Smoking is usually strictly forbidden in german schools. (You are not allowed to buy cigarettes or smoke them in germany if you are younger than 18. Not just in schools.)

Watched about a million vids last year helping my daughter move in to college, and I agree- all the videos recommend different things. There’s a ton of storage and cleaning items I pre-bought to help her out. We went grocery shopping once we got there, and I made sure she had a shoe box full of medicines as well as extra fem supplies. Because we were not sure everything she would need (especially decor items)- she could have waited until after moving in to pick up things a little at a time. I was stressed b/c she doesn’t have a car. So I was afraid she would not be able to get off campus to get what she needed, so I over bought on a lot of items. If you have a car, then there’s quite a few things you can wait on. Biggest is the medicines, cleaning supplies and mattress topper+ bedding for your bed. Nearly everything else you can buy after at Walmart, Target, or Amazon as you need it. Bring the items you use every day as far as toiletries goes. Also laundry cleaning supplies. You won’t need nearly half the clothing and shoes you think you do. Even if you’re rushing. Leave all your winter stuff at home and come back for the holidays and pick them up then. Most places it’s still pretty warm fall semester. My daughter grabbed her winter stuff at Halloween. Get your own snacks after you get there. You will feel more comfortable with familiar foods, clothing, and bedding around you. Also photos! Print them out. You will get home sick at some point. Don’t bring even ten percent of your high school items. In fact wearing any high school items on college campus is “un cool”. Upgrade yourself clothing wise to college tshirts and hoodies. Also! Start taking Vit C before you head off to campus. And after you get there take them every day. Have Lysol spray and wipes on hand cause you WILL get sick. Have your cold meds, Tylenol, and cough drops also. Regular routine, plenty of water, good sleep, and not eating crap- and you will feel a LOT better all the time. Take care of yourself. ❤

very interesting :!

I hope you make more videos. I was enjoying reliving my freshman year at Clemson through your vids. Hope you are having fun!

Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪 but little question why do High School students carry a heavy bagpack 😅 ? Your black bagpack seems more like a hiking bag, must be tiring for your back to carry that everyday at school 😅

do u like talk english in the school

Hi can i get your instagram id❤

Be sure to learn the german word for "like" or you won't be able to speak. "Like" is as nasty as "so".

We do have a lunch room at my school, but that's mostly for the younger ones, the older ones (9th grade or higher) are allowed to go home in the lunch break, so most people just leave school to eat something at home

omg i need therapy. this topic is yeah

Why have a few adults changing rooms between classes, when you can have 200 kids chaotically running through the corridors to change class rooms? Someone in America gives a lot of thought to how things should be done ✔️ no wonder they have foot pound and freedom to measure everything.

7:40 Fleisch actually means both meat and flesh. We don't have different words for the two in German...

I am German and in our school we have a 10 min break between 1./2. class and between 5./6. We have a 20 min break between 2./3. and 4./5. We also have 1h lunchbreak time and we still end up at 4 pm when we have a long school day

just committed today! i’m so excited

One of the criteria to german tests is reliability. Multiple-choice-tests with low amount of answers have very bad reliability as a randomly answered test will produce a certain amount of correct answers on average. Therefore they tend to be avoided.

Binders are like $5 where I live ($3 in usd)

Your hair is really pretty

No regrats. Feeling healthy is the most important.

I see this video is two years old. I hope you've had a lot of good times since you made it, Caroline. It was brave thing to be a foreign exchange student, brave of you to make the necessary decision to come home and brave to make this video. COVID was hard on us all because it really shut down our social lives. It sounds like you didn't know much German when you got there. That would have been tough. I wish you had changed families, whether you ended up coming home early or not. I made friends with a German foreign exchange student here in America many years ago. She changed families part way through the year because she was so unhappy with her first family. Her second family was much better and she was very happy with them. As I'm sure you've learned, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You, a teenager, did the best you could under difficult circumstances. None of us is perfect or ever will be on Earth. I admire your strength! Remember, you're never alone. May I suggest that you lean on the everlasting arms of Jesus, the Son of God. Much happiness to you now and in the future! You have what it takes!

Seems to me that doing an exchange program during your high school years is a harder time to do it than while you're in college when you've had more experiences, had more growing up under your belt and might be better equipped to deal with the challenges. Add Covid to the mix, and the headwinds can become overwhelming. But hindsight is 20/20. Best wishes.

Love Elianna nose ring.

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Seems like you gave it a decent shot, but with all the COVID related negatives and your difficulty with the language, it's clear that coming home was your best option at that time! Welcome Home!

Where is your new video? It's been 5 months.

Global feminism. Lol, what a joke. Woke classes leaving students with tons of debt yet unemployable.

I am on exchange at the moment too. I have always had a weird relationship with food where I would minorly restrict and I have been quite skinny my entire life. I am used to be outside more often as I am from Australia and it was easy to keep myself busy as my friends were only a street away. But now here on exchange in Denmark I am finding myself only thinking about food. I have been here for nearly 2 months and its a great experience but I cannot help but feel so lost. The weather is so grey, cold, and wet. No one asks me to hangout. I do not know the language. So the only thing I find myself thinking about is food. First it just began with me eating a bit more than I usually did, but then it turned into binging, every afternoon. I have already gained 10 pounds just in the last month. I feel so disgusted with myself. But it is so hard to eat how I used to because the food here is so different. There is almost no fruit in the supermarkets. I just finished a binge. I keep thinking to myself that people will like me here more once I lose weight that I lose focus of being a nice, interesting person towards them because my mind is consumed with the thought of food and my body 24/7. I am getting a membership to the gym next week so I am hoping that will keep me busy. I just want to rid this disorder from my identity. It is taking over my exchange. If you have any sort of tips specific to the emotions of being an exchange student please reply. I just want to get better.

Caroline, I would really like to connect with you.

I saw it on class and it was very interesting, mostly about clothes and the timetables, overall a good video

i watched the video in my inglish lesson, the different schedule is very interesting!!

hi, yesterday I saw your video and I liked the way you explained it because I would have done it that way. have a nice day👋

The other day I watched your video and I found it very interesting. I'd like to go on exchange to another country one day!

A few days ago I saw your video and I found it quite interesting because of the culture and how it changes between each country.

i look this video in my english class, you are funny, this video its informative and interesting

i look this video in my english class and its very informative

What a great experience! The fact that you uploaded this video could be helpful to people who are also going on an exchange to Germany. I could also notice that german schools are very similar to those in my country, Argentina. Greetings!😁

We watched the video in my English class from Argentina🇦🇷 and I could understand everything very well. The school here is also very similar to the one in Germany. I really liked the video. I will probably continue watching more❤️‍🩹.

Germany schools are so interesting, great video!!

Wow! I didn't know that tings about german schools. They are very similar to argentinian schools. Good video 😊

Your video was realy useful and I loved it 😊💖✨️

Germán school it's similar than my argentinian school, amazing video! ❤

We really enjoyed your video ;)

Very good video, it's interesting!!

i have to talk to my parents abt being a hostfamily. Because guys I swear life with me would be so fucking exciting. I’m a 16 year old girl and I live in one of the biggest cities in germany and my English is not that well but i can talk abt everything with someone yk. My sister moved out and we have a room free but my parents would never allow that someone lives here for like a couple of months. But I hope one day they will. I could show her how life as a teenager in germany is , she would go on the best housepartys she ever went, i would show her my City , she would have so many friends and it WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT be boring. Oh man I don’t even know how to become a hostfamily

same in most african schools the teacher moves around instead of u same with the cafetiria for the classes i think thy do that so u dont skip classes and u have no excuse to be out of class

how come you can drive?

Amazing video! Thank you for all the effort and research and editing out into this 🤍

Wie süß du tschüss gesagt hast 🥹

But you stay in the same class all day so you dont change classes.

I'm proud of you for making this correct decision! It has been 2 years now, but just in case that (I don't know that it did, just if) something illegal happened to you in your host family, it is important to report it to authorities and police, even after 2 years it might not be too late. Even if nothing comes of it.

Hello Caroline, a German here. I can fully understand you. I won much weight and lost my favorite sports swimming. Swimming hall was shut down for months. Either I cried or was in candy shops. My belly grown a lot. Mental health decreased more and more. You came in hard times to Germany. The shutdowns were wrong by government and German Supreme Court was close to do a sentence against lock down. I wish you the best.

Hello Caroline, room change or not depends on state and school. Sports, Physics, Biology and Chemistry should be taught in such rooms, because there is stored needed equipment. Maths, Religion, German,English and so one can be taught in one class room. Cafeterias are organized by either by school / teachers or pupils or a club. Some states do not want junk food, they want a cafeteria with healthy food and they have laws for that.
