• Answer:

  most programs you do not get to choose your family or type of house. people who allow students into their home do it for not much $$$ or no $$$, so it's almost volunteer on their part. check w/ your local rotary club, they sponsor their own exchange program, but you still need to pay for your own expenses that the family does not provide. also, afs but they charge a lot & $1000 is not enough but maybe you can get a scholarship. most exchange programs either depend on the families to take the kids around (or not )as part of their homestay. afs charges extra for the kids to go on a group tour which afs arranges...it can get very expensive. if you want to go badly enough you will definitely find a way to make it happen!!!!good luck!!!! do a web search & email the different groups for their brochures & info
