I had a great time before, during and after my exchange as the support AFS provides locally and in my exchange country was excellent! I felt well prepared and learned a lot during the many camps! I got individual support as well from my local AFS chapter and my school! My host family was also really nice and I am still in contact with them today!

AFS is a great organisation and also an amazing community to be a part of. My exchange semester opened new doors to the world and myself and I love how open AFS members are to others and communication.

I spend half a year abroad and had a really good time. My host family was perfect and the camps were informative and fun. I can really recommend AFS to future exchange students.

My year in the States changed my life for the better! 11/10 would do it again!

I put all my illusion preparing myself for five months for an extraordinary experience one year abroad. I did all the job while AFS did not find me a host family. I kept on doing efforts not to get down when I was informed by AFS that my permanent host family was finally temporary. I followed the internal rules asking for a new host family while spending 3 hours a day commuting. I felt pushed by two AFS adults to sign a document. I was sent back home with no explanation of the rules I, eventually, broke. Thanks, AFS.

As a granddad in my 70s I just can advise families to avoid this organization. Although it may seem positive that it is a volunteer organization, they work in silos in each country and are not able to manage minor issues professionally. So, at the end of the day, it all depends on our teenagers. My grandson’s experience has been awful.

My nephew has been in Austria with this organization recently and we could define AFS management as awful. His host family’s house was really far from his school and, when he requested a change of host family, they did not take his request into account at all, and they even tried to convince him to stay. They did not move at all in five weeks and they even tried to blame him of arriving late to school, when he spent almost 90 minutes commuting. When sending teenagers abroad I would recommend professional organizations.

I would never send my son with this association. It all depends on the family, if it suits your needs, fantastic, if it doesn't, you can spend the whole year crying. They are not careful when choosing families, many of them find them through advertisements in newspapers.
