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.

Leah F Columbia University
"From the beginning I realized that I had a golden opportunity in front of me to do everything I can to push myself out of my comfort zone and see how I conduct myself in a completely new and foreign environment.

"Adapting to a different university curriculum was very challenging and helped me grow as a writer and academic. I became more confidence in my independence and self.

A student Wellesley College
"AIT is truly the best option if you want to study abroad as a computer science student. You will take classes of a similar level as your home university and get credit for them, while still getting to explore a different culture. I could not speak more highly of this experience, and encourage anyone interested to apply!"

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about various cultures and nationalities particularly because Maynooth focuses on bring all of the international students together rather than grouping you with other people from your country. It was a great way to make international connections and a great way to learn more about Ireland and it's history. "
chris.kennedy.167 Fordham University
"I learned a remarkable amount about myself and what I need or don't want to bother with. I also have a far greater understanding of my academic capabilities and feel as if I could confidently enter a graduate programme now instead of heading back to Wellesley for my senior year. The experience was most certainly worthwhile. "

A student University of Maine at Orono
"I met a ton of people from all over the world. I cannot wait to travel back to Europe and visit friends. Traveling also opened up my eyes to how big the world really is.

I made lifelong friends, and gained a perspective on a possible future life path from my exper..."
