Q: Can I choose what city or state I live in?

A: NWSE cannot guarantee your placement in a specific city or state. We send out your application information to our Academic Coordinator network and match you with a family or exchange partner who we feel would be the best match for you. If you can suggest a potentially acceptable host family in the region in which you wish to study, then we may consider your request as a "Sponsored Placement", and you may enjoy substantial reductions in our program fees (if the host family and school meet all qualifications).
