The National Student Exchange
Travel Opportunities for your Student
When most people think of exchange, they think of crossing oceans and international borders which are thousands of miles from home. These global living and learning opportunities are encouraged by colleges and universities throughout the country. Sometimes, however, thinking globally may begin a bit closer to home through the National Student Exchange (NSE).
The National Student Exchange was founded as a parallel to study abroad programs, recognizing that often language, cost, and program compatibility make studying in the United States and Canada more practical and beneficial for some students than studying abroad.
NSE is a consortium of nearly 200 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada that has provided tuition-reciprocal exchange opportunities to more than 90,000 undergraduate students since its founding in 1968. With its diverse group of member institutions, students should be able to find a university with just the right combination of courses, facilities, and environment to meet their academic and personal needs and interests. Participating in NSE can be exhilarating, culturally enriching, and one of the most significant experiences of a student's undergraduate education.
Below are some common questions parents and family members often have:
- Why would a student want to exchange within the United States or Canada?
- What is the impact of NSE participation?
- What is my role in the exchange process?
- How does the program work?
- What is expected of exchange students before, during, and after exchange?
- How can I obtain additional information?
These and other general questions can be answered by visiting the National Student Exchange Web site at: http://www.nse.org/family.asp#how
