The National Student Exchange (NSE) offers affordable and practical opportunities for students at member campuses to study and live in new locations across the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. NSE participants find the experience culturally enriching, academically rewarding, and often one of the most impactful parts of their undergraduate education. Eastern students can apply their financial aid and scholarships while on exchange, with most options allowing them to pay Eastern's tuition and fees while covering room and board costs directly with the host university.
