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.
Study Abroad with Direct Enrollment/Exchange
"You learn a lot about yourself, your likes and dislikes, and you gain a lot of independence"
Melanie D University of Hartford
"Even though I felt I was already independent, I definitely became even more confident in my ability to take care of myself. I learned a lot about living in a city, which I appreciated after living in the suburbs my whole life. I learned to appreciate my surroundings and really embrace new experiences, even more so than I have do..."
A student Wellesley College
"The experience was definitely worthwhile. You learn a lot about yourself and you impress yourself at times with how mature you are while also having a few wow-no-clue-what-I'm-doing moments. It's entirely what you make of it."

"I made international friends. I learned how much work goes into making a documentary. I would say in the end, I did enough to make it worthwhile."
Caileigh B The University of Texas at Austin
"Here is my overall summary of my semester in Ghana: I studied abroad in Cape Coast, Ghana during the spring of 2014 with the CISabroad program. CISabroad’s Ghana program was fairly small (7-8 students), but this made our experience incredibly intimate and personalized. I spoke to other students who studied abroad with large..."
Lauren L Boston University
"I loved my IES Abroad program! I attended the Beijing Language Intensive program in the summer and fall of 2014, and had the time of my life. The faculty were amazing, and truly understood what it is like to learn Chinese as a foreigner. The program also makes it easy to get out and explore Beijing and the rest of China. With IE..."

"I gained a lot from the new experience and also from the administration of ACD that took time out of their personal lives to help us. "
A student Plymouth State University
"I learned a ton about Japanese culture, Japanese language, and myself. Being immersed in a new culture and having everything that was familiar to me taken away really gave me an opportunity to see who I really am without all of that. It was also very interesting to be able to view American culture from a different culture's poin..."

"The experience was definitely worthwhile.

Also, the chance to travel to other countries while you a..."
