7!!!Tropes appearing in ''the Exchange''
8* ArtisticLicense - Exchange programs: It's unlikely such a long-distance exchange would take place, and ''very'' unlikely the Rudge Park glee club would be flown over for a competition.
9* BlatantLies: Jay, naturally. He gets called on his more than usual.
10* CrossoverShip: Simon and Santana, Neil and Brittany.
11* GoKartingWithBowser: Will and [[TheBully Donovan]] join Rachel's glee club together. This doesn't thaw their hatred for each other.
12* OddFriendship: Kurt and Jay.
13* RedOniBlueOni: Jay spends most of the story being as much as a pest as usual, caring less about embracing another culture than getting laid. Simon is laid back, makes friends and enjoys Lima.

16* EagleLand: Simon sees the Midwest as a type 1.
17* EmancipatedChild: How the Inbetweeners got to move to America alone. Mostly runs on [[ArtisticLicense - Law]].
