TO THE EVALUATOR:
The National Student Exchange (NSE) provides students with the opportunity to attend another
university within the United States, its territories, and Canada for up to one year. Students participate in
NSE to take advantage of the unique geographic, cultural, and academic characteristics of the institution
and region.
In making decisions on the appropriateness of a student's participation in the exchange, we need to
know about their motivation, adaptability, academic skills, and those personal qualities that will give
students the ability to benefit fully from the exchange experience. While we will appreciate any
observations that will assist us in evaluating the present applicant, of special interest are qualities such
as competence, independence, assertiveness, resourcefulness, quality of performance, confidence,
social skills, open-mindedness, and integrity.
