A student exchange program gives one an opportunity to go abroad and study in the universities which one desired to and couldn’t apply through normal course. Even if it is just for a semester, it forms lifelong memories and gives one experiences to cherish. A few may view it just as “a vacation” but it is much more than that and that is the reason why it forms an integral part of one’s MBA.
