Which European country is the best for a high school student exchange?
Which European country is the best for a high school student exchange?
I'm planning on doing an exchange to Sweden next year from August to January but I'm wondering if that is the best country to exchange to or is there others that should be considered first? I really like how Sweden looks and sounds but there are so many other countries in Europe that are good too...

Vienna (Austria) has been voted the best city in the world with the highest quality of living. That sounds like a good start. Here are a few articles that might be interesting for you: http://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2009/04/living_it_up_in_vienna.cfm http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/apr/28/work-live-abroad-tax http://www.mercer.com/referencecontent.htm?idContent=1173105#Top_50_cities:_Quality_of_living

It depends on which languages you can speak. There is no use going to Sweden if you've never learned Swedish and don't have time to do so. The UK is great if you aren't very good at languages. (same - well nearly the same - languages) If you can speak German, or have time to learn it, I would certainly recommend Germany. I went on an exchange with school and it was pretty cool. The German school is very interesting, and there is so much to do. I could really emerse myself in the language and culture there. German people tend to be willing to take on exchange students since they see it as an oppurtunity to improve their English (everyone in Germany has to learn English). This is great if you get stuck or fed up of German, you can still communicate! If you want nice weather, maybe Spain or Italy. France is also good.

I'm actually in an exchange program that runs through my school. I'm going to switzerland for 4 months in February. The one that goes through my school cost about $2500 + spending money. The best way to get involved is ask a guidance councilor (if you're still in high school), but if not, do a little more research. I find it really hard to believe that they are charging more than $5000 for this. Good luck :)
2 :
Where are you from and where do you want to go, do you want to go for the entire academic your or only a couple of weeks/months?
3 :

Tuition for international students used to be free. Not so from the fall semester 2011. Fees will vary from university to university and will also vary regarding what type of education is tought. A scolarship system is introduced though. Mainly focusing on students from developing countries AND on students with "special qualifications". Might be worth applying for. Not sure if all scolarships will be filled - worth a shot... Good luck.

If you choose an undergraduate programme in English you don't have to worry about knowing Swedish. There is a possibility to apply for a Swedish course ( there is one at every university for foreign students) to learn basic Swedish. Most Swedes do speak English very well so you won't find it difficult to get by with your English. You need your high school degree, a good grade in English and/or a diploma/certificate in English i.e. Cambridge/IELTS. To study engineering you will need to have studied certain specific classes in high school. Those requirements may very from university to university. University studies in Sweden are free. There aren't any financial resources available in Sweden for foreign students. I think it is better for you to look for that in your own country. In fact, it is a requirement that you have your own financial support secured in order to get a resident's permit. Most Swedish students have a job while studying to be able to get by, so you might want to consider that. You need to apply before April 15th if you intend to study this autumn. Here are some links to universities in Sweden. There is information in English: www.gu.se Gothenburg www.su.se/ Stockholm ' www.uu.se/ Uppsala www.lu.se Lund www.liu.se Linköping www.oru.se Örebro www.kau.se Karlstad www.umu.se Umeå www.vxu.se Växjö

If you'll be in Sweden for the rest of high school (and plan to stay in Sweden afterwards), it would be a good idea to learn Swedish and adapt to the Swedish school system (which is quite different). The kommune that you will be living in can help you do this. There is an international school in Stockholm that covers through grade 12, but the fees are very high. http://www.intsch.se/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=59 There are a few programs in English at Swedish gymnasiums as well, but this isn't the same as high school in the US, it's further education. http://www.kungsholmensgymnasium.stockholm.se/en_index.htm http://www.vrg.se/templates/pages/SectionStartPage____63.aspx You should also contact the closest Swedish consulate in the US to help you. http://www.swedenabroad.com/Consulates____7492.aspx Edit: As far as I know, the only schools similar to a US high school are the two international schools in Stockholm and Näcka (a nearby suburb). They have expensive tuition and fees. The other option is a Swedish gymnasium that teaches some classes in English. Either way, you would need to work with your high school in the US and your new school in Sweden to make sure you take the right courses for graduation in the US. It would probably be easier on you (if the Sweden move is only a year) to find someone local to stay with while you finish school.
