Today we put together all the statistics. We made three graphs; one is about the most popular countries to go to as an exchange student (the United States), the next one is about the amount of girl compared to boys that choose to be exchange students (60 % are girls, 40 % are boys), and the last one is asked to previous exchange students if they would like to go back to the country after the year has passed.

For the first graph it was easy to find information; we got it from most of the interviews that we had with the organizations, and we also made some research on the internet. For the second graph it was pretty much the same. But it was a little bit harder for the third one, because statically we did not ask enough people; but we still think the answers would be the same if we could have asked more people. Something that really makes us happy is that most of the students we asked said that they didn’t only want to go back to visit the host family and their friends, but that they were actually thinking about moving there and start to study at the university!

So it would be wrong to say that the statistics are 100 % correct, but they are still correct enough to get the bigger picture of reality.

Today we continued with what we were doing last time; trying to find scholarships that are supporting exchange students. We haven’t found as many as we hoped for, but here comes the last ones. “Axel och Sofia Alms stiftelse”; they g...

Back in Sweden! Today we started to look into what different options you have if you want to apply for a scholarship. This wasn’t as easy as we had thought; most of them have some kind of restriction or demand that you don’t achieve throu...

This is officially the last updating for 2011! And therefore we will not write anything significant, just that in a few hours we are going to London to spend New Years Eve there. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!   ...
