Jackie studied away at Oklahoma State University through National Student Exchange during her second year at Iowa State. As an Agricultural Communications major, she recognized the opportunity to add a unique dimension to her degree by completing coursework beyond ISU. We recently caught up with Jackie to reflect on her exchange.
Why Participate in NSE?
"I chose NSE because I desired to take advantage of this opportunity to develop personally and professionally. I also wanted to seek a greater challenge in my educational journey."
Highlights of the NSE experience
"Throughout my NSE experience, I was welcomed into a special community of people within the Ferguson College of Agriculture at Oklahoma State. I felt at home, met my best friends now, had so much fun, and appreciated the freedom of starting a new beginning."
Advice for Future Exchangers
"My #1 piece of advice is to not think about what you may miss out on at your home school. Think about all you will gain at your new school through this opportunity. Embrace the unknown, embrace the challenge, and just do it!"
