My strong advice is to stick with programs that have credibility and longevity. I recommend that you do your due diligence.

Research the company thoroughly. Speak with students who have previously gone abroad with the company.

• What was their experience like?
  
• Would they go again with that company if they could? 
  
• What were the advantages of going with the program? 
  
• What were the disadvantages?
  

Usually your first impressions are correct so only go with a program that your university supports.
