Testimonial
My exchange at UPR Mayaguez through NSE has been the most incredible, transformative experience of college—no, my life. I made close friends, improved my Spanish significantly, learned how to dance salsa and bomba, visited beautiful places, embraced a different culture/lifestyle, and learned a lot about myself and who I want to be.
Because of this experience, I am a better version of myself, and I have a new home that will always welcome me back. I am forever grateful that NSE allowed me to spend two semesters in practically another country without a financial burden.”
