    Do you want to study abroad through an AFS(国际文化交流组织) program? If you do, it's time to think about it.

    An AFS program surely makes you stand out (脱颖而出) when you're applying for a college. Colleges often express how experiencing a foreign culture can be more valuable than one more AP course or after-school activity. Universities really need students who value cross-cultural experience. High school is a perfect time to study a new language. Being in the country where a language is spoken is one of the quickest and best ways to learn the language. If you know one more language, you'll not only be more competitive in college applications and jobs, but you'll also be able to communicate and connect with other cultures.

    An AFS exchange can lead to new perspectives (看法)on the world. By living with a host family, meeting new international friends and attending a foreign school, studying abroad could be one of the best ways for you to understand today's important things.

    High school is a critical time for teenagers to start thinking about big academic and professional decisions. Your decisions in high school can greatly influence your future. Being an exchange student in high school could provide you with new opportunities to develop skills.

    Exciting. Rewarding. Memorable. These are words AFS students use to describe their life abroad. If you go to study abroad through an AFS program, you'll begin an adventure of a lifetime.
