The National Student Exchange provides full-time undergraduates with the opportunity to study for a semester or a year at one of 160 colleges and universities located throughout the Continental United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. Tuition costs for exchange students are reasonable since participants pay either UH Manoa tuition or resident tuition at the host school. Room, board, and transportation costs are additional. For those who meet the eligibility requirements (including a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5), exchange is an excellent way to explore different academic, social, and cultural settings.
