Whoever has ever hosted an exchange student before knows how stressful such a project can be. So, what was it really like to have an Indian in your house?
We asked some of the German parents about their experiences with students of LVIS: “What impressions left the excange project on you or your child?”
Here are some of their answers:
- “Die Welt ist sehr verschieden” (The world is very diverse)
- “Ein bischen anstrengend, aber es war definitv machbar und eine tolle Zeit, die wir nie bereuen werden!” (A little bit exausting, but definitly possible to manage and it was a great time we will never miss)
- “It was a great time because I learnt about India, too. We didn’t have any problems with the exchange partner and we were sad when he left.”
- “The culture of the Indian people is very interesting”
- “It was interesting to host a foreign teenager from India. Everybody was really friendly and open. It was also nice to get in contact with the Indian parents on skype. We also learned a lot about the Indian cuisine and the indian way of life.”
We are curious about your honest feedback. Have you ever hosted a foreign student? What was it like? Tell us your story in the comment section!

Only nice? I think India is a fabulous, great, astonishing, mind blowing and inspiring country! So, just nice? What about a second try? 😉
It was very thankful for the German parents to give shelter and food to Indian students
Nothing to thank here. It is always nice to have guests from India. And needless to say that we try our very best to make our guests happy.
