Student exchange program A student exchange program is a program in which students from a secondary schoolor university study abroad at one of their institution's partner institutions. A student exchange program may involve international travel, but does notnecessarily require the student to study outside their home country. Foreign exchange programs provide students with an opportunity to study in adifferent country and environment experiencing the history and culture of another country. The term \"exchange\" means that a partner institution accepts a student, but does notnecessarily mean that the students have to find a counterpart from the other institution withwhom to exchange. Exchange students live with a host family or in a designated place such asa hostel, an apartment, or a student lodging. Costs for the program vary by the country andinstitution. Participants fund their participation via scholarships, loans, or self-funding. Student exchanges became popular after World War II, and are intended to increasethe participants' understanding and tolerance of other cultures, as well as improving theirlanguage skills and broadening their social horizons. Student exchanges also increasedfurther after the end of the Cold War. An exchange student typically stays in the host countryfor a period of 6 to 10 months. International students or those on study abroad programsmay stay in the host country for several years. Some exchange programs also offer academiccredit.Short-term exchange A short-term exchange program is also known as summer/intensive or culturalexchange program. These focus on homestays, language skills, community service, or culturalactivities. High school and university students can apply for the programs through variousgovernment or non-governmental organizations that organize the programs. A short-termexchange lasts from one week to three months and doesn’t require the student to study inany particular school or institution. The students are exposed to an intensive program thatincreases their understanding of other cultures, communities, and languages.Long-term exchange Enthusiastic welcome offered to the first Indian student to arrive to Dresden, EastGermany (1951) A long-term exchange is one which lasts six to ten months or up to one full year.Participants attend high school in their host countries, through a student visa. Typically, gueststudents coming to the United States are issued a J-1 cultural exchange visa or an F-1 foreignstudent visa. Students are expected to integrate themselves into the host family, immersingthemselves in the local community and surroundings. Upon their return to their homecountry they are expected to incorporate this knowledge into their daily lives, as well as givea presentation on their experience to their sponsors. Many exchange programs expectstudents to be able converse in the language of the host country, at least on a basic level.

Some programs require students to pass a standardized test for English languagecomprehension prior to being accepted into a program taking them to the United States.Other programs do not examine language ability. Most exchange students become fluent inthe language of the host country within a few months. Some exchange programs, such as theCongress-Bundestag Youth Exchange, are government-funded programs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_exchange_program
