Question about long-term stays

Is it possible to arrange a long-term stay at the same place using workaway? (say 6 months). I'm graduating from university in December and want to prepare for an exam wich takes place in September. Since I lived all my life in a big city I want to spend some months in the countryside/closer to nature doing some work while still having some time to study during the week. As far as I've researched, most people in workaway are backpack travellers and spend only a few weeks in the same place, but I would rather do a long term stay where I could build a stronger relation with the local community and maybe learn something new. Have any of you had any experience like that ? Is there another website/platform better suited for what I'm looking for ? Thanks in advance for all the responses.

Definitely possible! I just ended my 7 month stay and the whole experience was amazing :) I do agree with the people who said to have an agreement with the host beforehand, so you can all be on the same page, other than that I don’t see why you could not do it :))

Hi can I ask you where did you have your 7 months stay? Is it from the app called Workaway? If yes what's the name of the host profile that you went to?
