No, actually. ^^ We have the option to do that - our school has 7 "official" campuses around the world - but if you prefer not to do that, you just go to the office in charge of it and tell them. In Paris, for example, you have the option to go to "our" uni campus, but also to the University of Paris and take classes there. If you prefer to go somewhere else, you tell them, and they work out a program with the school you want to go to - anywhere in the world - and get you a discount because you go through the school. And then you attend the school as a normal student of that school for a semester/year.
But my uni is particularly unusual in that regard, as it considers its study abroad program to be Very Important to its reputation, and thus puts emphasis on it. ^^
