My daughter dated this past year an international student from Germany. He had some language issues initially but overall an incredibly nice young man. I think he believes American kids are very spoiled, which should be no surprise.

Very cool. Foreign exchange is such an eye opening experience for both the students and the hosting families. Both sides end up with a fresh perspective on the world, with a new sympathy for other people.

Hey,
we are a family(parents with 3 kids from 14 - 22, leaving near Celle (near Hannover) and we are interested to host a boy or a girl from the USA. Write us more about you, because we only want to host somebody who is able to go to a german gymnasium, like our kids. The eldest daugther has her own flat near Celle.
Best regards
Karin Hoy

We also know three families who have hosted kids from overseas. They all expressed that it was a great experience. Two of those families still keep in contact with those kids.

With our current economic situation I was wondering if international exchange is going to face some difficult times. Let's hope not. I think it gives kids overseas a better understanding that our families are very similar to theirs. We are all just trying to raise our kids and make our way in this world.

We've known several families who have hosted. Nearly all experienced great times with it. It's something my wife and I will consider in a few years.

The international student exchange program has been terrific. We met an exchange student last year and several friends who hosted. A great thing to do.
