I wish I could give you some information based direct experience (i.e. having been there), but I am not lucky enough to be able to do that.

However, there are some links below that you can use.

If you need to know more about the process of becoming an exchange student, you can email me.

Sorry I couldn't help more! Perhaps the agency with which you are traveling has more information.
