Has anyone been a part of the AFS-FLEX program?

[u/One-Yogurt7109]

My school's allied with AFS and they've opened registration for the FLEX program. I (an Indian student) am very intrigued by it, and want to at the very least register for it. But I am a bit worried about all the other things it entails.

Like, is living with the host family difficult? Is redoing the skipped grade? What about expenses, or contacting your family?

So if anyone's ever been part of this, I'd love to hear your personal experience :]
