"NSE has been the best experience I’ve had in my life so far. I am currently on exchange, and I’m already sad about the thought of coming home. I wish I could do it another year!" NICOLE

"When most people think of an exchange, they think that it is about learning about someplace new. While this is true, it surprised me how much exchange taught me about myself. Everything was different, and in just a short period of time I failed, and I struggled, and then I slowly started to fall in love with the environment around me." AMANDA
