A high school exchange student lives with a host family that takes care of you. They will take you to their heart and always welcome you as a member of their family. The attachment with a host family stays forever and will always be appreciated.The majority of exchange students spend their time living within the home of one or more host families. These individuals are typically expected to act as more than just providers of food and a bed – as they have chosen to host an “exchange” student, most host families really want to create a setting in which they can “exchange” cultures, learning a little about the student’s way of life in his or her home country while helping them to grasp new language and experience the culture of the host country. Many exchange students forge a very strong relationship with at least one of their host families. Through regularly making an effort to become completely familiar with the people within one’s host family, some exchange students come to be seen as a true member of their “second family” and create a long-lasting relationship.
