hey yall, it's octane :v dropped off the site for a couple months due to exchange and being busy, but since I'm about to return to america early I figured it would be kind of neat to make this. for a bit of context, I left the states back in july and arrived in Sweden august first, and I'll be leaving again this sunday. so yeehaw, ask away.
Nice to see you back! How has Sweden been?
ask an exchange student
Are you secretly a magical girl?
It was interesting, to say the least lmao. Sorry it took me so long to return to the thread, moving back took a lot outta me. And no, not a magical girl unfortunately lol
this might be dead but imma ask anyways what's it like? as in what it's like being an exchange student?
yeah, did you get to travel around? see a bit of the place you were staying at?
ahh no not dead just kind of took a break lmao. for me it was a bit of a rough ride, a lot of people that went to sweden didn't really enjoy it
and I didn't really get to travel due to my living situation, most of it was company organized "parties" I went to but that was about it
ah, that's fine
what's sweden like?
really really green, though it was warm only for the first month I was there before it was basically perma winter lmao
Hey, um I have a question which is would you reccomend being an exchange student? Like, the general experience, is it worth the money and effort?
honestly? not with the program I went through and not until you're at least 16-18. I was only there for four months and while my experience was relatively garbage due to health and other reasons, some people are/did have a good time, so it's really a matter of how mature you think you are and how much you're willing to spend. wasn't worth it for me, but that doesn't mean it won't go okay for someone else
