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

It was my introduction to China so I learned so much about China in general as well as the country's environmental issues and how it's connected to politics, social issues, etc. Additionally, I now have a completely different perspective on the Greater Mekong Subregion. I met with officials from organizations ..."

"I really enjoyed my time during exchange. Brighton is a beautiful city and plenty to do! I have made friends from all over Europe, which I was not expected! There are at least 40% of international students in the UK at their universities so it is very hard to just "hang" with locals. I have learned the different teach styles and..."

"Not only did my language skills improve, but being a foreigner in China gave me a lot of opportunities to teach others about America. I was able to be a proud ambassador for the United States.

"I learned so much while living in Dublin for a month! I learned about culture, history, sports, language, and went so many different places in Ireland.

"I have learned that there are people out there who still truly respect and care for people as a whole. Koreans have an inert bond between every other Korean that causes them to fight and strive for the best 100% of the time. I also learned that my family is very proud of me and that I really missed them when I was gone. I also m..."

"Study abroad really taught me what I am capable of. I am much more resourceful and open-minded than I was before. Study abroad challenges you to step out of your comfort zone and establish a life on your own. I loved every moment of it. I wish I could be back there. "
