How old do you have to be to become a foreign exchange student in Germany?
@ Bryan M. Thank you so much! So a 13 year old could go? I'm asking this for my younger sister. She is 13 years old and wants to go to school in Germany. She could stay with my Dad's friend's family.

Depends on several things are you going to stay with a host family or on your own. If you want to stay on your own you need to be 18 since otherwise things will be very complicated due to the reason you are no adult and thus can not sign any contract. If you stay with a host family there is no age limit since the host family will be responsible for you. From the point of view when does it make sense to come to Germany as an exchange student that will depend on your knowledge of German you should be able to understand at least some German already when you come here. I will join the site of DAAD which might be of interest for you. EDIT If you are 13 you would need the ok from your parents of course if you have that you could go. As said before you would need a host family since you can not live on your own in Germany at age 13 and you would need to understand basic German when you come here already. I have been to France for 6 months when I was 12 for an exchange program myself.
