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.

"I learned a lot about my resiliency, which made it very worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College

A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot socially, but very little academically."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to be self sufficient, explore countries where I didn't speak the language, and how to cook for myself. It was absolutely worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about community. I learned that it is something we all need and that an authentic community doesn't have to be made up of a bunch of people who are all like-minded. In fact, I learned that the more diverse a community, the more dynamic and beautiful it is! Regardless of where we are from or what our worldviews ar..."

"More independence"
A student Texas A&M University - College Station

Elena Najjab Wellesley College
"I was so challenged by how isolating studying abroad can be. I am introverted, and did not expect to miss my family or friends when I was abroad, but I really deeply missed them throughout the whole experience. I really gained more self-reliance and an ability to be more adaptable, while I also learned to value the people I care..."
A student Birmingham-Southern College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I got exposure to a different style of education, had the opportunity to learn at one of the world's most prestigious universities, and took classes I enjoyed and found interesting. I also was able to travel a good deal, since Oxford learning is so self-directed."
A student Wellesley College
"Gained friends, a new perspective of American and British education, and new appreciation of what I have. Definitely worth it."
A student Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I think I gained knowledge about different worldviews, a new culture, new perspective on who I am as a person, and a lot of new and exciting experiences."
A student Wellesley College
"While I thought I would be studying my majors at a deeper level, I learned more about myself and how to learn independently while at LSE. I traveled around Europe, and learned to navigate the city by myself, and these were the most valuable parts of my experience abroad. I also gained a greater appreciation for my home instituti..."

"I learned a lot about budgeting, independent learning and testing my motivation."
