Foreign Exchange to Germany?

Foreign Exchange to Germany?

  • I'm thinking about going to Germany on a Highschool foreign exchange program. I am American and am wondering what to expect.

  • Answer:

    the youth in germany has much more freedom you can go into discotheks until midnight under 18 you can buy weak alcohol like beer at age 16 the young people are responsible for themselves if u go to a gymnasium then the school will be pretty harder than at your highschool depending how good your high school is you also wont meet superficial friendlyness like in the USA you normally stay with same people in class everyday depending on your grade im sure you will have fun

Maia has given a good recomendation here. Also I have lived in the US for a year and live in Germany feel free to contact me if you have any questions I ll try my best answering them.

There are some great books out there on German culture. Go over to amazon and check them out. I liked "The Xenophobe's Guide to the Germans" by Stefan Zeidenitz. The Culture Shock! series is also generally quite good. Also check out the resolved questions, you are not the first to ask this.

What a great opportunity. Do it. I'm from Texas and just returned again, from Germany. Can't wait to go back. I'm not going to tell you what to expect, that would spoil it. Just be yourself. You'll see what I mean when you stay there for awhile.

I am actually on an exchange year in Germany now. I'm 16 and from Michigan, and have been here for 5 months. There have been high and low points but over-all I say its been really good and recommend doing it, but choose your exchange program wisely because I seriously think that they have a lot to do with how your year will turn out. If you have any questions or would like more details and ways to deal with things like homesickness and culture shock or whatnot feel free to contact me.
