Programs offered include Study Abroad, Internship, Volunteer, Intensive Language, Gap Year, Graduate Program, High School, Research, Online Program, TEFL Courses, and Adventure Travel abroad programs in 121 countries such as Spain, International Summer Schools, Turkey, and Slovakia.
Below you will find a directory of foreign universities and reviews from students who participated in an exchange, or in direct enrollment.
In a Direct Enrollment program, students have the option of applying directly to the university they wish to attend abroad. Students can go for either one or two semesters and apply using that university's application process listed for international students. Sometimes these students are called Visiting Students, Guest Students or Free Movers. At the foreign university, they will be supported by the university's office of international students, housed with other international students and have the opportunity not only to immerse in a foreign culture, but to do so with students from all over the world.
In an Exchange, you attend a foreign university and a foreign student attends your home university, a student swap for a semester or year. Your university will handle the details of the exchange, you just need to find the ideal foreign university. Hopefully the listings and reviews below can help you down that path. You will need to contact your university's study abroad department or your academic advisor for details on the exchange because the number of valid/active exchange partners may be very limited.
Study Abroad with Direct Enrollment/Exchange
"I learned to get out of my comfort zone and to not compromise my goals. I could have been friends with other American students but I went out of my way to make as many international friends as possible. Now I have connections in almost every European country and Australia. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin

A student Middlebury College
"It was an absolutely worthwhile experience. Being in Israel gave me a greater appreciation and a deeper understanding of the forces contributing to the Israeli psyche and Israeli mentality.

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"A great experience. I am more worldly. I know more about a different culture than my own. . "
A student Wellesley College
"I chose London because I wanted to PROVE to myself that I could make it in a big city, manage a budget, and cook for myself. It taught me a lot about myself, how I socialize, and how I work best, and it really showed me a lot of my weaknesses (which I can now work on). Whereas at Wellesley there's lots of padding in terms of gra..."
A student Wellesley College
"I became a much better student and writer, much more confident and better at talking to strangers and making friends."
Camille Kellogg Middlebury College
"I learned that the world has many things to offer and see. I also learned that if you try to learn about another culture you can realize that other people are living out in the world in a different way than the U.S way, and that they are not disadvantaged by it. London is a large city especially compared to anything in Connecti..."

Katelyn University of Connecticut
"I learned that the U.S. is studied by all countries while we don't know much about the rest of the world. I learned to make a friend in a 5 minute conversation instead of trying to pass the time. Most importantly, I learned how to enjoy life more than I knew possible. "
Tiffani Porter Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I learned so much about myself and how independent I can be. It was worthwhile in the sense that I now feel comfortable with my Spanish and I know I can handle a lot, but I wish it would have been more of the mind-blowing experience everyone always talks about. "

"The ability to work in a city like Florence had multiple benefits. I felt constantly inspired by the history and beauty of the city, my patience increased as a result of photographing in large crowds of people, and I was influenced by the lovely people I interacted with on a daily basis. It was definitely worthwhile."
