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, Venezuela, The United Kingdom, and Ireland.
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.

Caitlin M Texas A&M - College Station
"I learned that not everything has to be rushed, that there are many ways in which we Americans are privileged and some ways in which we are backwards, and that you have to open your eyes and your mind to really understand yourself and the world around you. What I loved most was the friendships I made, mostly with Argentinian stu..."

Wanda Y Texas A&M - Baylor College of Dentistry
"I really do not feel this was a worthwhile experience for me. I was lucky in that I had family and friends in the area who were able to make my abroad experience immensely rewarding, but the study abroad aspect seemed to me inadequate. In the future, when looking for study abroad, I will be sure to select a program that has more..."

"Every day I am meeting new people, trying new foods, finding new cities to travel to, all while maintaining my engineering studies at Universidad de Cantabria.

Rachel M University of the Pacific
"I now know I can travel the world to countries where I am not familiar with the language or the culture and now have the skills to get along great.
