Direct Enrollment/Exchange is a program provider offering 1869 abroad programs. 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.

"LMH was a great contrast to my experience at my home institution. I was able to focus on areas of student life that oftentimes aren't prioritized at my home institution. I got to see nine new countries without feeling like I spent too much or wasted my time in England."
A student Wellesley College
"Most of the courses are very helpful and close connected to real life. I have learned a lot. I have also made a lot of friends outside of class. I learned to be independent and build a new lifestyle in a foreign country. It is very worthwhile to do this study abroad. "

"I have a lot of family in the Netherlands so it was very nice spending time with them and getting to know them better. I also left knowing much more Dutch than I knew previously. This made it very worthwhile. "

"Yes, it was worth it"
Aliyyah A Wellesley College
"My time at Oxford taught me how to think critically, manage my time effectively, and approach challenges independently. The tutorial system pushed me to develop my research and writing skills while articulating and defending my ideas during one-on-one discussions. Beyond academics, I gained a deeper appreciation for British cult..."

"I gained experience on how it is to study in Europe and met some great people from all over."
A student Brandeis University
"Through my very worthwhile experience studying abroad at KAIST, I gained the independence I would not have found back home in Boston.

S..."

"I do feel like I improved my philosophical thinking, reading, and writing abilities. However, I am not sure this was worth my general lackluster experience. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about navigating transportation, problem-solving and planning (academically, financially, and travel-wise), and gained friends and experience travelling internationally. "
A student Wellesley College
"The two biggest things I learned were in regards to culture and politics. With culture, I gained great insight from people I spoke to around town, my professors and classmates. This included local phrases, different eating habits, and by the end I was laughing at jokes that only Greeks would understand. In terms of politics, my ..."

"My semester at Cambridge pushed me to live more independently and improved my critical writing abilities. While it was not perfect, it was a rewarding and worthwhile experience."
A student Wellesley College
"The campus is full of international students. Just by speaking with them, you'll learn so much about the country they are from that you never would have otherwise. Their perspectives on the world and politics and culture are truly invaluable, I didn't have a dull conversation the entire time. In doing so, I learned how much Amer..."
Abram R Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about independent study and what it looks like across different subject areas seeing as the University of Bristol program aimed to motivate independent study among students. It is something I had hoped to experience when applying and can say it is an experience I hope to implement in my studies at Brandeis going ..."
A student Brandeis University
"YES! I learned just as much about people, meal prep, budgeting, sharing living spaces, making friends, travel, European culture, and Scottish culture as I did anything from my classes. I think thats why I like abroad: only part of the education comes from the classes, and so the whole time you are learning since the experience o..."
