Being an Exchange Student In The USA

My experiences as an exchange student in The U.S.

Emelie, congratulations for taking on such a tough challenge by leaving your home country to live in the USA. Being away from loved ones isn't easy at all. Demand your friends take you to Crater Lake, Red Woods, Yosemite, Kings Canyon/Sequoia NPs, and of course the Grand Canyon!!!!

Your pictures are beautiful and so is the state of Utah! I admire you coming out of your comfort zone to come to such a big country as the United States without your family or people that you know.

Teasing you was definitely in a good way. That's how friends bond over here.

Great video. Your English is capital E excellent! I'm glad you had a great time and I'm sure the experience will help you your whole life. Beautiful country where you were. Lots of the greatest westerns (cowboy movies) were filmed out in those areas!

Great video Emelie. I'm really glad you had such a great time in Utah. I'm in Colorado so I understand loving the natural beauty that you had the chance to live in. It is disappointing that EF failed you though. That is sad to hear. Good luck on your trip back to Utah. It sounds you may have made friends for life on the opposite side of the planet. I have internet friends in Norway that I will visit this summer. If I am lucky I'll get the same. I don't know why the Scandinavians and the Dutch are so hard on themselves concerning their English skills. Everyone I have talked to has had amazing English. What would be a joke would be me trying to speak Danish, Norwegian or Sweden haha.

Good video. Informative for potential exchange students. Glad you got to travel. Had fun etc.

Why did I just saw that now, this is the most beautiful I ever watched. I think about doing an exchange year in America. And it's my biggest dream to go to the USA one time. I'm just crying cause this is so beautiful and all your impressions...😍😭🙌🏽

Your English is so good! You sound like a native American. You seem a little bit nervous, but also brave to overcome that. In America we like that. Welcome!

Im from Poland and im currently exchange student in NY state. What you said in this video is so true. Wherever you gonna be its gonna be hard, but u will never experience anything like that, its so unique year and we can't give up. Good luck for the rest of your exchange and if u ever will think to visit Poland let me know.

America can be hard but anything worth doing takes effort. Look what she has become -- she made a good effort to get a taste of big city and country life. Now to be honest she has only scratched the surface of our great nation. She will return many times and America will always be there for her --- she has grown into who she wants to be ! Wonderful young people -- living their lives and dreams in the land of the free - home of the brave....

Utah is perfect the only type of terrain it is missing is tropical beaches

You lived in Moab? That is a beautiful area, with Arches, Canyonlands, and so many other places that seem almost otherworldly because of the oddly shaped red rocks that you honestly can't find anywhere else on the planet.

Emilie, I come from a city in Illinois which was historically settled by Swedes and Italians. (There are now over 100 nationalities here.) I think your English is great, but I've grown up around people with accents, and yours is very minimal. You lived in Moab? What a beautiful little city, and the gateway to Arches (1st. picture) and Canyonlands National Parks, with Bryce Canyon and Zion not all that far away. Wow! I've vacationed in that area many times.

Hi, I just moved to America from France. I am a senior right now and to be honest I am kinda lost. Everybody has their friend groups, and i feel a bit lonely. And I took 4 AP classes and 2 regular classes, so i habe a looot of work, and teachers treat me as a regular student, when actually it takes me longer to do things because... English you know...Idk how i got into 4 ap courses ( ap us history, ap calculus bc, ap physics 2, ib psychology)... Do you people think i am going to survive???

[katemccall]

Thanks for sharing your experience. We will be hosting a Swedish foreign exchange student. This will be our first time hosting. Our school starts this August 7. She will be with us for ten months. We are excited and hope she will will love her experience!
