Good Reasons to go on Exchange
Leaving means going beyond the simple mastery of a new language. Immersing yourself into another culture, trying to understand and appreciate its differences is a once in a lifetime experience. Acquire new faculties of adaption, open-mindedness and knowledge that you otherwise could not.
Learn a new Language
Becoming fluent in a foreign language can take months or even years for many of us. Total immersion in another country is the best way to learn a new language.
Discover a new Culture
The best way to discover a new culture is undoubtedly the immersion program with a host family. A way not only to learn about a new culture but above all to create eternal bonds. Being an immersion student also means becoming a
full member of a family.
Grow as a Person
It is a real plus for your career, both personal with the acquisition of an open mind, and professional on your CV for your
future.
Get out of your comfort zone
Taking a plane to an unknown destination, without knowing what awaits you, to meet new people means completely leaving your comfort zone. A year of immersion forces independence. You will come back grown and changed.
Make friends worldwide
During your year in immersion you will meet new people. Some will become friends for life, others will cross paths
simply your way. Hundreds of other exchange students will also be added to this network, you will have one thing in common: having had a unique experience. They are the ones who will best understand the experience you are having and what’s more, they can also come from the four corners of the globe!
