Be a Realist not an Idealist
It's not glamorous being an exchange student.You will have at least one problem a day.
You won't have three perfect host families.You'll have at least one host brother or sister
who doesn't like you.You will embarrass yourself daily for most of the
exchange.You will become a professional problem solver.
