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 took advantage of being in Europe for an extended amount of time by making frequent trips to other countries. In my final two months, I only had class on Wednesday so I would fly out from Thursday to Tuesday. Ma..."

A student University of Hartford

Maria V The University of Texas at Austin
"Study abroad was stressful and difficult, and most definitely worthwhile. I learned life skills like budgeting, traveling, and living on my own. I learned more about myself than I ever thought I would. By taking away everything that I was used to, I learned what I need in order to succeed. I also learned alot about other culture..."
A student University of Hartford
"I learned about myself. I learned to accept myself and feel comfortable being who I am. Meeting new people and sharing life experiences has shaped the way I feel and think about everything. I have become more understanding of people from all walks of life. There is nothing better than to meet a new friend over a nice fika."

A student University of Northern Iowa

A student University of Northern Iowa
"I learned more of a language. I made lifelong friends. I had the experience of living completely on my own and being somewhere I might never be again. It was completely worthwhile. "
A student School of Visual Arts
"Yes, it was great. It was my first time living completely away from my family (I live at school, but close enough that I could go home if I need to), and I found that I had no problem with it. Going somewhere far away alone teaches you that you can be self reliant and do things on your own that you previously relied on others fo..."
A student The College of New Jersey
"It was a worthwhile experience, but one needs to understand Norway is out of the way in comparison to European countries. The weather is also a factor that should go into the decision making process."
A student The University of Texas at Austin

A student Baylor University
"My experience abroad was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I learned so much about different cultures and the people in them.

Kristen H University of Westminster
