My youngest son has decided he want to be a foreign exchange student next year, his sophomore year. He turns 15 in July and has been accepted to attend school for the entire year somewhere in Holland. We are excited and scared about this. The wife goes from laughing to crying about missing her baby boy. I think this will be the chance of a lifetime and wish the world for him. He is scheduled to leave around the 21st of August so we have lots of time to prepare. Everyone we have talked to that has been to the Netherlands has nothing but good things to say about it. I have been all over Google and Wikipedia absorbing as much about the place as I can.
Any of you been there or have any experience with sending a child overseas for such a thing as this?
