard is it to be a foreign exchange student?hey! i have done 2 french exchanges in school and am going on another one in 2 weeks. they are extrtemely fun and everyone has an amazing time :)
