"My class made me feel welcome straight away and asked me about New
Zealand. By the first three days of school I had already made good friends and
had plans for the weekend. To anyone who is considering going on an exchange;
DO IT! It has changed my life forever."
- Olivia from Auckland went to Sweden.
New High School Experience
Many things at your new school will be different than what you are accustomed to.
You might encounter different school rules, subjects, dress codes or teaching
methods. You will be surprised how quickly you get used to your new school
enviroment.
High School life and activities
Some subjects will be compulsory, but in most countries you will have the
opportunity to choose some subjects yourself. Getting involved in after school
activities is a great way to meet friends. Why not try a new sport or join the school
band? In some countries, extracurricular activities are community based.
Social Hub
Your new high school overseas will be the social hub of your exchange. This is
where you will make new friends, not only with the local students, but maybe with
other international students from around the world.
You will share stories and experiences, learn together and forge lifelong bonds that
will mean you come back from your exchange with a social circle of close friends
situated all over the globe.
