[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ability of the kid to be VERY independent is a big criterion. Selection committee is looking for mature students who are unlikely to get homesick and can handle themselves on public transport without being fluent. Not for everyone. Snowflakes should not apply. There is very little handholding. Unfortunately, multiple contractors operate in the most popular countries (Korea, Taiwan). You have no control over what contractor you get. My kid had an absolutely amazing experience and people with that contractor in Korea also loved it. But other contractors not nearly as good. Some didn’t have home placements and were in dorms. It is luck of the draw. [/quote] Can you clarify what getting assigned to a contractor means? How does this differ from the typical home placement?[/quote]
