Have you ever hosted two foreign exchange students at the same time?
I am considering hosting a student from Hong Kong and another from Brazil. I am just wondering if having two will be a good thing or a mistake. Do they usually get along well being from different countries? They will be sharing a room.

should be ok - as they face similar challenges in a foreign country, but as they are from different cultures and have to share a room it might be best if they are the same sex... (two girls or two boys)

Pleasee Help. about International Student?
Hello, I am enrolling in a college in UK for University Foundation Programme. I am going there from Hong Kong by student visa. My parents can fund my studies and everything while I'm there. Please tell me if I still need a sponser? I have to apply to the british consulate and I have no idea if I need to present them my sponser and so on. The question is: Do I still need a sponser even though I can fund my studies , accomodation and so on.... I already have the documents from the college, the acceptance letter, invoice and so on. I am just confused about the sponsership.

No, you should not need a sponsor, sponsor is only if you need financial need from others and also apply to foreign exchange student.
2 :
For a student visa, you need documents showing you have been accepted by a school/university, and proof of sufficient funds to cover all of your school expenses, living expenses and transportation home. Your parents are providing for these expenses, so you should be fine. Sponsors are for immigration. Since student visas are not an immigration-class visa, only temporary, you do not need a sponsor.
3 :
A sponsor is anyone who is providing financial support. Your parents are your sponsor, simply bring their bank statements which show that they have the funds available to pay for your tuition and living expensive, along with an affidavit of support, which is just a signed letter by them, stating that this money is available to you.

If you are paying your own way, study anywhere you like. if your parents are paying the bill, try going to a local community college. In case you havent heard, the global economy is down. And your parents may need all their extra cash.
2 :
Both are very expensive cities to live in so I hope you have taken that into consideration. Of the two though, I would recommend Hong Kong. I'll admit, I have a personal bias. Hong Kong is seriously one of my favorite cities in the world. I never lived there though, but I have visited four times over the past couple years. a) The food is amazing. If you have never had it, go to your nearest dim sum restaurant tonight. However good it is, the dim sum in Hong Kong will definitely be better and cheaper. b) There is a strong expat community. A lot of business professionals have made Hong Kong home. It is easy to make friends and share the experience of living abroad together. c) I don't know what university you are looking into, but many of the universities in Hong Kong are rated as some of the best in Asia. These schools also have strong International business programs if that is something that interests you. d) The nightlife is awesome, but expensive. Expect to pay $8+ a drink. That's about all I can share. Good luck and if you are looking for some study abroad programs in Hong Kong, check out this site: www.go-study-abroad.com Cheers, Andrew

How different is the lifestyle in Hong Kong compared to Guangzhou?
How different is the lifestyle in Hong Kong compared to Guangzhou?
Hi there, I'm an American Chinese, born in California and been living here all my life. I'm 22, and just graduated from college. I wanted to study abroad in China but never had an opportune time when I was in school. I am now seriously considering teaching English in China so that I can experience the place that a part of my family grew up in, and to become more worldly. At the same time, I'm seeking adventure and self discovery, not to mention a way to pay off my student loans. So I was wondering for those of you who have been to Hong Kong and Guangzhou, what kind of feel do these cities have? Are there many expatriates in both places? How is the nightlife in each? Where can I improve my cantonese speaking abilities best at? Is it much more affordable for a single apartment in Guangzhou? Any information that you can provide about living in these two cities would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hong Kong is splendid, but frighteningly expensive. You'll have a great time in Hong Kong and leave without a penney to your name. If you teach in Guangzhou then you may be paid less, but can save lots more.
2 :
HK is 5 times cooler... because richer...
3 :
I live in Guangzhou now. I also am teaching English If you want more info contact me through my e-mail on yahoo Q and A. I will be more than happy to give you the info I know. Just so you know... Hong Kong and Guangzhou are completely different.
4 :
Hong Kong and Guangzhou are poles apart... Hong Kong is way more costly... also less opportunities for English teachers... coz its costly will not suit your purpose even if you get a job... coz you want to save money... to repay your loan...
