    Thank you so much! I was just signing the papers and the rules worried me a bit. I don't pretend to break any of them but they seemed rlly strict, especially the no dating one.

    • @zoegast103
      @zoegast103 4 года назад +32

      Well it's more complicated. You are allowed to go on dates but they dont want you in a serious relationship. This is because you will spend all ur time with them and it will be hard to come home. They encourage you to have a date to prom and stuff

    • @onlypain.4505
      @onlypain.4505 4 года назад +20

      Yeah, the main thing is that they’re worried you’ll be seeing the country from your significant other’s view, and not get to experience what you want on your own.

    • @nataliad4378

      When you guys say it like that it makes sense but in my district everything is so different. They told us no dating at all, also the country choice will be done by raffle, are your districts like this also? I'm kind of worried about this

    • @onlypain.4505
      @onlypain.4505 4 года назад +5

      Nat Ddcf Nah, my district has you fill out a top 5 list, and they rank you compared to other students based off your interviews and applications, which determines who gets higher on their list, because there are only so many spots open for each country.

    Hey Queen! We actually have seven “D”s now!
    1: No drinking
    2: No driving
    3: No dating
    4: No drugs
    5: No decorating (tattoos or piercing)
    6: No downloading (make sure you understand how WiFi works in your country and don’t get a virus)
    7: No ditching (no leaving the area you are designated to stay in without authorization)

    We tell our students no increase or decrease of life on exchange :) The problem I have with your opinions is that you may lead students to believe that they won't get sent home if they break the rules. We do send students home who break the rules, and have done it several times.
