How VR Intercâmbios get paid
Free for students
VR Intercâmbios does not charge students a placement fee. Like most education agents, it is paid a commission by the universities it places students into. That does not make its advice bad — but the agent is paid by the institution, not by you, so it has more financial reason to recommend a partner university than a non-partner one. Ask which universities it represents, and whether your shortlist is on that list.

Used VR Intercâmbios for my undergraduate application to UK. The process was straightforward once we got started — the counsellor set expectations clearly and was honest when something was uncertain rather than guessing. There was one administrative mix-up with a document that caused a brief delay, but it was resolved within a day. I secured admission to two universities and chose the better fit. Overall positive.
