[Joy Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exchange Students includes 22 stories; they are imaginative and in different moods and settings. I enjoyed them all because they're well written, but I liked some more--a lot more--in some cases, of course. It's an anthology, after all. I won't list the ones I didn't care for--since that's a matter of taste; but here are my favorites (in story order): A Coral Study; Interplanetary Relations; My Book Report on Starlight; Flunk, Juggle, and Frog; Claudius; An Averted Tragedy; and Student Database Notes 3/25 -- 6/27. The last one is my favorite--and another reader's favorite too.

A great collection of short stories imagining exchange students in all kinds of science fictional and fantastic situations. There are time-traveling exchange students, exchange students who travel to different worlds, superhero exchange students, an exchange between heaven and hell. This is a fun anthology.

[Dan Fitzimons · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are some really good stories in this diverse, mostly science fiction, anthology. The premise here is it's about students going to different places to learn. And the places here are really different--different dimensions, different universes. Like most anthologies, some stories are better than others, but this is an enjoyable adventure.

Fun short stories about student life in many genres.
