Student Exchanges

The Colleges have official exchange agreements with the following institutions:

  1. Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia (Fall or Spring)
  2. Tokyo Woman's Christian University, Tokyo, Japan (for William Smith students only) (Full Year or Spring)
  3. The University of Tuebingen, Tuebingen, Germany (Fall, Spring or Full Year)
  4. Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea (Fall, Spring or Full Year)

Please note the following characteristics of all the exchanges:

ACCOMMODATIONS
 Students will be assisted with housing at the partner school. Options usually include university dormitory space at modest prices, homestay possibilities, and private apartments.

ELIGIBILITY
 Because the number of spaces on exchanges are very limited (usually no more that two or three per term) applicants should have a solid GPA -- 3.0 or above and a strong personal statement that outlines clearly why participation in the exchange would help to fulfill academic and personal goals.

APPROXIMATE COSTS
 On all exchanges participants pay their normal tuition here at HWS and no tuition at the exchange school. Living costs are the responsibility of the student, but financial aid can be applied toward these costs in the same way as it is at home. Additional expenses include airfare, personal travel, entertainment, books, etc.
