Question about being an exchange student?
I am in the USA right now. If I go to Poland for my 10th grade year, will I have to repeat that school year when I come back to america? Thanks in advance :]

That depends on your school system. In my high school, I didn't have to repeat the grade but I did need to have the necessary classes to graduate (Senior English, etc.) so that when I came back, I would be able to pick up my diploma. I doubt you would really have to retake the entire year. Make an appointment with your schools advisors to find out. Good luck!

But you realize we do not do abortions in Poland? You should go privately if you need an English speaking doctor. Or why not go to a medical center on campus - they have to help you.

Where can I find information on student travel grants?
Where can I find information on student travel grants?
I've known a lot of people who've traveled with funding from grants. One of my friends got a grant because of her Polish heritage and she went to Poland to study the language. That's what I would want ideally. Does anyone know about any programs like that? By the way, I'm English, Czech, and German.

How can I get a schengen when I'm currently in Poland with my polish visa about to expire?
How can I get a schengen when I'm currently in Poland with my polish visa about to expire?
I'm currently a 4th year medical student in Poland and I have a 1-year polish non-schengen visa ending on January 3rd 2008. I will complete my studies and get my degree on March 15th 2008. But I must leave the country on January 3rd. And since the Schengen has expanded I can't just go to Germany and get the free '90 day tourism' stamp. What are my options? Can I go to the UK and come right back? Do I need to go to the US and wait 180 days? I have not traveled to Germany in over 8 months so i'm not sure the 180 day rule applies to me. Maybe I should just keep a low profile for 2 more and take my chances. Also, i am an american citizen. I appreciate any insight.

Apply for a Schengen visa in any embassy of any country in Poland since your Polish visa is about to expire.

what are you saying? if your studies are not finished and you will graduate march 15th 2008? you should see your school counselor for an extention? it should be allowed, this makes no sense? so? did you know that Poland joined the schengen zone, SCHENGEN ZONE Poland Joins the Schengen Area On 21 December 2007 passport checks were abolished on Poland’s border to Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania by a decision of the European Parliament – all this on account of an extension of the Schengen area to admit nine new states, including Poland. The Schengen area is a zone which comprises the territories of individual EU Member States where specific rules of the Schengen Agreement apply with regard to border security, citizens’ personal data protection, reciprocal cooperation between the signatories’ law enforcement services, issue of visas to foreign nationals, as well as participation in the so-called Schengen Information System (a common electronic database of persons and property) etc. Close cooperation of the services responsible for citizens’ security in a broad sense leads to improvement of the general public security level, including crime combating and prevention. http://www.poland.gov.pl/Poland,in,Schengen,zone,1620.html at the latest it will be january 1st 2008 Poland is scheduled to join the Schengen zone on Jan. 1, 2008. Thirteen EU countries plus Iceland and Norway participate in the scheme, and Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, the Czech Republic and Poland will enter the system soon. http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/6254893.html are your studies paid in full ?do you know any of the country touching poland? in the schengen zone, Germany is the one closet and you do not need a visa a an US citizen,in any other country in the schengen zone Status of membership and implementation As of 21 December 2007, 24 states and Monaco had abolished border controls on persons among themselves, an increase from 15 on 20 December 2007. The nine new countries which entered the Schengen travel area are: The Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.Cyprus, which entered the European Union at the same time as the above states, will delay joining the Schengen zone by one year. Two latest EU entrants, namely Romania and Bulgaria, are enhancing respective security systems to qualify for joining the Schengen territory. The existing 15 countries have been: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. Of these, two countries, Norway and Iceland, are not EU members. now, after all of this, do come back and explain your case better, if you are a student, they will certainly not trow you out right at graduation,or near it, i have never heard of such thing?

You need to apply to an exchange organization. http://www.yfu.org/ - Youth For Understanding http://www.ayusa.org/ - AYUSA http://www.rotary.org/ - Rotary International http://www.aifs.org/ I had an exchange student from AYUSA, and briefly worked for them (interviewing exchange students to do kind of a status check). Frankly, they are a bit disorganized, but they have a lot more opportunities in Asia. Our exchange student met and befriended exchange students who came using different programs. I must say, I have the most respect for Youth For Understanding. Rotary can be good, but I think (I don't know, I think) that they give preference to kids who's parents are in Rotary. I really don't know much about AIFS. Sometimes, you can get a discount if your parents take a foreign exchange student.

Your school surely has the information you need. Talk to the guidance office or one of the Foreign Language teachers. Here's a site to check into, in case your school does not already have something set up. http://www.csiet.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=66167&orgId=cosfiet These are the top programs in the country.
