This is SO real, lot of stuff became online after the pandemic so not everything is actualized but it is still the same essence. I'm a new outbound from Argentina (short exchange program) and I really feel you habahshd. Man, I really am so excited for everything, I'm spending so much time watching exchange RUclips videos just cause I can't hold my emotion. I will find out the country that I got in a month so wish me luck 💐💐💐
sooooo? which country?
@@user-bn5ic9zk4o HAHAHSH HI I got France. I truly can't believe it, I'm going to Bordeaux in December and my french learning is going so well. I didn't want to go there but now that I got it I couldn't be happier 😭😭
This is AMAZING THANKYOU
This is awesome Nick! 😊 can't wait to see more through out your exchange!
Can we please talk about the intro?? 😂 "Hi RUclips" *tilts head and eyes bugging
😂😂
Thank you for this video!!! Just finished the beginning of the application process!!
Good luck!!
My interview is coming up and your explication is so helpful for preparing!!
Wow! I’m about to leave for my exchange from Australia and my district interview was so chill compared to that! 😱
I'm your hundredth like bro!! Let me know if this is for only students good in academics
Not especially, I mean you probably should be failing too many classes 😂 Talk to your Rotary club, theyre very understanding.
You’re amazing, I’ll miss you so much!
i was wondering if you’re able to vlog in italy or make a few videos about how it is currently for you because i was thinking of applying next year x
Sure, I'll try and do that!
wait i really want to go to milan italy? i cant ensure that?
Room 6 is the worst room of all of them 😂😂😂 I'm dying over here
gosh im so scared now cuz i feel like im gonna have literal anxiety what is it like?? like is it quiet ? loud??
@@starr2870 are you applying? If so which year?
@@clairedavis3846 well i applied for a program to go to japan but they didn't allow me since i had to be in high school for the last 3 years but one of the years i was homeschooled and its because in japan its sort of illegal to like be homeschooled ? yeah lol
How likely would you say people are to get their top country picks?
Hola Nicholas :) Me encantó tu video, muy informativo. Hace poco me contacté con mí RC más cercano y voy a ir a mí primera reunión, y como en una semana a la primera de aspirantes. Las carpetas con todos los papeles que piden se entregan de 20 a 26 de Octubre. Crees que llegaré con eso? O es muy largo? Importa si no sé hablar muy bien inglés? Yo diría que tengo un A2... Muy basico, pero suficiente para no morir en algún país angloparlante.
Nada más. Muchas gracias :))
Veo que en tu caso lograste hacer todo muy rápido y eso me tranquiliza. Mucha suerte en tu intercambio!
Do they use grade of the year before we go or total highschool years
If you're a sophmore applying, and you'll be going for your junior year, it depends on your school if you can skip junior year and come back into senior year. I graduated a year early (as a junior) so my "senior year" was my exchange, however I already had my diploma and was a graduated student, so it ended up being more like a gap year. :) I hope this helped!
i am 16 and going to germany for my exchange year with rotary in less than 2 weeks!
Which country are you from
So, if you go to a country, to a family, is it necessary that your family has to become a host family too?? (Like if your the exchange student)
It depends on the club, but most of the time no. Your family is not required to become a host family if you go on exchange, it's optional.
Only time your family has to host someone is if you do short term exchange in which you go for 6 months then come back with someone form that country and they stay with you for 6 months
Sophi For my club, short term is only for 1 month
I’ve always wondered if it’s the same process for students wanting to go abroad during high school or college
Just curious, what are the odds that you don't get accepted?
Tbh I've never seen someone get rejected so I'm not sure
Can you do this with freinds
Do you mean can multiple people do an exchange? Like can two of the same people go to one city in another country together? It's very unlikely as the point of the program is to get you out of your comfort zone and make new friends. There may be other programs that do that, but they would probably be more like vacations.
Thanks for clearing that up
Hi! Thanks for the video! How much did everything cost? You may have said it in the video, but I missed it. Thank you!
Hey! So, in the end everything ended up being 5,000 dollars to my actual Rotary Club. We also had to buy our insurance, but the Rotary club reimbursed us!
This is so helpful!
I'm glad to hear!
Hey there, thanks for the video which was really helpful. Although, I wanna ask if it's necessary for my parents to take in an inbound student for me to go on the exchange. Is it mandatory?
It depends on the country and club, you'll have to ask your club ( which you can do before getting into the process, just call and ask them what they do ), most clubs in the USA don't require you to host anyone.
Nicholas Athari thanks man, will do.
So does your family have to exchange in order for you to exchange?
No, most clubs in the USA don't require you to host.
What are the grade requirements for rotary?
Nothing really, you just need to prove you're a good student and not be failing too many classes ( probably not failing anything but if you can explain it it's probably ok )
hey, do rotary provides scholarship nd also i want to know that does this process is too difficult 😢
when do you find out if you got accepted to be a foreign exchange student?
Because I went through Rotary, I got an email with my Country around December when I was accepted after both interviews, don't be afraid to stay in close contact with your Rotary District and ask lots of questions!
How long is the process? Like many months prior do i have to apply?
how long did iit take for them to email you back
What was your first and second choice countries or all your country preferences?
I know I’m kind of late watching this video but did you have any experience speaking italian before you went or did you go to italy without really knowing any, if you didn’t know any italian, did you become fluent while you were there? I really want to go to maybe france or italy but i dont speak the languages but id like to learn. loved the video :)
How much does it cost to go on exchange?
I paid 5,000 USD total to my Rotary here, I don't believe I paid anything else.
Does rotary help with the visa?
Yes, all the Rotarians will help you. My Visa was especially hard because I had to do an in person "interview" ( it was really like the DMV ) in NYC so that wasn't fun. For me, it was less Rotary that helped me and more the travel agency that worked with my district.
Hi can u tell me please if the moroccan student can apply for this program ??
If you have a rotary club near you, you should be able to. You can call your local rotary club and ask them about it!
Nicholas Athari ahh ok thanks for your answer 😊
also when is the deadline ?
I hope u see this comment 🥰🥰 I have some questions so the essay do a write or type it ? Do I need applicants type and written or just typed ?
I typed mine online, every district is a little different, contact your local Rotary District and ask them, everyone in every district is super nice and helpful! Calling them or sending them an email usually works. My whole application was online.
Will the one who is swaping my place will go to my school?
It's possible but not Mandatory, I switched with a kid and he goes to a school near to mine
I know this video is old, but is there a big chance of getting your first choice of country?
Hi I just wanted to ask, if Im fourteen next year when do I need to apply for rotary? Which month would I need to apply? And thanks for explaining everything to a good understanding 😊
I’m applying right now and it is through September- 4-7of December and then in a couple of weeks if make the preliminary applications I will have my first interview
Are you in exchange right now? I want to know the average price.
Yes I am, it was 5000$ to my Rotary club, and we had to pay for the Visa which was 56$. Then you need around 400$ to give to your club in the other country as a Security deposit in case anything goes wrong (ie. Glasses breaking, prescription running out) and if nothing goes wrong you get the money back at the end of the year. I didn't have to buy the plane ticket or anything, this is all I had to pay.
