Answers

Should i exchange foreign currency at home or at destination? Should I use ATM or Foreign Exchange Service?

I am heading to Japan from Australia and am wondering what the most economical way is for me to exchange my currency. Should i do it in Australia or wait till i get to Japan? Should i use ATM's or should i use a foreign exchange service? Your help would be great!


best way is wait to be in Japan, directly in to the airport you'll find exchange desk with no fee or a cheap one for cash,
ATM is always available for visa, american express and so on,
some time it's cheaper and faster to change some cash money.

best foreign exchange service program to use for a high school student wanting to France for a year?

i want to go to France for a year for foreign exchange, i known about programs such as afs, yfu, and interax(not sure about spelling). i was wondering what one is better and cheaper. and if there are any other programs that are better. thanks for your help, i have the 2 years of french in high school requirements. thanks for your help


AFS, YFU and Rotary International are the best. Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive. I never recommend Intrax because they are affiliated with AYUSA, one of the programs with the most difficulties.

Edit: Sue gave a good answer but implied that host families are paid in programs OTHER than Rotary. This is not true. Host families in ALL CSIET certified programs are volunteer.

Will being a AFS Argentina foreign exchange(Summer community service) student, help me get into med school?

I am a senior at high school planning on traveling aboard to Argentina for 2 months. I am planning on participating in community service where can do one of the following:
- Volunteer in orphanage
-Help teach soccer to children with disability
-work on environmental projects restoring parks.

Which activity would be best for medical school? Do you that med school would like the fact that I went aboard to Argentina or not really since I did it during senior year at high school?


Not really if you do it in high school because you don't get credit. Colleges have international study offices that offer exchange programs related to the field you are interested in so choose something in the medical field. Check out the Committee for Safety of Foreign Exchange Students for help. This will help you a lot.

What is the best option for cell service for a foreign exchange student that will be here for 1 year?

* Would like to not have to sign the contract for her
* She is with us for only a month, then with her other host family for the remainder of the year.
* She would like to take her cell back to Germany (tri/quad band phone?)


Most service providers (in the US?) have pre-paid cell phone service. These are, ofcourse, more expensive than post paid service. There is a connection fee associated and also the balance on the card will decrease with the time you use the phone. These plans also come with a certain amount of free talk time with the recharge amount that you choose.
As for the phone, you can buy any phone that the service provider provides but you will not be able to get the discount that they offer when you buy 2 or 3 year contract. Rarely, they do offer 1 year contract, its worth you asking them if they offer it at the time.
Also the phones are locked so that they cannot be used outside the country, for that you will need to unlock it from the service provider once she wants to go back (but that applies only if the phone is a quad band).
