New Jersey is a big place.. going from the northern end to the southern end can take 2 hours or more... i would suggest looking at the commercial websites such as expedia.com or hotels.com to get the best rates

Can I afford to be and exchange student, and where should go, what program should I use?
Can I afford to be and exchange student, and where should go, what program should I use?
I really want to be an exchange student. I'm pretty sure you got that from the title, but I don't have money. I really wanted to go fall '09, but that is just not going to be possible, so I'm thinking fall 2010. Only BIG problem is money. My sister is going to college next year (yaaayyaaaaaaa) and that is going to break the bank as it is. I really want this though, I've tried everything to get money but I'm having trouble. Anyway, to sum this up, I need three things: What program? (I've looked at AFS and YFU and like them both)(One with a lot of scholorship oppotunities!!) Where should I go? (I like the Netherlands and Turkey a lot.) How do I get MONEY?!!!!! Thank you!!! Any help would be GREAT!!

You should try the rotary club. There is usually one in every city, and if not then there should be one within driving distance. The rotary club is by far the safest and cheapest option, i know that that sounds like a contridiction haha. Instead of just anyone applying to be a host family, they only take people who are part of the club. To be in the club, these people must be business owners or influential people which means that most of them are wealthy. One girl, in Argentina, is currently staying with the President of Argentina! A girl from another company is staying with us, and when interviewed the woman told us the girls needs didnt matter and that we shouldnt base our decisions on her. Im glad the rotary club does a better job than that! To be an exchange student though, you dont have to be in the club, you just need to apply and go to some meetings where you will meet inbounds (current exchange students) and outbounds (people going next year). Its also really good because of the cost. It cost about as much as a flight ticket (which is inlcuded) and insurance and your host club will give you about $100 a month. You dont have to speak the language to apply, but its good to learn before you leave. They also offer ALOT of countries. Pretty much everything in south america, europe, scandanavia, asia, and india and south africa. Next year im going to iceland and im sure its going to be the best expierince of my life. I know i couldnt have done it without the rotary club. I hope you have as good of luck as i did. sorry for typing so much haha -Erin, 15 p.s. they also offer scholarships if you need them :)

Are you sure about Turkey??? Be really sure!!! I have a friend whose son was in Turkey last year on a University exchange. He was supposed to be there the whole year...he came home at semester...he was pretty freaked! War and all that! I think Turkey would be tough for a lot of Westerners...I would suggest going with Netherlands. Money? I don't know...my parents wouldn't let me go in hs, because of money...I think it was better in University, anyway, because I had more freedom and got to do my OWN thing... AFS and YFU are possibly the top two programs in the country...go with that thought. Go with your eyes wide open...know what you are getting yourself into, and you will have the time of your life!

You sound like you've done a lot of research. That is good. AFS does have a lot of scholarships...I think there is even one to Turkey. YFU is good too, and so is Rotary. Money? Well I would try getting a job and fundraising! http://www.cultures-shocked.org/Joomla/forum/index.php?

What does everyone think about an American becoming an Au Pair in Turkey?
What does everyone think about an American becoming an Au Pair in Turkey?
I have had contact with a woman who lives in Istanbul Turkey, she's asked me to become her Au Pair I've gotten to talk to her on Skype and have seen her daughter she also whats to have a talk with my mother you know mom to mom she says, she's a university teacher where she lives and I have looked up her school that she teaches at and its legit she's also given me her Facebook well what I'm asking is does everything seem ok I know you guys can't say for sure but I want to know everyone's advice I'm a college student who whats to make sure she's safe ^_^ I have a lot of sense but everyone slips up when they think they know everything She lives in Istanbul and has two kids not just the one (sorry) also I would be living with a friend of theres who is said to be gay, she's sent me pics of the place which her daughter the same one I've seen on the cam was in the background

I don't know how you become an au pair but if I were you, I would be careful. You never know.
2 :
Probably they genuinely want you in order to teach English with American accent for the little girl. However, do you speak Turkish? Do you think you will be happy in a country, however westernised has deep Islamic routs? I lived in Turkey for 1 year and until now from all the countries I lived in (Lebanon was my fave), Turkey is the least I liked and had most awful experiences however careful I was to avoid them. Is the only country I could not return to visit. Check for pics of short movies about Turkey on the net, youtube.com etc. Some of them are very eye opening.

i didn't know what the heck was an au pair before i looked it up ^^ anyways, if you made up your mind about moving to Turkey and continuing your education here; then being an "au pair" in fact seems like a pretty good idea, given that you make sure everything about this person seems ok beforehand. where does this woman live in Turkey? the location where she lives could change your experience more than you could imagine. other than that the info you gave about her sounds actually very nice and if true, you should have nothing to worry about. how bout this, maybe you could come along with a friend (preferably a guy if you will) for the first couple of weeks to feel safer and then when you believe there's nothing to worry about, your friend could turn back. good luck!

londonsth, you question the happiness in turkey because "however westernised has deep Islamic routs" and lebanon is your fav country? it's a beautiful country for sure, but there's discrepancy. LOL are you the jewish troll who just came to this section? do you know what you're talking about well nobody is expecting you to return. we would be happier if the tourist crowd (esp the useless ones) would be less in number (30 million ppl each year,i started to hate touristic towns) there are already many americans and europeans living here, esp istanbul. she could find from them. idk sounds weird. check the website of her school if they have a teacher's page. call her on the phone. but i would be suspicous about such an invitation. anyway depends on how much you know her and how you met. so i cant say anything. at first you may come with your family or another friend. you may come alone too, if you trust.

The best thing you can do is contact American Consulate in Istanbul. They would probably make a background check for you. http://istanbul.usconsulate.gov/
