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
"So worth it! Learned so many things about not only Japanese culture, but about people from around the world. "
A student University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I learned a lot about myself. It was worthwhile. "
Rachel G Presbyterian College
"The Israeli culture is very different from the American culture. People are a lot more upfront and this can come off as rude to some Americans. I became a lot more direct and confident in myself after being in Israel. I can also make quicker decisions now since in Israel you need to be quick to act and more aggressive, this is a..."

"Delving into other countries is great fun. Definitely worthwhile."
Cherry C The University of Texas at Austin
"Not having a job that provides a steady income flow puts a different perspective on everyday expenses. Budgeting is key! Making friends from all over the world gives you an excuse to travel later. Use those connections to your advantage. Ask them to house you, feed you, guide you, etc."
A student Clark University - Worcester
"It was great. The program was kind of bad but Thailand was amazing. I tell people that if I had attended the program and I was not in Thailand, I would not have had a good time. But Thailand was incredible and life changing and I did learn a lot in the program, just not necessarily in the classroom. "

A student Brandeis University
"It was completely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and I was able to make a lot of friends and have fun in the process. I was able to learn about the different teaching styles that Sussex offers and I explored England and Europe as much as I could. If I had the opportunity again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. "
Patricia B The University of Texas at Austin

"Turkish. Yes, it was worthwhile. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned to be more independent, worldly, excepting of others differences, and that America is not the center of the universe. The trip was definitely worthwhile. I had the best time of my life. "
A student University of Hartford
"Having lived abroad with my family before, I didn't think I would learn as much as I did. It's a completely different experience living on your own. You learn how to go outside of your comfort zone to meet new people, how to navigate a foreign city, how to independently plan a trip; you end up surprising yourself. You also learn..."
Alex V The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a lot of independence while I was away but also a greater appreciation for what I have at home. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, and I would highly recommend it. But it is what you make of it. "
A student Middlebury College
"I did an exchange program, so I happened to be the only student from UT to study abroad at UL. Turned out to be one of the most eyeopening and best experiences of my life. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone studying abroad. The international society on campus had so many different events to meet people, that I quic..."
mallory.melott The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved the traveling I got to do while in St Andrews and met some really fantastic people. The courses I took were interesting and very different from those I could take at home. However, St Andrews is really not all that different from a university you might find in the US. I would go abroad again in a heartbeat, but I think I..."
A student Middlebury College
