How do I get my friend from Sweden into America? I am trying to get him as my foreign exchange student.?
My friend says that he is 16 but he is going to college this coming year. Any advice on how to get him to America through a foreign exchange program? Thanks :)

He needs to complete college, get work experience and apply as an immigrant if he is still interested. In a lot of countries, the last two years of high school are spent in a junior college. Foreign exchange programs don't allow continued residence.

Positive / Negatives of Student Life in Sweden?
Positive / Negatives of Student Life in Sweden?
Thinking of moving to Sweden, gaining citizenship and going to school there. Seems like an awesome place to live.

Positives are that the culture is very liberal. Its also very socialized and they pay one of the highest income tax rates in the world. The disparity between rich and poor is so much smaller. People are well educated, well informed and have a broad outlook. Negatives -- its cold. And there is not as much ethnic diversity as you find in the USA or UK. Kinda homogenous after a while.

I can either be a foreign exchange student in Germany or Sweden? Which one should I choose!?

Being a foreign exchange student in either Germany or France cost the less, so I am going to one of those two. Which one should I choose? Which country is better? I mean, in terms of cleanliness, friendliness, economic strength, military strength, etc. Sorry! I meant France! In my question, where I said Sweden, I meant France! My bad!

I would vote for Germany since I live there. I also love France too but Germany is very clean and central; it is surrounded by many countries (including France) which is convenient. Which language can you capture better, German or French? You have to speak the language to enjoy yourself and to meet friends so start leaning now.

Cleanliness? WTF kind of question is that, Kyle? :-D Both would be great. The Germans have the best beer, the French have the best food. Military strength is won hands down by the French. They've got The Bomb, though both countries are NATO members so the will hardly be any invasion during your stay. As for economy, they look fairly equal an gapminder.org. The local variations within the country is much greater than the differences between countries. What is basically comes down to is which language will you be most likely to pick up most easily, and which school or university do you want to go to.

Hey, it very much depends on your language skills. The french are known to be lazy to talk in other languages, Germans on the other hand love to use foreign language skills (they probably try to speak better then you do...). As for a clean stay, well it depends on the town. Like Paris is gorgeous in the center it gets f***ed up in the suburbs (but really bad!). Berlin on the other hand is quite a crazy town but you'll sure miss a "real nice'n'fancy" part (though you can find that in Munich or Hamburg). And then there's the going out part: and to be honest, even of the Germans feel a bit distanced in the beginning, you will surely enjoy your nights more there then in France! Have a good time, where ever you go!

I know that when I went to school in Sweden in 78-79, foreign students could only work during the summer months. Contact the Swedish Embassy in Karachi to find out the details.
