High school exchange? Italy? France? Good stories? Bad stories? worth it


High school exchange? Italy? France? Good stories? Bad stories? worth it?
i live in canada and have good grades, i also know the company were going to do the exchange through (its a non profit organization called CEEF-ceef.ca) my guidance counselor said its a great idea, i can choose between italy, france, spain, mexico, belgium, the netherlands and germany. although you choose 4 countries on the entry for my choices go like this 1. italy 2. france 3. spain 4. belgium i speak french but you can go knowing very little of whatever language you speak in the country you choose. im just worried about 1 thing, first the person from the other country comes here and lives with me and my family for threemonths from mid-august to mid-november and then i go from mid-february to mid-may and i dont mind being away from my parents cause im used to that but im worried about having to be with this person in my home 24/7, no alone time with my best friends etc. can anyone tell me of their experience? advice? anything? Thanks a million!

hi, i'm from the UK and i've been on a student exchange, though here it isn't as long as that, it's only for a week and i went to germany. it was amazing yet really scary, and you can still do loads of stuff with your mates, just do something that you'd all enjoy. you wouldn't have to be with them all the time, i mean three months is a long time, maybe they'll make some friends of their own, or maybe you and your mates might become really good friends with this other person. remeber that this might be this persons first time abroad, or away from home, so be sensitive.
