- No Drinking
The legal drinking
age in District 5300 is 21 years of age. Rotary
Youth Exchange students are not allowed to drink
alcoholic beverages of any type.
- No Driving.
No driving motor vehicles of any kind. The
driving rule is not negotiable due to insurance
restrictions.
- No Serious Dating
The dating rule is designed so
that students feel free to mix with and make friends
with a wide range of Americans. Steady dating
between a student and another individual is not
accepted for a variety of reasons, as spending too
much time with one person to the exclusion of the
broad aspects of the Youth Exchange Program, forming
attachments, which are broken off at the end of the
exchange, etc. Group activities are encouraged.
- No Drugs
(except for valid medical reasons) The
drug rule is not negotiable and covers all drugs
both hard and soft and temptations should not be
given in to. The possession or consumption of
illicit drugs is a breach of the laws of the United
States and are strictly prohibited under the
program. Students must not use: cultivated,
manufactured or any legal drugs (including “party
pills”) or prohibited or restricted substances
unless prescribed by a medical doctor or dentist.
Note: Any student breaking this rule will be immediately
returned to their home country.

Internet

family’s computer. The amount of time a student
should spend on the computer per day should be
discussed on the first night. Common sense needs to
be exercised in the use of any access to the
Internet.
- No Body Decorations.
Students are not allowed to
tattoo or pierce any part of their bodies, including

 Studying abroad was one of the best things I could’ve done. Not only
did I learn a new language and culture, I discovered more about myself.
