My family hosted a student in my grade and we went to high school together. The exchange program did her so dirty. She was told students got placed in cities and thought she would be where she would be able to go into NYC on the weekends. She ended up on our farm, an hour and a half from what could only be called a small city if being generous, at least two flights from NYC, and eight hours by car to an actual large city.
I studied abroad for a semester in college and moved out of my host family’s and into my own apartment quickly for many reasons.
Yes, to both ends.
