The word exotic means, "Originating in or characteristic of a distant foreign country, attractive or striking because colorful or out of the ordinary, of a kind not used for ordinary purposes or not ordinarily encountered."  For college students with wanderlust, studying at a foreign university could be the best decision they ever make.  Never before have young people had the opportunities now available to study in some of the world's most incredible locations.  We have compiled a list of some of the most exotic universities in the world, from the shores of Africa, the ancient city of Jerusalem, the outback of Australia, to the cultured heart of Medieval Europe – college students, the world is waiting.

Nick Plato, the article's author, said this about the list: "I'm ever grateful for my undergraduate and graduate experience, but it was my backpacking in Europe that I feel truly opened my eyes to myself and the world.  Researching great universities in amazing cities and locations I continually found myself imagining countless young men and woman getting that combined experience of my fulfilling college days together with life-changing and eye-opening experiences in foreign places."
