Exchange Tuesday plot twist: Virginia Tech is the destination!

We’re kicking off the year by flipping the script on our study abroad exchange series and celebrating the incredible students who have traveled to Virginia Tech for their exchange experience.

This year, we’re welcoming almost 40 students from 12+ countries across all SIX inhabited continents!

Before jumping into classes and campus life, our exchange students took part in a robust orientation covering safety, wellness, community engagement, and culture. They’re ready to explore, connect, and make the most of their time as Hokies!

We’re so happy they’re here. Welcome to Virginia Tech!

From Blacksburg to Quito.

One decision could take you from campus in Virginia to studying in the heart of Ecuador.

At Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), you'll take classes alongside local and international students, strengthen your Spanish skills (some courses are in English), and experience a country known for its incredible biodiversity, rich history, and welcoming culture.

Whether you're exploring Quito's historic streets, hiking in the Andes, or making lifelong friends from around the world, this exchange is about more than academics. It's about growth, confidence, and unforgettable experiences.

Quick Facts from Henry Fickert, an International Relations student, who just spent his spring semester at USFQ.
• Favorite class: Ecuadorian Culture
• Favorite place I visited: Perú
• Favorite local food: Ceviche Jipijapa
• Most meaningful cultural experience: Homestay
• One thing I wished I knew before: To say yes to everything
• Would you do it again?: I would absolutely do it again, it is a wonderful experience, so much to do and see, and really a great way to get good at Spanish!

Sometimes the best classroom is one you've never seen before 🌍

Ethan Wu, a rising sophomore and finance and accounting major, took his education to Greece through a direct enrollment program, where he combined coursework with cultural immersion and international travel.

From exploring historic landmarks and experiencing local traditions to traveling to destinations like Mykonos, Malta, and Istanbul, Ethan gained independence, adaptability, and a broader global perspective while stepping outside his comfort zone.
