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.

A student Wellesley College
"Studying abroad at Trinity was the best four months of my life. Ireland offers the perfect blend of a big city in Dublin with easy access to the Irish countryside and coast.

"The assessments were more intense, so I learned more about managing my time to balance out my work and "play" schedule.

A student Utica College
"I sincerely learned a lot about myself. I made some very good friends, and even a current ex-girlfriend (long story).

It wasn't one of those programs that coddles you and makes you draw about your feelings w..."

A student University of Maine - Orono
"I gained a lot of confidence and perspective from this semester. I was forced to problem-solve and live on my own (relatively speaking) for three months, meaning that I had to learn to budget, travel, etc. for myself. Additionally, I interacted with a lot of international students, allowing me to have a much broader perspective ..."
A student Case Western Reserve University
