The “or” in the question leads some people to think that you MUST choose one side or the other, but in fact you can 100% agree, 100% disagree or partially agree, as long as you are on topic. 
Position:
Brainstorm for ideas – aim for at least one well-developed idea for each paragraph.
Paragraph 1 central idea
International exchanges are not just travel but educational for students.
Paragraph 2 central idea

Brainstorm for support for your ideas. Support can be an example, further explanation, a definition, or any statement explaining why or how your main idea is true.
Support: Students learn a variety of necessary skills while navigating daily life in a new country. 
Writing 
Introduction
Start by rephrasing the prompt. Make sure you include all the sides of the topic that the prompt addresses. 
State your position. If you partially agree you can use a “while” statement: While it is true students can learn a good deal about another culture on these trips,
I believe that on the whole this is a negative trend as they are little more than extended vacations. 
Your introduction should be 3 or 4 sentences. Do not waste time getting into details in the introduction – save these for your body paragraphs.
Example introduction:
In our increasingly global world, great attention is being paid to students’ ability to interact with other cultures and be intercultural aware.
This has brought about a trend in international exchange programs for students where students from one country spend a period in another country studying.
I believe that these exchange programs are wonderful growth opportunities for students and should be encouraged fully.
