My friend did a foreign exchange where she went to Norway but her family didn't get an exchange student.

One of my friends in high school was a Japanese foreign exchange student. She stayed with a host family but they didn't have to send one of their children. You'll have to understand that in Japan their schools systems are way more advanced than ours. Shino (the student) was allowed to graduate with our class but had to repeat the 12th grade when she went back to Japan because our school didn't meet the requirements for her to graduate from their school. You'll also have to learn their language (one of the most complicated with over 8,000 characters in their alphabet) and their customs before you can go. Talk to your guidance counselor to get more info on the foreign exchange program. It was their domain in our school.

My girlfriend (Japanese) says you have to be Thai. She said that's all they take.
