my sister used these guys to go from australia to denmark and they seemed pretty good. she got home in one piece and her host family were awesome. probably they do them in the opposite direction too. come to australia. it kicks ass. if you travel around europe when you are older it is easy to make london your base so you can do the UK then.

I am making two assumptions with my answer: (1) you are a high school student and (2) you live in the USA. Forgive me, but I have a bit of bad news. Many organizations have suspended their programs to the UK due to a difficulty in getting student visas. However, these programs might possibly resume for the 2011-2012 school year. If I may, I would like to cast a vote for Youth For Understanding (YFU). I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with YFU (in the USA). When I have asked exchange students why they chose YFU, I get the following answers: (1) YFU gave them more bang for their buck and/or (2) someone they knew and trusted recommended YFU. 95% of the fees collected by YFU go for direct program costs (airline tickets, support in hosting country, etc.). YFU has been around for 59 years and has learned how to make exchanges successful. If you would consider one of YFU's other English-speaking programs (this year they have them to South Africa, Ghana, India, and Australia) or one of the other approximately 30 countries that don't require previous language study, you can email me or check out the website : yfuusa.org. I sincerely wish you luck! Please do make sure that any program that you choose is listed with the Council for Standards for International Educational Travel (csiet.org).

Australia is very strict and you would be competing with a lot of well educated people. Not easy at all and nothing in life worth having is easy.

I'm not too sure what a BBA is but I presume it's a Bachelor's degree from university. The problem is Australians tend to go via work experience and then credentials. For example they had a shortage of hairdressers and plumbers. DIAC (Department of Immigration and Citizenship) would look at how many years people had worked in that job, then they would look at their credentials (eg what country they came from and if they would meet the standard of Australian ones). My friend was trained as an accountant at university. Great on paper but never had a job in his life. When he went to the real world he found he couldn't get a job as an accountant because he had no work experience, even though he said he would happily work any level in accounting, he got declined because they all thought that once he had his experience that he would leave and he works in Australia. He eventually worked in a job that offers less pay then he could have gotten but he is getting work experience and I expect he'll have a harder time going to become an accountant when the time is up because then they'll say that he needs to refresh his knowledge because he hasn't worked there for awhile.

I am going on Student Exchange to Australia?

I am going on Student Exchange to Australia?
I am going on student exchange to Australia!! I live in France, and I am to go to Australia for 6 months in December - June. What can I expect from going on Exchange to Australia? I'm quite nervous! What is the differences between France and Australia? I speak English well, so that is not a problem, but the culture differences are worrying. What am I to expect? I will be living in both canberra and sydney!

You will love it. On average I found Australians to be the friendliest most open people I have met. It may take some getting used to their blunt approach, not always diplomatic, just straightforward

Exchange is very exciting, I've done it twice. Assuming you'll be here for more than 2 months, you'll likely experience culture shock. "Shock" is a bit of a strong word, but you will go through a few emotions, how intense will depend on your situation (mine were noticeable, but nothing too difficult). It depends on how adjustable you are. But first you'll be excited, as everything is new and different. Then you'll be annoyed, as your way makes more sense then their way. And then you adjust, and accept the difference. Australia is quite laid back, you'll enjoy it. There is a lot to see and do! Never been to Canberra, but Sydney is a great city - you're very lucky to be living there. Don't be nervous, you'll love it! Be excited!
