When I was in high school, my family hosted 2 exchange students (at separate times though). Both were from Germany and both stayed for 1 month. We had two completely different experiences.
The guy who stayed with us was friendly, smart, so happy to have this opportunity, etc. It was a very positive experience for him and for our family.
However, the girl who stayed with us was quite the opposite...she was rude and short-tempered and just all around extremely awkward and judgmental. Even though it was a challenging experience at the time, I think we all learned SO much from it. I don't know how much this post will help but I'd be happy to tell you more if you're interested
