I chose to do National Student Exchange because I have always loved to travel and explore. ... It has been such an amazing experience. I have been able to see so many new things, learn a lot about the culture and gain lots of independence.

I did National Student Exchange because I wanted to experience something new outside of the Midwest area. I also wanted to meet new people, have different experiences and try something I haven't done before! Finding out about National Student Exchange and traveling to Montana was one of the best experiences I have had during my time at college so far!
