Apply for National Student Exchange

Do something different next year! Exchange to another school in the US, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands for a summer, semester, or year. There are over 170 campuses to choose from. Where do you want to go?

Someplace warm? We have schools in Hawaii, Guam, US Virgin Islands, and the southern U.S.
Mountains? We have schools in Alaska, Montana, Colorado, and Utah.
More diversity? There are HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and HSIs (Hispanic/Latino Serving Institutions) and other more multicultural campuses.
Bigger cities? We have schools in NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, and LA.

NSE is AFFORDABLE! Either you'll pay U of M tuition while on exchange OR you'll pay in-state tuition to your host campus (which is oftentimes cheaper than U of M tuition). AND your U of M financial aid (grants, loans, most scholarships) will follow you on exchange. PLUS we'll make sure your credits all transfer back to the U of M, so you'll stay on track to graduate.

The priority application deadline for the 2018/2019 school year is FEBRUARY 21, 2018. Feel free to ask for an extension. Many schools are very flexible with their deadline.
