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 how to travel: how to ask the right questions, where to search for travel options, what to have arranged, what to have planned, what to leave to spontaneity, the need for having a backup plan, and the definite need for flexibility, otherwise you WILL go insane from sheer panic. I learned how to learn a language. It's ..."

"I've been traveling abroad for nearly 50 years. It is always educational, exciting and beneficial."
Nancy Drigotas Ron Pokrasso

A student University of Connecticut
"good"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned A LOT about myself and what I need as a person. I need a community, I need a support system, I need people to share experiences with. Not all the time - as I knew as a self proclaimed independent before departing - but there is a difference between valuing alone time and living off of it. I also became an amazing write..."
A student Brandeis University
" "
A student Università Ca' Foscari / Ca' Foscari University of Venice
"My experience was incredibly worthwhile. I learned how to make decisions for myself and how to navigate not only through new cities, but through uncertainty.

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself, what I'm comfortable with, what makes me happy. I gained experience with a different method of schooling from a large university - something I never would've been exposed to if I hadn't gone abroad. "
A student Middlebury College
"Learned how different other countries are from the US (even a country like Australia, which many people think is very similar). How different education is in other countries. Definitely worthwile."
A student Middlebury College
"So much educational value that I couldn't gain at my home university as well as experiencing a city (not to mention a whole lot of Europe) instead of rural VT. Definitely worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"Yes i learned so much both during classes and outside. Worth it all. "
Katherine Hargadon Centenary College of New Jersey
"My study abroad experience allowed me to learn how to be on my own in a new environment. I was able to take responsibility in myself that I was never really able to before. Not only that, but I was able to experience a new culture while I was at it and see a different way of living. It was amazing. "
Guinevere Beirne Berea College
"CBS offered courses that wouldn't be available to me at my home university. I loved the different material, and being in classes with a host of international students that had diverse backgrounds and opinions. "
Leslie Olsovsky The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I learned so much from mundane things such as cooking for myself, budgeting, shopping, traveling, finances, to making lasting personal relationships, to learning how to take charge of my own education. It was definitely worthwhile. "
