Do I get to choose my country?

A very popular question. And the answer is, ... yes and no.  Your sponsoring Rotary district exchanges with those Rotary districts that they know run top-quality programs.  There are a limited number of exchanges available with each Rotary district.  As part of the application process, you will be asked to provide regions of the world, or perhaps countries, with which you have the most interest.  The vast majority of students will get one of their top choices. But remember, flexibility is a vital characteristic for a successful exchange student, and that starts right at the beginning.
