Yes. University students have found fun, excitement and adventure in academia through this program, which provides a chance to work toward a degree while studying at one of 48 col leges and universities throughout the country. Tuition for attending one of the host schools runs about the same as tuition at the Universi ty, Wade says. Since its inception 17 years ago, the national program has facilitated the exchange of more than 14,500 students around the states, stretching from the University of Hawaii at Manoa to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Other schools in the arrange ment include universities in Maine, Delaware, Alabama, Minnesota, and Illinois. This academic year 77 students have gone from the University to other schools and 86 have come here.

Janet Burnett, who is on ex change at the University from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, says of NSE, “It’s a good opportunity to see dif -. I ferent things if you need a change.” Burnett’s first choice was Oregon because she wanted to see the West Coast and the Nor thwest. “Oregon has a lot to of fer.” the junior finance major says. Comparing Oregon to Massachusetts, Burnett says the lifestyle on the East Coast is faster paced; the weather is col der and more crisp, and the autumns are beautiful. Catalogs, brochures and addi tional information about the 48 schools in the NSE program are available at the Office of Academic Advising and Stu dent Services. Room 164 Oregon Hall. To be considered for ex change from this school, students must be Oregon residents, maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.5, and be of freshman or sophomore standing when they apply.
