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 Sarah Lawrence College
"I've learned to be independent and I've learned to go and do my own things. I've also learned that I need to do what makes me happy and not worry about making other's upset. It was very worthwhile, even when I had a lot of rough patches. "
Sarah R Central Michigan University
"Studying in Rome especially at The American University of Rome was the best decision I have ever made. It is such a small university which was nice, because you really got to know the other students. The faculty and staff of AUR make sure to do anything they absolutely can to make sure you have the best experience possible. I am..."
Trista C Central Michigan University

AURStudyAbroadStudent University of Miami
"I would not change my experience for anything. I wish I did not have to leave and hope to be back again. I've learned a lot about myself and come to appreciate culture and all the different things the world has to offer."
becca.salzman University of Maryland - College Park
"I learned that I could really hack it out on my own. Even though, as an American college student, you have a lot of independence, being abroad and completely alone is a whole new ball game. I wasn't quite sure that I could do it but after spending an entire semester there, shopping for my own groceries, cooking my own meals, pla..."

"yes it was a lot."
A student
"It was definitely worthwhile. With this program you get to experience all of Turkey. Through the day excursions in Istanbul and the two excursions around the rest of Turkey you really get a sense of what it means to be Turkish. Turkey (along with Turkish food and the Turkish people) will always hold a special place in my heart. ..."
Siobhan E Grinnell College
"It made me reflect about myself and my culture along with learning a different culture. "
A student SUNY - College of Technology at Alfred (Alfred State University)
"I learned a lot about Ireland and culture, and it was most definitely worth while. It wasn't exactly how I expected it, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing! "
A student University of Puget Sound

A student SUNY - College of Technology at Alfred (Alfred State University)
"Americans do not have all the Answers, Travel opens your eyes"
Josh G SUNY - College of Technology at Alfred (Alfred State University)
"I really came to accept who I am as a person as well as learning to throw myself 500% into my art form and never holding back for any reason. This was one of the most valuable experiences I have ever had."
A student University of Southern California
"Opportunity for good ensemble experiences and to work with highly skilled and knowledgeable instructors and directors. Semester-long program helped me grow enormously as a performer in a way that was not possible at my home institution."
A student Oberlin College
"I gained a lot of independence, especially in being able to travel from place to place whether it be to another city in Ireland or to another country in Europe. I also was able to learn about Europe, European history, and how other countries accomplish things (for example, I took an Irish Health Policy course). I was able to mak..."
A student University of Maine at Orono
"I learned a huge amount about theatre, particularly about Shakespeare. It was absolutely worthwhile, but the program has some kinks it needs to work out. "
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned a lot about myself and my independence, in addition to the acting techniques. Being so far away, and with limited contact to my friends and family at home, I had to figure almost everything out on my own. At first it was scary, but eventually it became liberating. I am no longer afraid of living on my own, in a city in..."
Elizabeth W University of Southern California
"You will be a completely independent person when you return, your priorites will go from yourself and technology and convenience, to helping others and being relaxed, life is not to be rushed but to be enjoyed. I would stay here forever if i could."
Courtney M SUNY - Hudson Valley Community College
"It was a very meaningful experience for me. I was able to obtain an internship abroad and learned about the working environment in China. Moreover, I was able to connect with the locals and made lifelong friendships. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in Chinese culture. "
Nghi T Arizona State University
"I learned how to be self reliant, and depend on myself for survival in any environment. I also learned that we as human beings are a lot more interconnected that we presume ourselves to be. I gained the ability to connect with people from any culture on a deeper level very effectively. It was totally worthwhile."
Michael B Florida Memorial University
"I learned how to better communicate cross-culturally, as well as laugh at myself a lot. I also learned to be patient with foreign languages, as fluency will not come overnight. Everything I learned abroad was completely worth it. "
Asa Z Davidson College
"Following a semester in Beijing, the IES Kunming program provided a lot of perspective on China as a whole. I grew very close with my home stay family and hung out with a very diverse group of friends."
Wills S Bucknell University
"Every student should have to do this. This trip changed the way I look at life and the opportunities ahead of me. It was too easy to get caught up in the bubble of reality that I experience in Orono, Maine, and even America. To say that my trip was worthwhile would be selling it short. Taking the chance to break outside of my ow..."
