Foreign exchange student information please?
Foreign exchange student information please?
I want to be a foreign exchange student to sweden for a year for either when I graduate high school or a semester in high school or something... I don't want to stay with a host family though, I want to stay with my aunt and uncle in their house. Is that possible for me to do? And does anyone have any more information on it?

Many exchange organizations will let you do what's called a Direct Placement. IF your relatives qualify (with the organization and with the rules set up by the government (some won't allow exchange students to stay with close relatives)) as a host family and IF their school will accept you, then you should be able to be placed with them. I would recommend your aunt and uncle looking into if they would be allowed to host you before you continue. Good luck to you!

yes it is, I know a few exchange students who have done it. You must obtain a student visa. To do this you must be enrolled in either high school, college, or a language course. Contact the Swedish embassy for more information. As long as you can prove that you can support yourself and are in Sweden to learn, you should have no problems.
