Is it worthwhile to go for overseas exchange programmes?

Hi,

My school offers one-year exchange programmes to overseas schools like Yale, Waseda University (Japan), Ecole Polytechnic (France).

Would it be in any way useful for my application to Grad. School later, in the mathematical sciences (Pure Math)?

It is not fully subsidised by the school, which means I have to fork out a sum of money to go..

Thanks for advice!

I can't say anything about Waseda University (which says more about my ignorance of international schools than their reputation), but it would most definitely help to spend some time at Yale or Ecole and work with/potentially get recommendations from some well-known people.
