Being an exchange student in Germany?

I'm a sophomore girl in high school. I'm considering applying for a scholarship to be an exchange student in Germany next year. I just want to know what it's like living there, adjusting to a new country, learning the language and everything else. Really, anything you could tell me about living there or being an exchange student would be very helpful. Thanks so much! :)

Update:

I'm applying for the Congress-Bundestag (CBYX) scholarship!

    I dont know about germany in particular but after a month or 2 of being there you will get adjusted because you will start to make friends. join clubs and sports while you are there so more people know how you are! You will pick up on the language for sure, don't give up or let the language barrier keep you from learning, some do know english and they will be able to help you. exchange is amazing! good luck!

    somewhat significant is which you purchase a cost tag earlier entering into any mode of transportation and then "devalue" it via punching it interior the little machines on the buses/trams/subways. In Germany you will get out and in as you please devoid of passing any secure practices or perhaps devoid of determining to purchase a cost tag, yet once you get caught you will could pay €40. you could drink faucet water, it somewhat is not any difficulty right here. moreover, you may attempt the beer and of course the unique Budweisser (Budvar) from the Czech Republic which tastes approximately a hundred cases greater suitable than Budweisser from the U.S. additionally, Germans like to journey motorcycles, by using fact it rather is totally secure to journey bycicles right here, even in super cities like Berlin or Münich. they're additionally very sparkling and nicely mannered (even with the incontrovertible fact that as in any u . s . a . interior the international there additionally are idiots). ultimately, now that the Euro has long previous up, probable issues are unlikely to be as inexpensive as say 3 years in the past, yet Germany continues to be lots greater decrease priced than different west eu international places which includes France, Spain or the U.ok. wish this helped. Tschüssi und Viel Spaß!!!!!!!!!
