Being on the same page with a host family right from the start is a very wise & important thing to do! However, not less important thing is to research everything you want to know about a particular culture before you go there. Guests have an ability to ask all questions they have about the host family before they sign up with them. Third, EVERYONE has to know and understand the saying that one cannot go to a someone's home with their rules. That means we have to be prepared and be flexible in foreign countries! This is however not a reason for the host family to infringe on your personal rights and space. Learn diplomacy to get it your way without offending other people! Cultures and customs strongly influence one's worldview and their common sense. :)

I'm 16 now (junior in high school in U. S) and I'm applying to be a foreign exchange student for a year (2016-2017) in Switzerland. I am applying for Switzerland, but I'm afraid it will not be available. If it's not available next on the list is Germany. I'll be incredibly bummed if I don't get accepted. I feel like during high school is a great time to go! And I'd really hate to miss out on such an experience. I wish I would have had the courage to apply earlier. I had talked about it with my parents before during my freshmen year. But I wasn't really serious about it. But now I just want to go, and do what you did and ditch English, and learn! It seems like such a magical experience!

I cannot understand how someone would choose to stay in a foreign country with a host family. It seems very weird to me how it is to have two people that they are not actually your parents that have similar authorities on you. I find it very awkward.

Living with host family feels like a fast track integration to the new world you're in. Stressful at first but leaves you with meaningful experiences that will change the way see the world-forever. I thank all the host families i ever had.

Did you study abroad every time you did a homestay? Or were half of those times for a vacation, and half for studying abroad?
