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.

"Even though it was chaotic and I didn't end up passing my courses, I still lived in a different country for almost 6 months. I definitely say it was worth it, it was very enriching and I had the ability to practice my Spanish more than ever could have back home and have native feedback. I would say it was a wonderful life experi..."

A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I gained a lot of respect for those living in foreign countries and speaking their second or even third language daily. I have officially caught the travel bug. There are so many amazing things to see, and learn, followed by many interesting people to meet, and lots of different cultures to experience. I've become more social, a..."
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Aside from learning the language, culture and exploring I learned a lot about myself, I learned to be independent and to make good choices. After my time there I believe that when you go abroad you find yourself because you are in a new place, where you know no one, with no limitations what so ever. "
Carolyn R. Nagle Instituto Franklin-UAH
"The education system taught me self motivation in a way that only Oxford could. It's almost the complete opposite of American uni's and definitely something worth trying. You learn alot about yourself as you go through the program"
A student Wellesley College
"When I came to Spain, I wasn’t even sure if I could speak Spanish because I didn’t have many opportunities to practice. I was afraid to talk with people and start conversations. By my 3rd month in I was readily and willing to talk with anyone and was not ashamed to make mistakes because I knew that is the only way I would get b..."

"It was definitely a worthwhile experience. I was only supposed to go abroad for one semester, but I decided to extend it for the rest of the year. I learned so much about myself and the world around me. If you are on the fence about studying abroad, just go!"

"My favorite part of study abroad wasn't the studying. It was the travel. UEA's long Easter break (as well as shorter breaks here and there) allowed me to go all over Europe and the UK. I saw museums and cities that I have always dreamed of visiting. I discovered new places I loved (Scotland) far more than the places I thought I ..."
