Has somebody been on an student exchange program in india for a year?
I'm asking this question because in August I will be leaving with the AFS program for a year in India..I was wondering whether anyone has had my experience already and could possibly give me some information on how do things go usually.. I can't seem to find anything on the internet, and since it's India, and not USA i'm going to, i have no idea what to expect >.<

^^ well i didn't go to India but I did go to Japan for a year. I loved it so much, I actually stayed for another year. It's a great experience no matter where you go. Seeing another culture and immersing yourself in it. The festivals were amazing and the people were very friendly (especially my first few weeks when all I could speak was choppy japanese). I was so nervous the night before I left, but I just told myself, this is the chance of a lifetime. Whatever happens, happens. So go for it and have fun!

Try looking through the discussions on cultures-shocked.org. Or perhaps AFS can supply the contact info for someone who has gone there. Good luck!!
