• Experience a different culture

What does it mean to be an exchange student?

• The key part of being an exchange student is that you are still enrolled here at Mae Fah Luang University (MFU). You pay your normal MFU tuition fees and best of all, you do not pay tuition fees at the partner university! If you are eligible for a student loan/allowance here at MFU, you will continue to be eligible while on exchange. You are responsible for all of your own living expenses although scholarships may be available to help with costs. You will be graduating with a MFU degree, not with a degree from the partner university.
