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, Costa Rica, Italy, and Ecuador.
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 can not even explain how amazing I thought my study abroad program was, there was not a thing I would take back. If I could do it all over again I would do it in a heartbeat. I learned so many new things about myself and other cultures. It sounds so cliche when people say they've "changed," but now I totally understand it. I d..."
Olivia M Sacred Heart University
"I learned how to be independent. There was times I traveled alone and arrived in foreign countries, including when I first arrived in London. The self confidence and problem solving that I learned from study abroad will be invaluable and a boon to me for the rest of my life. "
Timothy G University of Hartford
"Studying abroad gave me a new lease on life and really broadened my horizons and expectations for myself and my own life moving forward. I wouldn't trade my experiences and friends in England for anything."
Ben A The University of Texas at Austin
"Not only did I learn about the things I was studying (photography, art history, food) but I also learned about the culture of the country my family originated from. I learned how to respect a different lifestyle. "
christina.m.micheletti University of Wisconsin - Superior
"There is nothing I have ever done that I would deem more worthwhile than studying abroad. Not only did I learn so much about a different culture, I also learned so much about myself and what I'm capable of doing out in a country on my own. "

A student Regent’s University London
"I've never felt more immersed in a culture that's not my own. Going home to America will be weird and difficult leaving all this behind. It was definitely worth it. "
A student Wake Forest University
"This program was incredibly worth it. Not only did I get to experience education in a non-American system, I studied at one of the top-ranking schools world-wide and was successfully pushed up to and past the academic limits I had set on myself and now have access to a large alumni network."
Allie B Clark University - Worcester
"The rolling green hills, the rain, the white sheep, the cuppa tea, the castles, the beautiful Welsh singers, the friendly people, and the simplistic beauty of Wales are all reasons why I now call Wales 'home'. I learned so much, not only about myself, but about the world and people around me. I discovered that I was capable ..."
Sarah H Presbyterian College

Krista F American College of Thessaloniki (ACT)
"The best decision I've made so far. I couldn't imagine life without having experienced Greece. I learned so much about myself and wouldn't have traded this experience for anything. I miss Thessaloniki! "

"I learned about Scottish culture and got to experience it through various events organized and not organized by the school."

A student Wellesley College
"I met amazing people. I got a unique perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I visited places that are holy to people of many different faiths. I had an amazing time. "
Marisa E The University of Texas at Austin
"200 % worth while. I wish I could have done the program for an entire year. Met so many international people, not just students from the UK. I learned how to be an American in an international setting. I learned that everyone is different but in many ways everyone is the same. Friendships and friendliness are things that will la..."
Evan C The University of Texas at Austin
"ACD is a tiny school, but great for actually immersing yourself within the Irish culture, learned tons about Ireland"

"It was definitely a worthwhile experience. I made a lot of friends, gained a lot of educational experience from working in a research lab and taking graduate level courses, and also was exposed to a lot of culture and diversity without traveling far from the university. "
Nathalie R Wellesley College
"I matured, learned how to handle myself independently in a place completely out of my comfort zone, and navigate and troubleshoot situations that I never faced before. I definitely feel prepared to tackle many more adventures and challenges in my future. "

"It was absolutely worthwhile! The academic side was amazing. I loved the tutorial system. I learned so much and developed great relationships with my tutors. I also made amazing friends that I will keep in touch with. "
A student Wellesley College
"I grew so much as a person and learned a lot about myself and the world around me. It was not always easy (the culture shock was intense) but I wouldn't take back the experience for anything. If you really want to challenge yourself and mature, this is the program to do. Travel as much as possible, too!"
Brooke B The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained experience in my field of study with my internship and I made contacts and expanded my networking."
Justin T Upper Iowa University
"The trip was an extremely worthwhile experience: I learned about China, and I learned more Chinese than I ever could at home. The experience taught me that I would not want to live in China permanently, but that staying in China even once is a necessary component to knowing the culture and the language."
