Do parents REALLY know better? It is my life and my choice, after all? (enrollment disagreements).

There is actually a business called the National College Clearinghouse that checks up on students on behalf of colleges. They make sure students are reporting their previous history honestly. As important as the academic record is the financial: they want to make sure students aren’t stiffing debts owed to one college and moving on to attend another. They do service international institutions, but the coverage is not to the same extent.

So yes, it is a big risk, one that will highly likely come back to bite you, especially between X and Z. Just attend X and do an ordinary semester abroad as soon as you legitimately can work one out with X.

Does the National Education Clearinghouse capture students’ enrollments in schools abroad?

From what I understand, US colleges are the ones reporting to NEC. I’ve never heard that int’l universities do as well. Do they?
