Are there cheap and good quality exchange programs?

Question

I am really interested in going to the UK, New Zealand or Australia for a summer or a semester my junior year of high school. Are there any programs that are affordable, but also really good quality? I want to make sure I feel secure if I'm going to another country. Any information on programs would be apprecitated!

Answer 1

Unfortunately, none of them are cheap. The least expensive is Rotary Youth Exchange, but it's the most competitive. The rest will run between $7,000 - $10,000 per year plus a monthly expense.

Quality programs include AFS, Aspect, YFU, the above mentioned Rotary, and many times ASSE (depending upon your location).

Answer 2

yes and no..

go and see a career counselor

Answer 3

I dont know but I would also like this information :P

Answer 4

I guess it depends on your definition of "cheap," but I've heard many good things about AFS. I'm still trying to figure out how their pricing works though.
