What do you know about...?

Question

The center for Cultural Interchange. It's a study abroad program. Does anyone know anything about it or have any experience with it? Is it reliable, safe, etc... please dont just give me the website or its description. Thanks :)

Answer 1

I honestly wouldn't recommend that program.

Try AFS, Aspect, ASSE or YFU. Here's their websites.

I would really recommend going through AFS. I know tons of people who have went through them. And I am going through them also. :)

If you have any other questions about exchange programs, you can ask me because I'm pretty invovled with them, and can give you tons of references.

Answer 2

Ok, I cannot say anything about the program you mentioned But I can tell you about this one program everyone is raving about: www.beautifulspain.com Since you wanted reliability this is the one for you.

Their host families are extremely well screened. They are loving and caring and most have experience in hosting students from abroad. You can choose to sign up with a friend and choose to stay in same host family home or a  different one. They allow you to choose from the host families available (the sooner the better).

Location is pretty amazingly beautiful and one of safest places in Europe. It´s a beach resort town still a secret for many foreigners.

Activities and excursions included in the low cost are exciting, fun and enriching and go from purest form of Spanish language classes, cooking classes, dancing classes, tallship vessel excursion, paella dinner, medieval towns, fishing village, fireworks on the beach, Guggenheim Museum, Bullfight, canoeing trip down the river, beach, shopping, City tour, beach volley, Roman route hiking trip and many more, They cater to a small group for best individual attention. You wont regret. You will get a Diploma towards your college application and future career resume.... Well, it is hard to beat!

Enjoy, learn and have lots of fun!!!
