- Hope this helps some of you who are thinking of going to Japan for exchange. I went with the exchange company AFS and I was overall quite happy with them.. My LP was an incredible person, she's like my 3rd mother to me.. really nice and really cared for me. I was put together with 2 other wonderful people in my chapter and sent to a great school.. I had a couple of conflicts with AFS but I guess it can't be helped..
I guess in terms of the rules, all exchange companies are the same.. you don't get to choose where you want to go and it really just depends on your luck.. same with Rotary and JFIE(AIIU)..
Thank you to all the exchange students who allowed me to interview them, really appreciated it!!!

I am not sure why but when i watch this video i felt like i want to cry..Deep inside felt sad for no reason.
MumuTora same
Cause you never had the experience that I'm sure you wish you had.
Damn, 6 years ago. Hope you're doing ok.
Rotary! FTW
I was just searching for new exchange videos and I saw you uploaded one ! Best day ever. :) Thank you for uploading this & I'm glad you had a great time!
ROTARY!!! i am on exchange now, for a whole year. best expeirance so far, and it is changing my life, for the better. i love it
When I have finished high school I want to study Russian. Do you advise me first to go to Moscow with AFS so that I can learn the language better?
Cheers from Belgium ;)
Did you ever do it? If so, I am looking to go to Japan in about 2 years, and need a good exchange program. After this Pandemic of course
i only started watching your vids and i think i already watched like 30 of them :)
For some reaons, I just want to say that all exchange or international students have strong spirit. They have the encourage to leave their comfort zones and explore new and unfamilar places.
i'm an exchange student in USA and i also went to japan . i love their airport XD lol
"Cos you're overdosed on your dying." xD
If anyone missed the student exchange opportunity, there's always working holiday visas after school
it is a great video!!!!! I could relate to a lot of the exchange students in this video :D I was an exchange student to Perm Russia for the 2012-2013 school year :D Truly magnificent I wish i was in on that conversation :D !!!!
I'm only 13 and I'm a exchange student so yeah kinda sucked at first but u know its kinda nice now I always loved Japan and now that I'm here its incredible all thought I can't wait to go home and tell my adventure old lol see u all soon
Your videos are amazing! I found your channel a while ago and I´ve following ever since! Now I´m also an exchange student and because of you I have been making videos about it! Hope you can see it and that you like it! Congrats for the great videos!
I plan to go to Japan in Spring 2015 to Kansai Gaidai University through Keene State College's Study Abroad Program. Anyone who is a student at the college is allowed to go as long as they pay for the costs. The costs come to about to the equivalent of US $14,928 a semester for one semester. I am learning Japanese right now. However, I have a poor memory at remembering kanji compunds.
I am from norway and I am going to Japan in 5 days and will be a exchange student to february 2 :D so I hope that I will have a good time like you had :D :D
@garrettparson I can understand your pain. I myself have poor parents and i always wanted to go to another country. Im planning on going to the Philippines someday when im 20 or older. Right now, its not easy, with all the stress that comes with living in the ghetto streets of NY. New York is a good place, only if your living in the right parts of it and have a good job. If not, don't bother coming here. Its not worth it. All of my relatives moved from NY.
Have you ever heard of the LABO foreign exchange program based in Japan . They host summer exchange programs for english or japanese students. To go to America or Japan. That is what i'm thinking i want to go with now. And only for $1,500 for the trip not including flight ticks though. :/ But it is the best deal i found so far! Im super excited!
I want to study abroad sooo bad I'm hoping to next summer only problem for me is money but fingers crossed aver thing works out I really want to see Japan
I noticed when the guy was talking about AFS's good and bad their was a lady behind him with 3 suitcases, two in her hands and the other in front of her, she was having such a hard time pushing the one in front of her.
wow, this one is really good0_0
I feel the sadness... is everyone leaving japan in the video?
I understand completely... nuff said!
@LizLopezOfficial There are different organisations, that send students to different contries. Im from Denmark, and going to the us this summer! My organisation is called EF. But there are meny others: Ef, YFU, STS, Explorious, My education, AFS, Rotary, and others as well. But it depends on your own homecountry, and you destination. You are more than welcome to contact me if you have any questions! :)
ROTARY IS SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! they organize trips and keep you involved with the other exchagne students. i am currently on exchange in Chile from USA and it has been the best 3 months of my life so far, ive made friends from ALL OVER the world that i know will be in my life for a varry long time.
@kyradoodle Thats for a year.Instead I have found something much more worth the money. The school of Yamasa. When going there you can stay with either a host family or a dorm on campus. Classes are six hours a day solid japanese. The rest of the day you can do whatever you like. The prices are the cheapest I have seen and you will gain much more japanese than any other normal foreign exchange. The only down side to Yamasa that I can see is that you do not get the Japanese Highschool experience.
LOL to the lady in the background kicking her bag XD 4:51
My AFS chapter was pretty bad... Actually really just the chapter president. And some rules. I absolutely adored my LP, although the chapter president got angry at him and tried to commandeer his position because he disagreed with her on something. o.O
I had a sort of weird relationship with my host family, but my friends at school, in my club, the other exchange students, were all some of the best friends I've ever had. My last day of school was an enormous sob fest (and I never cry in public).
Im a exchange student from France now im in America
would be cool if i had this kind of thing in my country, but no, they aren't even taking us on trips to see stuff, 12 years of school and i've been on trips 3 times and i missed 2, didn't have money
it is late for me if i'm in my sophomore year and i'm 21 yo?
i will probably visit japan when i reach my senior year so i wanted to know...
@Orangetummy No, our exchange got cancelled....
Orangetummy I have a question.. I am too late to exchange as a highschool student which I would still love to experience. but is it possible to visit a college in Japan?
all colleges have exchange programs
I have been looking at going to Japan for a summer foreign exchange student program (2months) with the ASF program but the thing is it is to expensive for me. The price they are asking is $8,300 and I was wondering if their are any other more affordable programs? Please help!
google rotary youth exchange! click on the one that says about youth exchange.... yeah a lot of people go to europe! :D if you have any more questions do not hesitate to ask! :D
WOOW! your profile looks like CL from 2ne1! Kawaii!
I was not saying this beacause of that but beacause of the scenario he said about being a transfer student etc...
Girl with the stitch hat is so cute. >. <
@Orangetummy How would an African-American foreign exchange student be treated in Japan?
I want to live in Japan. So I asked my mom:
Me: Mom, can we move to Japan?
Mom: What!?
Me: Japan schools are so cool.
Mom: Heck no... we live in America!
Me: *puppy dog face*
Mom: NO.
Me: :c
dad:ooh! look guys! ''RICH KIDS'' oohh! ooh! dont touch them! just appreciate their beauty by seeing not touching tommy
tommy:sorry dad
dad:just look how pretty they are..so majestic this creatures are... so delicate, No wonder their extinct!
How do I become an exchange student? I have always wanted to go to europe but I will never have a chance.
waaa I wanna go to Japan
majestic creatures arent they........
I'm planning on going to japan as a exchange student this summer and my sensei said i would do well. what program would be good for me because this last march I hosted a student from Sendai and he was such an awesome kid I will never forget him. so if theres any programs you would recommend let me know because I have to start fundraising soon If i'm going
@Orangetummy do you think that the program for exchange is still possible in 2012, 2 years after the tsunami?
so many ways my friend i am in russia i came with rotary :D if you live n the usa.. well there is a rotary club in almost every country you just have to find one that sends out exchange students..
They program im gunna be using is AFS!! 0.0
I was going to use Rotary. But, it turns out the UK Government don't let British students outside the EU. Bummer for me!
Wait, why?? Does it still apply even after 3 years because I want to apply for an exchange to Japan?
Yes thank you,but i have already tried to talk my mom into it an she still says "no" because she thinks afs is safer. T^T
Is that one of the things you judge people on when you first meet them?
i like this video:) very helpful:))) thanks for uploading:)
Can you go to Japan on the exchange program, finish it, and then just stay in Japan?
@garrettparson 12,000 dollars yikes! how long are you going? im going for 2 weeks next year and were doing disneyland the whole ball a wax and we only have to pay 2000 dollars and get about 900 dollars back at the end because of fundraising.
what the name of the song in the beganing
wow Rachel, did you spend all your free time on video editing?
gotta teach me some of your skills sometimes :).
I live in England] where there ar]en't any exchange programs :( ]I still want to be an exchange student, what do I] do?
Any at all?.___.
Nope~ well if there is any then there all in schools or colleges but my school doesn't do it
Bangtan Girl Because I live in Finland and even we have change to become an exchange student :0
England sucks :/
Bangtan Girl I really thought that England would have that ;_;
@elliotcarroll may i suggest something? i'm just speculating but can't you get a grant to help pay or have your parents or legal guardians sign up for a program to also help pay because that's what i'm doing because in april of 2012 i'm heading to ching for 2 weeks in my school (im 17) and that's what my mom is doing to pay for the trip since she can't pay out of pocket
Fingernails across the chalk board...oh...that was Australian!! Ouch does that hurt!!
hey, transfer students are cool in japan. ^-^
good luck~
Do you recommend doing an exchange program in high school? I want to go to London though, not Japan
Did you just wake up?
Do need like really good grades to become an exchange student?? Im almost at my senior year of high school and i really want to exchange before i leave high school!
I'm applying and have questions,
When it asks for an adult size t shirt does it mean a japanese sized adult or american sized adult because I think theirs is a lil different, if we don't make the exchange scholarship are we allowed to try again and when? (same year or have to wait, and it asks for your passport # in the application. To get the # u have to buy a passport right? Why r u supposed 2 already have ur passport in the application if u don't even know if made it yet? thanks please help
Im going hopefully spring 2012, Watching this video kinda shocked me, Im not trying to be mean to a select few people on there but if you didnt spend time trying to learn japanese why even go, or if you thought it was completely boring then what a waste. I would love to go and I have to bust my butt for im a 15 year old and to make over 12,000 dollars to go with afs with poor parents is not easy.
Lol got distracted by the girl at 4:49 who's kicking her luggage in the background XDDD
wow this was really depressing....but insightful none the less
hey rachel, i rmb one guy said before u leave they mayb help u make farewell party... did it happen??
Are you going to go back to Japan?

i don't like when people think its like an anime ether, i mean its nice and such there but life is real haha. but life always has random times that are like anime and such mostly sense some are based off of real life happenings. yu didn't have to be upset or anything from random person say that though. shes just having fun, but i do understand what yur saying as well. just let people think as they want though is their own problem if they think that going to japan turns them into anime hahaha!
@AnimeUnite122 Im jealous. Like to trade?
I love you
...there is literally no organization that would allow you to go on exchange. what is your point?
So many Australians
Ummm, that sounded dumb so im not gonna be an exchange student anymore!
Don’t let the negatives change your answer. There will be tough times and great times. I think u should go! Sorry this is late
Go to belgium ;)
Muahahaha you got pretty good point there Nigeriable
