  • welcome to my EF high school exchange year story, in five minutes 💌 back in 2021, I became an EF high school exchange student in the USA, and it was undoubtedly the best decision I have ever made. It has not been easy, but in the end, it's all worth it. I will forever be grateful for all the memories I have gotten to experience, lessons I have learned, and people I have met because of this exchange year. thank you for everything america and thank you to EF for changing my life. #efclassof22 @EFHighSchoolYear @efexchangeyear_sverige @efexchangeyear

    wait, i have a question. so i really want to do an exchange year maybe in grade 10 or 11 (i'm finishing 9 right now). how long is the process between finding out you get to go and actually going? because i noticed at the start of the video you said you found out at the end of 2019 and went halfway through 2021 - is this how long it all takes? or was it postponed due to covid or other stuff? because with this schedule if i apply this year I'll only be able to go two years from now - is this the earliest you can do?

    • @aliciafuchstrantidis
      @aliciafuchstrantidis  Před rokem

      the process is usually faster, in my case it was later because of covid!! I would suggest starting applying around a year before departure:)

      check with your local EF office for the exact prices, as it has changed since I went on my exchange year! but expect at least 10 000 euros.
