student exchanges

Scholarly program swaps

Student exchanges are programs where students temporarily attend schools in foreign countries, often living with host families.

The exchange is typically reciprocal—a German student spends a semester in Ohio while an American student goes to Munich.

The term also covers the students themselves: We're hosting two student exchanges from Japan this year.
