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.

"Unbelievable experience and a lot of learning."
Nicola L DWS
"This experience has taught me so much about the world we live in, the thoughts and values of people from different cultures, and allowed me to grow as a person.

Elizabeth F University of Maine - Orono
"How to be academically independent- a skill I'll use my senior year and in future studies Exploring Europe was also a valuable experience. I enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and sharing our stories, and learning to just live for a little bit. "

Eva L None
"My abroad experience was worthwhile. I had the opportunity to travel, take interesting classes, and meet kind people"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that even in my everyday life, I remind myself that everyone is different. When I went to Taiwan, that statement was an understatement because the culture itself was so different. I loved learning about Taiwan's culture, and how it is different from China's culture, and also how similar it is to Korea's culture. "
Yumi J Trinity University
"First of all, I haven't seen such a long reading list for one week.... It intimidated me in the beginning of the year; however, I could find myself getting comfortable with the materials and actually enjoyed for some interested topics. And the tutorials were very helpful because I was able to ask all the questions and interact ..."

"I learned so much about myself and the world. I would do it again in a heart beat. "
A student Wellesley College
"The ability and knowledge that I could live on my own for an extended period of time. A real awareness of differences between cultures. A feeling of intimacy with a culture and art that shaped a whole way of life and perspective of art for centuries to come. How small yet important I felt compared to the art that surrounded ..."
Stephen P University of Texas - Arlington
"One thing that I learned was that history is so much more enjoyable learning about if you are in the topic's origin. "
A student Trinity University

Mike A University of Massachusetts Amherst / UMass
"It changed my life"
Corey G Concordia University - Canada
"The most worthwhile thing for me was the experience of living on my own in a city, in a flat rather than a dorm. That was a valuable lesson in independence, and I definitely think it was worthwhile. I also appreciated this program because it was so different from my home college. It was good to experience a different kind of uni..."
