Studying as an Exchange Student at NYU
About an Exchange Student Program
What is an Exchange Student Program?
Exchange Student Program is little different from studying abroad.
If you just study overseas, that's studying abroad.
Exchange Student Program is more specific than studying abroad.
Your school and your partner's school had an agreement to 'exchange' their students to provide an opportunity to study abroad.
Tuition and Expenses?
You don't have to pay tuition for your partner school, and you can also transfer credits back to home university after studying at exchange school.
So I didn't pay NYU tuition, which is 6 times more expensive than our tuition!! HAHA
But still, I had to pay for housing, food, health insurance, and all the other stuffs exepct for tuition.
Some students get government or private scholarship, but it's not a case for all students.
How Long?
Exchange Students usually study one or two semesters at their partner's school.
It depends on people how long they want to study there.
As I'm in mechanical engeering, I had to go back and study core courses, so I just stayed for a semester.
But Some of my friends stayed one year.
