I don't know how it's in the USA, but here in the Netherlands you have to pay like 7k (euros). The things that aren't inclusive are:
Visa, pocket money, school trip, insurance, school uniform & money to sign up for the exchange(and probably some other things...)
But if you go with AFS, it's a bit cheaper, the exchange is 11 months & the things not inclusive are: pocket money, school uniform & visum
There is one more difference between YFU & AFS, one starts in January (YFU), the other in August (AFS)..
I want to go on an exchange too, I already have a job, but I'm not sure if I'm going to make it... My aunt & uncle already said they would sponsor me (5k)
but my parents want me to go
