Being a college exchange student information?
Place I can get good information on what it's like/how to apply to be an exchange student? I'm a US citizen, but I want to be an exchange student and go to college in Sweden. Would my degree be valid in the US if I did so? If I went to college in Sweden, could I do my medical school stuff here in the US?

You'll need to check with the U.S. institution that you're enrolled at. Most exchange programs operate like this: you enroll at a U.S. college, then you apply to study abroad. If you're accepted, you'll spend a period of time (usually a semester or a year) at an institution that has an agreement with the U.S. school that they will accept each other's class credits. This will let you spend time studying overseas while still working toward the degree from your school in the States. There are several different organizations that link up schools in the U.S. and other countries, and where you will be able to apply to study abroad will depend on which of these organizations (if any) your college is a member of. One of these organizations is the National Student Exchange (the one that I'm most familiar with). The school I did my undergraduate coursework at was a member of NSE, and I looked into studying abroad for a semester, though I finally decided not to. If you're already enrolled at a college, check and see if they are a member of such an organization. You can also check out NSE's website, www.nse.org, to find out which schools in which countries are members.
