[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP from 8/23 - the AP is more important with the agency.  We were signed up with two agencies (CC and APC) when we were searching and ultimately matched with an AP from APC - had nothing to do with the agency.

There are slight differences, but in a big picture sense the agencies are pretty similar.  Just read your contract well - they all have large program fees and don’t expect a big refund (or any refund) if you leave the program early.  And remember who you are dealing with - AP agencies are companies that want to make money off of you - sometimes they can be helpful, but take what they say with a grain of salt.

In my experience, I found matching with CC more high pressure and stressful.  The main draw for me to CC was the huge selection of AP candidates from all different countries.  The down-side to that is I think they also have tons of host families, so matching could be very fast (which I didn’t like) and I felt that some of the APs were “perks shopping” (which probably happens everywhere to some extent).
