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 grew as a person while I studied abroad. At first, it wasn't easy to be away from home and family, but you learn to love every second you are abroad and realize that those people will be there for you when you get home. I am SO glad I studied abroad as I had the time of my life and made some of the best friends I could have ev..."

Illinois State University

Rosemary B Barnard College
"Traveling to Mexico has changed me in ways that growing up at home in United States could never do. I don't worry about my future anymore, because I am confident that I can do anything I want. Living in Mexico was a pleasure but it also taught me that life is hard. Yet, I don't stress about things as much as I did in the past. M..."

Sabrina B Presbyterian College
"I think it helped in my professional development as a teacher, and helped me to grow and become a more understanding person. Even though I was in an English speaking country, there were things I learned that I can take back about students with English as a second language. I was surprised by the types of things I learned about m..."
Bonnie D Illinois State University
"Before coming to Australia, I never traveled outside of the U.S., let alone ever been on a plane. Coming here and being away from my family and my comfort zone, I learned a lot about myself. I know I can be independent and navigate through cities on my own. I feel more confident with my future aspiration of becoming a teacher ..."
Kristy B Marywood University
"Absolutely! My study abroad experience was the best one so far during my academic career. Nothing can give you the same linguistic benefit as studying in a country that speaks the foreign language you are stuyding--nothing! Plus, it changes the way you look at global affairs, and even your own country. "
Kelli C Truman State University
"The educational aspect of my program was poor. The social aspect was unforgettable though. It will be an experience I will cherish forever!"
Suzanne B University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I learned so much about myself and gained so much independence with traveling. I was able to become friends with people from all over my own country and from all over this world and I also really learned how truly small the globe is. I already have already had the travel bug my whole life and this experience only made me want to..."
Molly K Presbyterian College

Angel B SUNY - College at Brockport
"Yes. Living in another country - not just travelling in it, but living - is a very unique experience, and rewarding."
Faye B Wellesley College
"I learned to be much more independent from my time abroad. I learned a lot about the country I was living in (England) as well as about living with other people, travel wisdom and experience, and insight into cultural differences. It has made me apply to graduate school in the UK and consider long-term work there as well."
Chelsey F Emmanuel College (Massachusetts)
"Overall,this experience has taught me that there is so much to see in the world and that if I want to get as much exposure to a certain subject or group of people that I plan on educating in the future, I have to interact with them first hand. So much better than relying on textbooks for information!"
