Internationalization at a Distance (IaD) challenges the place-based nature of traditional mobility-centered internationalization initiatives. As technology increasingly drives forth new possibilities for internationalization, there is a growing need to reconceptualize place within digital programs. By reconsidering place through a poststructuralist lens that breaks from binary oppositions like online/in-person and at home/abroad, this paper aims to explore how students experience place within one category of IaD, virtual exchange (VE). In this study, a total of 43 virtual exchange students from 21 countries were interviewed in focus groups. A combination of deductive and inductive coding methods was employed to identify key themes across the groups. Findings underline the complexity of digital place as a hybrid environment with fluid boundaries that allows students to navigate and engage in multiple places simultaneously while also negotiating identities within these interconnected contexts. This study also highlights the role of technology, including internet access and the availability and quality of information and technology infrastructure, in shaping students' online experience and their ability to engage in the digital environment while also revealing the potential inequities that may arise at both the regional and individual levels. By challenging traditional understandings of place as fixed, geographic locations, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding IaD and offers new possibilities for understanding place as fluid and hybrid within online programs.
