Looking to explore without falling behind?

With National Student Exchange (NSE), you can study at another college or university in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands all while staying on track to graduate.

Whether you are into big city campuses, beachside universities, or something totally new, NSE gives you access to different courses, internships, field experiences, and even honors or study abroad options. Go for a semester, summer, or full year—whatever fits your schedule.

The best part? You do not pay more to go far. Thanks to tuition reciprocity, you will either pay your home school's tuition or the in-state rate at your host campus.

More than 125,000 students have done it. Will you be next?
