Kristen Miller, English Education Semester studied: Fall 2008
Host Campus:University of Memphis
This photo is of my roommate Kristen (also an NSE student)and I at the Memphis Zoo. The University of Memphis is great; the people here are very friendly and the weather is beautiful. My professors are working artists who have made a name for themselves nationally and internationally. I have had nothing but good experiences so far in Memphis; I am taking advantage of my location and trying to do as many things as possible in my free time. Kristen and I recently traveled to Atlanta and I am hoping to do a bit more traveling around the south while I am here. Memphis is a great place, I'm glad I got the chance to have this NSE experience.

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.
Why students participate in NSE?
- Exposure to diverse cultural settings
- Experiencing personal growth and intellectual discovery
- Maintaining degree progress through transfer of credits back to Plymouth State University
- Expanding academic program options in the major
- Enrolling in an internship experience
- Paying PSU's tuition and host campus's room/board and meals
- Taking honors courses at host campus
- Expanding PSU's study abroad options through member school international programs
- Seeking out graduate and professional schools, and exploring career options
- Using NSE as a doorway to PSU's study abroad options
