well you'll love Norway, tonns of cool people and stuff to do there. Theres currently 50 or so exchange students at my school grade 10 or 11 but nearly all of them are either really weird or don't fit in, or really cool and get a bad family. +luck to you, try something new.

Theres only two peoplee out of our 50 who I know are having the time of their lives, this one girl whos a complete partier and is with my friend whos also a major partier, and this other guy who all the girls are beating it over.

Best of luck bro

my friend had a foreign exchanged student stay with him for 3 weeks during the summer, and he was the most annoying person ever! Haha, He was a good guy though, but annoying.  My friend was so happy when he left.

I did one to Oxford U when I was in undergrad and it was about the most fun ever.

I'm in law school now and our school does exchanges with the University of BC in Vancouver. I'm trying to get set up so I can do this for my last semester of my last year so I can ski Whistler for a season.

How did it go again:

-Freshman
-Junior
-Sophomore
-Senior


?

Exchange is always a good experience, but are you staying with a host family? If you get the taste for it, go to exchange again if head into college afterwards, my school didn't really care how my studies went abroad and even though I got good grades, they were all just pass/fail in the end. Frees up a lot of time for enjoying the scene.
