Student exchange is the opportunity a student has to get in touch with a new culture. It is an exchange, exchange, commercial, intellectual or sporting relationship between peoples and cultures. Currently, the student can go abroad to attend high school (High School), learn a language, take professional courses and postgraduate courses or work for a period.
The purpose of the exchange is to offer participants, the coexistence with another culture and the development of the language of the country. Generally, students stay in family homes, thus having the opportunity to get to know the culture, habits and routines. Families hosting students are selected by regional coordinators. They are always voluntary, that is, they do not receive remuneration for the accommodation offered. It can be considered eligible to receive a foreign student if it is formed by at least two people, living under the same roof.
Today, an exchange program is highly recommended for those who want to improve a language, grow professionally and personally. As a result, the number of students investing in this alternative is growing. First, it's important to be prepared to have such an experience and to know when the time is right.
The year 2007 has stood out a lot in this area. The low dollar rate has led students to consider the long-awaited trip more. Among the most popular destination options are the United States, England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The countries welcome Brazilian exchange students because foreigners also like to learn.
It is extremely important to know well all the procedures established by the company that will carry out the exchange, as well as your rights and duties as an exchange student. To study, the interested party must spend, on average, half-board course and accommodation, something around US$ 1,000.00 a US$ 1,800.00, including travel expenses, documentation and money to support yourself during the period you will spend abroad.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
