We had a German exchange student stay with us my freshman year of HS. She was a senior, not bad looking just really weird. By the end of the school year she had put on 30+ pounds and was covered in zits thanks to our American diet. Her dad would always send chocolates from her hometown that were filled with all kinds of hard liquor.
All the exchange students I've known have gained weight while here. Our Diet is unlike anyone else in the world I guess. One year our school had 1 from Switzerland, 1 from Venezuela, and 5 from Brasil; they all picked up weight.
You mention foreign exchange student and the first thing that comes to mind is Nadia on American Pie, and I know I'm not the only one lol. Just to give you an idea on the level of maturity to expect.
