Personal comments
treat the exchange students equally with respect to non-exchange students. this year was by far the easiest year i have ever had.i would have liked it to be a little more intense.

i found that the majority of exchange students cling together and never really try to learn the foreign language and that makes it really hard at first. later i made a stronger effort to get to know more locals, and that´s when i really begin to learn spanish.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: with the same family
Why?
i had a great experience with my second host family.i felt apart of their family and it made the adjustment of living in another country easier.the first family with whom i lived i just didn´t get along that well with them.

Personal comments
the price for accommodation is too expensive for the normal family with whom a student will be placed.the cheapest way for a student would be to live with other students, but in many cases, one will often find foreign exchange students living with other foreign exchange students, and therefore losing the opportunity to learn the other language.
