This is literally my biggest dream

[@AboodVlog]

What happened to EF ..? I was studying with them 2010 in Manchester and 2013 in Barcelona.. it was the best days in my life and it was the best days for EF it was wild and a lot of people there and the best things is living in the student accommodation 😂

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

EF is still amazing!

[@moa12289-x]

En minut in i videon jag gråter🥲glad att du haft ett bra år! Kan inte förstå att min dröm slår in om tre veckor😭❤️Och en till sak! Vad redigerar och filmar du med?! Älskar dina videor❤️

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

men ÅHH tack så jättemycket fina du🥺❤️ lycka till med ditt år nu!! filmar med canon g7x och redigerar med final cut pro

[@tilverine]

i have really bad social anxiety but I still do really wanna do an exchange year in the US before it's too late.

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

you will really regret it if you don’t do it, and you’ll grow so much socially

[@prvt_afg]

Hello, I also want to come there, but my English is not very good. Can you give me some information about this? please

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

Hi, your English definitely doesn’t have to be perfect to go there, it’s fine as long as you can make yourself understood. You are there to learn better English and you definitely will improve so much!!

[@SK-lf1cr]

most people hear in America cant speak English well tbh,so as long as you know the basic words and phrases you can fill in the rest as you get more experince.

[@stelamarcheva9670]

This is literally my dream, waiting for my scholarship results as I am writing this. :))

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

ahh good luck!!

Amazing video 🤩

[@paulag2566]

If you need help to get into college (admissions, scholarships etc) I recommend The College Counseling Specialist, based in Irvine CA

[@marina_varnava]

This video is incredible 😭❤️ I have a question, I really want to go with EF too but I don’t really understand it, do I select “EF language year abroad”? If I do, it’ll place me into a public school right? Not the EF campus?

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

hii, thank you so much!!🥺 you should choose “EF exchange year” if you want to be placed in a public school. you can show EF that you’re interested in going on an exchange year by using this link: bit.ly/32qQjow ❤️

[@marina_varnava]

@@aliciafuchstrantidis thank you so so much!! They don’t have any exchange programs now, I think I have to wait until admissions open up

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

@@marina_varnava no problem!!❤you should be able to show your interest and request a free brochure using my link, and later apply! admissions should be open all year round:)

[@marina_varnava]

@@aliciafuchstrantidis I cannot thank you enough, I didn’t know about this! I’m so glad you had such an amazing time, I hope so much I’ll achieve that too someday

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

thank you!! I wish you all the luck!!❤️

[@tipdip2100]

i just cried

[@Discoverwithpitto]

Wow

[@TravelPakistan007]

Hi Alicia , can we continue our study in USA after completing the yes program

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

Hi, I have never heard of the yes program before so I suggest you to reach out to someone with more information.

[@thefreshprincessofeverywai4302]

How does one become an exchange student???? Who did u "exchange"???

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

Start out by finding an exchange organization that you like and contact them! I went with the company EF.

[@SK-lf1cr]

its the "exchange" of ideas, relations and language. It's about the experiences in the host countries to the students countries as a way to show diversity and different ideas

[@bernaescallar8292]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from our family- Kapiso Mo Vlog

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

thank you!!

[@Helena-km8pu]

I love the way how you did this video, it's soo nice!🤍

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

thank you so much💕💕

[@ebubeshalomben7463]

Do they offer scholarships?

[@Magdalinaluvvv]

It’s so expensive please tell me does it have financial aid or help with money?

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

you could reach out to your local EF office for scholarships etc!

[@Discoverwithpitto]

I need your support

[@andyfox1979]

Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Say hi to Rogier for me

[@sashaz6109]

wait, i have a question. so i really want to do an exchange year maybe in grade 10 or 11 (i'm finishing 9 right now). how long is the process between finding out you get to go and actually going? because i noticed at the start of the video you said you found out at the end of 2019 and went halfway through 2021 - is this how long it all takes? or was it postponed due to covid or other stuff? because with this schedule if i apply this year I'll only be able to go two years from now - is this the earliest you can do?

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

the process is usually faster, in my case it was later because of covid!! I would suggest starting applying around a year before departure:)

[@akshaynk626]

👍

[@titibonbon6103]

Hello, I don't know if you will see this message but I currently live in France. I can't speak English. Did you know how to speak English before going to America or did you learn everything there in class?

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

Hi! Yes I knew how to speak English before, but it got way better after my year in America. In Sweden we start learning English at an early age in school:)

[@titibonbon6103]

Do you think I can only do it with the base I have? Because I don't want to lose it in class

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

I think you need to have at least an understanding in English before you go, but you’ll learn a lot during your time there as well.

[@leilarothbauer6542]

With what company did you go ?

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

EF!

[@Harlowchomp]

How much does it cost?😮‍💨

[@aliciafuchstrantidis]

check with your local EF office for the exact prices, as it has changed since I went on my exchange year! but expect at least 10 000 euros.
