1 What are some good student exchange pregrams? - EF, YFU, AFS, (theres more good ones I've gone kinda blank atm) 2 How long would i stay in japan? - You choose the length of your program that you want to do, but could be anywhere from a few weeks to a year depending on what you choose/ 3 How do i get a scholarship? - When you apply to the organisation you'll be able to ask them about shcolarships. They will often have a list of different shcolarships you can apply for. Keep in mind very few shcolarships will fully fund your exchange most will pay for about half the cost. 4 Is getting a scholarship better than paying myself? - Of course it can be if you are short on money and need the assistance. Would you rather buy a pair of pants half price or pay for the same pair of pants full price? I personally with my parants decided not to apply for ant shcolarships because we are in a financial position that we could afford it and felt we could be taking someone elses dream away. 5 Is it fun in an exchange program? I personally can't answer this yet, because Im leaving for Japan In march this year but Ill answer from what I've heard from others (My shcool has over a 100 Internation/Exchange Students). It can be very fun on exchange but also very hard and frustrating at times from every exchange student I've known they say it's been the best time of their lives. A guy In my Japanese class went for 6months last year and is going again for another 10 this same time as me. Keep in mind again it can all be dependant on where you are placed and who your host family are, you have to remember you may not be placed in a large city such as Tokyo and may live in a small town. 6 Can you choose your host family? No, I've never once heard of students being able to choose who their host families are, but don't worry the exchange organisation will pair you up with a family who shares similar interests as you. 7 Can I buy clothes when I'm in japan? Yes of course you can, it'd be stupid if you couldn't allthough when you go shopping could depend on where you're living and your host family again (ie if they are in a small town and no mall is nearby) é ‘å¼µã£ã¦ã‚ˆï¼
