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
"Obviously I learnt a lot about the language (but that's the point of my degree, isn't it?) but also the culture and living style. Spent a lot of time visiting the country and saw wonderful places. I also met great friends and very nice people from here and there (basically all around the world, being an exchange student makes ..."

"It was worthwhile, the instruction was amazing but one class over a three week period leaves you with plenty of time to get familiar with the city. "
A student Middlebury College

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile, but probably not in the way it was supposed to be. I had to learn to deal with culture shock on top of my program being a mess. I love, love, love Istanbul and I cannot recommend coming here enough, but please go on a different program. "

"I learned so much about myself and I became even more independent. It was also interesting to hear about how North Americans are viewed through the eyes of Asians, South Americans, and the Europeans. It was definitely worthwhile, but as this was my first time out of the country and being away from friends & family for 5 months, ..."
