So next year I will be a sophomore and I have the opportunity to do
a foreign exchange program for my first term (August 1-January1). I would be going to Sweden
I'm just wondering if any of you guys have done anything like this and what it was like. Wondering if I should go for it or not, (kinda leaning towards it).

thanks

Man last year I went on exchange to India. Best 6 weeks of my life.

I made some awesome friends, saw some awesome things, and just had the craziest shit happen to me it was fucking awesome.

Definitely go for it! A bunch of my friends have gone on exchanges to europe, the states, australia, new zealand! And definitely recommend it.

The fact that you're even considering not doing it makes me want to gently slap your face while I shake my head in contempt.

OH HELL YES! Foriegn exchange was the best shit ever. I went to germany for 2 weeks with my german class. there were like 15 kids on the trip and the teacher is the homie. We stayed in a city called kiel for a week and stayed with families and the kids were straight homies. We got incredibly fucked up every day despite having school the whole week because there was a festival going on called kieler woche (kiel week). Supposedly its the Oktoberfest of northern Germany. Then for the second week we traveled around germany to different cities staying in sketchy hotels and ripping bong and getting drunk. The weed was shit, but that was probably a good thing since the teacher came into our room interrupting several smoke sessions and if it smelled like the dank she probably would have known.

Then the German kids came over here (seattle) for 2 weeks and outdrank all of us and fucked a lot of the hot girls at our school and a lot of the guys hated them at the end haha but it was awesome. They were here for halloween it was epic.

DO IT

Looking back on my life this is one thing i definetly would of liked to do. Think about it, when foreign exchange students come here, everyone loves them and thinks they talk rad as fuck. + u have no bad reputation so u can just act however u want. + u get to see a whole nother way of living. Wish i would of done this.
