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.

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Traveling is a mind opening experience, and you should always expose yourself to new experiences and make connections with any interesting person you meet, even if the relationship is fleeting. Going abroad was definitely worthwhile. You can't get much more independent than living on your own in a foreign country and making a li..."
Kathryn D Fordham University
"I learned a lot about different cultures and the locals. Dublin is a great place to travel to different areas in Europe. I also got practice meeting people (something I'm horrible at) and traveling on my own. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything."

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I found out more about myself and what is really important to me. I learned about different cultures I became more open minded. One of the most important things for me is that I also became more patient about life. Seeing so many beatiful things kind of knocks you down to a humble level. You begin to want to travel more and stud..."
Chris O Bentley University
"I loved the cultural experiences I had abroad, but I would not have based myself in Leiden. The program was complicated in its administration, underwhelming academically, very solitary, and generally isolating. I did not interact with one Dutch student the entire semester. The friends I did make were all living in the center ..."
A student The College of William and Mary
"It was definitely worthwhile, I was able to learn about myself as well as others who were very different from me. Trying new cuisines that I may not have tried back in the states, and experiencing situations I would not have been able to back home. This experience has allowed me to continue to keep an open mind, and forever plan..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
