    I'm 14 going to turn fifteen for my freshman year of high school and i haven't been able to find one high school foreign exchange student program for a full year from the U.S. to England and it's really stressful

    • @SimplyVal
      @SimplyVal  5 лет назад +10

      Due to England's immigration laws, US students are only able to stay a maximum of 6 months (sad, I know!). It's uncommon that you'll find a program through your high school. I had to research a program and apply myself and force my school to cooperate with me being on an exchange, but most schools are pretty finicky about the whole thing. I know my program only allowed students between 16-20 to partake, but you might be able to find something for younger students. Best of luck!

    Do many people go to countries when they’re already 100% fluent? I’m British and I’d love to do a high school exchange programme in the US but from what I researched most people do high school exchange programmes to learn the language

    • @SimplyVal
      @SimplyVal  4 года назад +2

      A lot of people do study abroad to learn a language, but many people I met (myself included) also chose to go to simply experience a new culture and life in a different country! Even though the US and UK are similar in many ways, there's a lot of differences that you wouldn't expect. If you're curious about moving to the US one day (or whatever country you're interested in) then studying abroad is also a really great way to meet people and see what day-to-day life is like :) Short story: I highly recommend trying a hs exchange.

    I’m so confused of where you went from to where? First you went on a plane from (I assume America) and then you boarded a plane to Amsterdam and then England? Why not just take a plane from America to England?

    • @elliebrownell
      @elliebrownell 4 года назад +3

      Most flights have layovers because there are just so many different places people need to be. This way if you want to go to Amsterdam you get off the first layover but if you'd like to go to England you keep going. Kind of like bus stops:)

      Its doesnt work like that. Just because the dollar is worth less doesnt mean youll get the same amount of pounds. I.e. you cant just change 4 dollars to 4 pounds

    • @iamshooketh9345
      @iamshooketh9345 4 года назад

      Im pretty sure the dollar is valued higher? So when you exchange it to British Pounds, its worth less. So like 50 dollars would be like 30 british pounds for example.
