Are there exchange students from argentina?
Are there exchange students from argentina?
I live in the USA, and I have a friend who lives in argentina. He's interested in coming to the US, similar to an exchange student. However as far as he knows, no such programs exist fot argentina. If hes right, are there any equivalent programs in argentina? We're still fairly clueless about this whole thing, and appreciate detailed explanations.

Very few but there may be an opportunity via his local Rotary Club. Check in the local press and then contact the President of the Club.

If I may, I would like to suggest that your friend look into Youth For Understanding (YFU). My Spanish is VERY rusty, but I think this is the page for him to look at: http://www.yfu.org.ar/es/template.asp?Sec=estudiar_exterior&File=paises/america_norte/estados_unidos.html. Your friend can even request to live with you - IF your family meets the requirements for hosting AND your school accepts him. YFU is one of the oldest (we're coming up on our 60th anniversary), largest (over 275,000 students have traveled with YFU), and more respected (the founder was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize) exchange programs around. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them.
