There will be a presentation tomorrow on this program at my school, but I want to get some background information and get an idea of it. Firstly, tell me about the program. What sets it apart form others? Which countries do you go to and how is it chosen for you? Is it an actual “exchange” where your family gets a foreign student in your place or do you just get sent there? How long is a typical exchange? What are the typical costs involved, and what is an average grand total cost? What about the possible language barrier? And how would you go to school there? How do you get in and what are some points of the application process?

Also, I have traveled with the People To People student ambassador programs. If you are familiar with this organization, what are the similarities and differences that it has to the Rotary programs? Is it truely worth it?

These and any other information would be greatly appreciated!
Also, is there any advice that would prove helpful in making the decision, applying and getting accepted?
