Where should I go as an Exchange Student?
The countries I'm looking at right now are Poland, Sweden, Russia, and New Zealand. I'm American, so I really think I could learn a lot from any of these. Advise on what I should choose? Why? Thanks for all the answers!!! I appreciate it!

Sweden would be nice because it's a very progressive country, and has a system that works very well. There are a lot of lessons that America could learn from Sweden. It also has an interesting history and culture.

New Zealand.

Russia: It is very difficult for the average traveller to gain access to Russia. Though they are starting to ease up on who they let in, non student visas to Russia can be difficult and costly to obtain. However student visas are pretty easy to get, and it would be an easy in to a country you may never get to see again (at least not easily) additionally russia is a beautiful country with a rich history and very interesting, crazy, vodka consuming people. Russia would be great. Poland would be great because eastern europe kicks ass, New Zealand would be great because of it's friendly people and warm climate, Sweden would be great because swedes are smokin hot!!!! But yeah choose russia, studying there is a once in a lifetime!

Sweden! I'm in Sweden right now as an exchange student with AFS, and i could not have chosen a better country. I have been here for almost 6 months, and everything about Sweden is just amazing. First off, it's beautiful, I've traveled a little around Sweden (I live in Stockholm) and every place I have been has been completely breath taking. The food part- honestly is pretty okay, it might not be the best food you will ever eat, but it depends on your family, that goes for whatever country you choose though. The language, is a challenge, you'll have to learn the ä,ö, and å. But after a couple of months it will be no problem. Swedes can seem really shy at first, but once you get to know a Swede, you form an amazing bond. I could go on forever about why you should choose Sweden and how amazing it is. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Choose whatever country you think will make you happy. I personally think an american going to New Zealand is not a "challenging exchange". New Zealand is pretty similar to the US, and you wouldn't get the benefit of learning a new language. Keep that in mind.
