"The school was huge, many opportunities for a variety of classes and majors; off campus housing was an issue at first but I ended up living right by the ocean which was AWESOME! I enjoyed my year there, it was a nice change of pace."
National Student Exchange
The National Student Exchange (NSE) is a domestic parallel to study abroad and is the only comprehensive, university-level, student exchange program in the United States. It is an inter-institutional study program.
NSE offers a maximum of one year exchange (students can participate in a one-year program or by semester with a maximum of two semesters on exchange).
NSE offers a diverse group of nearly 200 colleges and universities in 48 states, including the District of Columbia, three U.S. territories and six Canadian provinces. Instead of crossing oceans, NSE students cross state, regional, provincial and cultural borders.
For more information, check out the "Student Information" section on the NSE Web site.
