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
"I learned how to navigate and enjoy copious amounts of time alone. It was worthwhile but it was incredibly difficult mentally and emotionally. "
Julia J Middlebury College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself during this experience. Living away from home in a foreign country gives you a completely different perspective. I was lucky enough to make heaps of local friends who showed me cool areas around Liverpool. "

"I gained a lot of knowledge about that region of the world and confidence in my ability to navigate such spaces independently!"
A student Brandeis University
"I gained an empowering sense of independence. Although living alone and navigating a new country certainly contributed to my evolution, the time difference was a key factor. Being 16 hours ahead of everyone you know at home completely removes the crutch of texting or calling when you have little hindrances to your day. Although ..."

A student Wellesley College
"This experience truly was life changing for me. I had a rough sophomore year because of physical health issues, and within a week of being there, I was the happiest I have ever been.

A student Wellesley College

A student Middlebury College
"Surviving and thriving in a big city. Took challenging and unique courses not offered in many American universities. Learned how to take care of myself in the “real world.”"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that I am capable of going to a foreign country with a foreign language and surviving (and thriving). This was something I was nervous about, but overall I have learned that it is okay to be uncomfortable. This was a worthwhile experience and I'd tell anyone who was questioning whether to go or not to take the leap and..."
