My name is Louise Hansson and for 11 months I lived in Michigan, US as an Exchange Student.
My year in Michigan was really the best!! I lived with a wonderful hostfamily where all members had a heart made out of gold. They treated me like I was their own child. I had a fantastic brother and sister that I miss soo much now when I’m back in Sweden. Today I miss a part of my heart - that I left in the US. A part that belongs to all my new friends and family I’ve met during my Exchange Year.
My greatest memory is probably from HIGH SCHOOL STATE FINAL in American Football. I don’t think many exchange student will experience that their school will win State. : ) It was totally awesome!
I not so fun experience was when I tore my hamstring during a basketball game. I was the cheerleader and was laying on the floor hurt during the game. : ) I ended up with crutches and the hospital the next day.
Today I’ve been home in Sweden since July 7th 2009 and I can’t wait until I go to the US again. But then I will probably study in college.
I LOVE AMERICA! I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL!

I was actually an exchange student in Michigan not New York. I turned out to be a senior at my high school.
It´s called explorius. And they were really great. I ended up with an organisation called World Heritage in the us and they weren’t as great as explorius who helped me while I was in sweden.
hi. how r u? i’ve seen ur pics. did u study for free when u was an exchange student?
Hello Dana! I am alright how are you?
No I did not. The thing is I had to pay a certain amount of money to the organisation and they organised my stay. They got my a hostfamily and flight tickets. But in a way i did study for free because the school didnt charge me. The money I payed to the organisation went to flight tickets and paychecks to those who helped me.
I hope this answer is enough
