craigslist in Wuzburg I use craigslist for alot of things and it has done me good so far.

www.immobilienscout24.de is the major German site for finding a place to stay. you have to register, but don't worry, they won't pester you with spam. looking for a place there is free, you only have to pay to offer a place yourself. I've already lived in several places I found over that site, and found a new tenant for the one I'll be leaving by the end of this month.

How did you get her? If it was thorough some agency try contacting the agency. Also try the school that she went to in the US and even the agency in Germany that handles passport and study visas./

theres the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange scholarship. its a full scholarship to germany. i applied for this last year and it was a hassle, but i think if you are able to get it it'd be well worth it. they only give out 250 though. i'm going to germany on exchange next year through the rotary club. its pretty inexpensive. they havent given me an exact number yet, but they've estimated about $3500 and they give you an allowance every month of between $50-$100. so if you aren't able to get any scholarships thats always an option.

how can I host an exchange student in Colombia?


how can I host an exchange student in Colombia?
I have been searching up exchange student agencies, but they only look for north american families to host international students. I am 17 and I have been an exchange student in Germany before. I also lived in the US for 5 years and I was born in Brazil. I now live in Colombia and I would love to host a student here! My brother is leaving for a year so I`ll be lonely with my parents! If you are interested write your email address below and I will contact you!

Your best bet is to use an exchange program. YFU and AFS both exchange to Colombia, contact them and apply! http://www.yfu.org/co/index.html http://www.afs.org.co/col_sp/home
2 :
Rotary Youth Exchange is another possible source for exchange students. If you get in touch with your local Rotary Club I'm sure they'd have a student for you to host.

At what age do students in Germany attend secondary school?

At what age do students in Germany attend secondary school?
I know that students start primary school at age 6 in Germany, but I need to know when they start secondary school. I know that there are different types of secondary school, but do students start at different ages for each type of secondary school or do they all start at the same age.

The two biggest exchange student programs in the US are AFS http://afs.org/afs_or/focus_on/hosting and Youth For Understanding http://youthforunderstanding.org/host-families.php . Contact their office to see if they are still looking for host families for the summer. But it's probably too late -host families are usually lined up in Feb/March for the coming summer, but there may be a last minute cancellation from someone

No, if you hold a German "Visum" valid for "Schengener Staaten" which is type C visa and is still valid you may also visit Switzerland on that visa. Switzerland has joined the Schengen zone as 25th country last December.

As the second poster has pointed out you can well travel to Switzerland on Schengen Visa. Switzerland has joined Shengen last December http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_area#Membership
