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
"My time abroad was awesome. By doing a direct enrollment in a rather isolated part of the world, you really learn to fend for yourself. Unlike being in a program, your friends aren't chosen for you. You really have to be outgoing and immerse yourself in order to make friends. Luckily for me, my classes were small and interactive..."

"I had a wonderful term at UCL! Living in London was fabulous. The activity seems endless; there is always some place to explore, an event to see, and people to spend time with. UCL academics helped me to develop better research skills. Furthermore, I made many great friends through lectures, the residence hall, and general life/..."

"I learned out to adapt to different cultures and a new environment. It was definitely worth it, I just wish it were at a school in London. "
A student Bentley University
"I realized how focused Americans are on just the United States. People abroad knew so much about our country, politics, and etc. They were so interested in knowing my opinions on policies that I didn't even know existed. I was embarrassed by this! I also thought going to London meant same language, same everything. But it was a ..."

A student Bentley University
