Where is the best place to go on exchange?
I am an Australian high school student wanting to go on exchange but I can't decide whether to got to France/ french speaking Belgium or Canada, obviously I want to improve my French but I would only be going for a short time in Nov/Dec/Jan. I have already been to France and that is why I would really like to go to Canada but which one will benefit me the most?

I would recommend you the french speaking part of Canada (Quebec), you can improve your french there and also know another country, also Canadians are really nice people with foreign people and there are plenty of places to visit.

i would say france or switzerland. in france though, the school days are muchhh longer. I am an american, and i have met a lot of foreign exchange students who dont like the U.S. because the parents are much stricter and people arent as willing to invite you places as they are in other countries. good luck :) -Erin, 15

Yes you can - this should help you http://kcl.ac.uk/about/structure/admin/acareg/studentservices/intstudents/travelling.html

The link placed in the first answer actually does give the correct info, but you have to read it all the way and not just the first paragraph "•If you are from outside the EU then you may need a visa to travel to certain countries, even for a short holiday. For further information about obtaining a Schengen Visa for travelling in Europe" So to give more info, then basically actually your student visa from the UK makes no impact on your immigration status to countries like Denmark, NL, Belgium etc because they are part of the Schengen zone and the UK is not. Therefore you will need a visa depending on your nationality You can check this here http://www.klm.com/travel/ch_en/travel_information/travel_planning/travel_clinic/visaform.htm If you check the homepage of your University then chances are they will have a section on International Students and it will confirm what I am saying (every uni I have seen so far in the UK that accepts foreign students does have it) As you are legally resident in the UK then you can apply for the (Schengen) visa at the embassy in the UK (usually of the country for which you will spend the most time in the Schengen zone). The max time for a Schengen visa (which is tourist only) is 90 days out of 180 days

Many nationalities do not require a visa for visiting the Schengen Area if you don't stay more than 90 days. Otherwise you'll need a Schengen Area visa. UK visa is NOT a Schengen visa

It sounds great however where it says "I do Budou since I'm 13 years old", I would change that to "I've done Budou since I was 13 years old"
2 :
THis is an excellent resume!
3 :
It is probably too long, especially for someone at your level in life. You do not use pronouns/sentences in resumes. Yo have a lot of these and they all need to be changed. (NO: "I watched...) you use the third person -Really really cut back interests. No one is going to care what books you read or what you watch on the web. Your grammar & word choice is not quite right for english speaking, but your resume is too long to correct. Is there someone where you live who can help you with this?
