About Me

My name is Lauren and I am originally from Myrtle Beach, SC. My home school is the University of South Carolina, and my host school is the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. I will be on exchange for the fall and spring semesters of the 2021-2022 school year. I am a Biological Sciences major with a minor in Spanish.

What is NSE and why did I choose this program?

The National Student Exchange program is a way for students to explore different institutions across the country based on their educational wants and needs. I was attracted towards this program because I could remain on track to graduate early (in May 2022) and explore a campus with different opportunities than my home campus. This program is readily available to students at many universities across the country, and it allows them to discover new ways of life while studying away.
