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
"Yes! I thought it was very worthwhile. I learned how to balance work/life which was very cathartic. I feel like I was always stressed out at Wellesley and all I could ever think about was school. I think when you live on campus and you're constantly surrounded by people who also live and attend the same school and classes as you..."

"I gained a broader perspective on a different style of learning and into the British educational system. I learned independence and adaptability. I learned how to teach myself difficult content.

"I felt like I learned how to live on my own in a city environment. I also learned a lot from my flatmates about how this experience differed from their experience in their home countries. I also liked being able to take classes in subjects that weren't offered at my home university."
A student Wellesley College
"Yes, very worthwhile. I learned how to balance work/life which at my home university is very hard. Living separated from school helped a lot in regards to that, as well as not being constantly surrounded by other stressed students. "

A student Wellesley College
"I did learn some studying skills that I did not have in my home institution because the learning style is just so different. I also got to take some electives I couldn't have taken in my institution. I also enjoyed being able to travel in the UK. In that sense it was fun and worthwhile, but I was very disappointed with how the..."

Hassan Shah Alfaisal University
"I learned a lot about several different social justice issues: the legacy of slavery in Bristol, migration and refugees, pan-Africanism, anti-Semitism, etc. Each presentation on these issues was thoughtful and thorough and, like the best classes, left us with more questions than answers. I also gained practical knowledge on how ..."

A student University of Hawaii - Manoa
