How old do I have to be to study overseas?

Some schools will accept students as young as 7 years old for special summer and winter study programs. However the parents of these students must give legal guardianship to a citizen of the country in which the student is visiting. Most schools who offer these programs have arrangements with the homestay family to act as the student's legal guardian. If the student is 18 years or older no legal guardianship is needed.
