Who is an "exchange student"?

An exchange student is a student who temporarily studies at a school or university in a foreign country, often as part of a program that allows them to experience a different culture and education system. The exchange usually involves a reciprocal arrangement where a student from the foreign country also comes to study in the student's home country. Exchange students live with host families or in student accommodations, and they participate in regular school activities while adapting to the new environment. This experience often helps expand their global perspective and language skills.

Examples
