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.

"I learned that being able to live in another country for 4 months is one of the most important and eye-opening things that a college student can do.

A student Illinois State University

A student Wellesley College

Kory C Illinois State University
"I LOVE Leicester. I have learned so much by being here. The best part of the semester, though, was the 5 week break which I spent backpacking. It may me experience so many different cultures which i enjoyed so much. The reason I wouldn't choose Leicester again is nothing against the school or program itself, I would just prefer ..."
Erin A Illinois State University
"This experience was truly the most spontaneous, adventurous, and wonderful thing I could have ever done. I'm beyond grateful and blessed to have been giving this opportunity.
