A student exchange program is a program in which a student, typically in secondary education chooses to live in a foreign country to learn, among other things, language and culture. These programs are called 'exchanges' because different countries participating in the program will trade off students in this fashion. The students live with a host family, who are usually unpaid volunteers and often have a child the same age who has also participated (or is going to participate) in a similar exchange programme. Host families are usually vetted by the organisation co-ordinating the programme.
Student exchanges became popular after World War II, and have the aim of helping to increase the participants' understanding and tolerance of the other cultures, as well as improving their language skills and broadening their social horizons.
An exchange student typically stays in the host country for a relatively short period of time, in contrast to international students or those on study abroad programmes.
