Find a reliable program (AFS, YFU, Rotary are the only ones you should really consider) and then find the $8,000 + it will cost to go.

It is very very expensive to do that, but if you have the money and know the language I'd say you're good to go. Make sure you really really want to go though, so you won't change your mind after a few weeks and lose tons of money. Also, establish a good relation with your host family so you feel safe when you get there. If you want to know anything about Sweden, ask away! (I'm a Swedish teen living in Sweden so I hope I know some stuff)

I think its Borås. Clothing and food are cheaper here and the rent is at least cheaper than Gothenburg. Good luck! :)

Cheapest way to ship items to Sweden from UK?
Cheapest way to ship items to Sweden from UK?
Dear all, I'm moving to Stockholm soon to further my study. I'm trying to find the cheapest way of shipping my stuff to Sweden (PC and books). As a student, I can't afford to pay around £150 + other costs . I also can't bring all the stuff on the flight (they'll charge more for overweight baggage!). Please help.

One time I used the cargo facility. You need to show your tickets and they will cargo it. It was lot cheaper then carrying and paying penalty, but you need to ask from them what they charge these days. These are Airline Cargo Facilities and not a private shipping service. Call airlines and find where the local facility is.

Hello, try this: http://www.daad.de/en/index.html for exchange programs. With a bit luck they will pay some costs to you...

I participated in a fabulous program, called HomeStay Spain in SPAIN. After speaking with other kids in the group who had participated in other exchange programs abroad we decided this was the best! If you are interested in a lifestyle immersion experience and willing to learn about Spanish Culture and Lifestyle, this is the most amazing program available. The beautiful and safe town of Santander is known for its cultural refinement, and an atmosphere typical of old Spain. It is so much fun!!! And we learned so much!!!! It was so enriching. I LOVED IT!!! Since you mentioned that you know some Spanish I thought you would be interested to know that this program accepts 12 and 13 years of age students. Both my sister and I participated different summers and we had a blast! We made so many good friends we still keep in touch with! The program is really well planned out and people are lovely! Many host families have teens. They even allow you to come with a friend to stay in same host family home or in a different home. And if you sign up early they allow you to choose from the available host families for a perfect fit. Check their website www.beautifulspain.com Before deciding among different programs I had a chance to speak with some contacts that had participated in this program and my parents did as well. Everyone spoke wonders about this program, the host families and the local director Nuria, who is such a nice lady,... This program is considered the most complete exposure to a foreign country because as they say it is true that it combines CLASSES (art, debate, street talk, folklore, DANCING classes, among others) with FUN and EXCITING ACTIVITIES such as Latin Dance Classes, Bullfight, Boat Excursion, etc…, FULL DAY OUTINGS to places of historical and cultural interest such as prehistoric Altamira Caves, Guggenheim Museum, Roman Ruins, "Capricho de Gaudi", Roman Route Hiking adventure, etc... are also ALL INCLUDED IN THE PRICE while living with a local, loving and carefully selected HOST FAMILY. I know this program allows you to choose from several host families (the type of things this program does, no other program would ever) in order for everyone to be happy.
