    We have started the process to become a host family for an exchange student. I was wondering how many others out there have taken on this adventure.

    I have been the student. When i was 19, i stayed a month with a Belgian family. It was an experience that affected the rest of my life positively. My parents hosted teens on exchange programs for a few days when i was a kid. That too informed my view of the world in a positive way.

    We have had two exchange students for the summer and it was great. However, make sure you set down ground rules for your home and explain that the toilet paper goes into the toilet not the trashcan.

    Well, on second thought maybe an 18 year old Swedish lingerie model who happens to go to school.
