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.

Yoon Ah L Wellesley College

Yuxi C Wellesley College
"yes!"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about different cultures, especially about Germany. My experiences showed me that there is no wrong way to approach life and that the human race is very creative. It was definitely worthwhile!"
Kirsten W Presbyterian College
"You really learn how to fend for yourself. Wellesley is so wonderfully helpful and kind to its students, while SOAS really is not. I had a great time meeting new friends, learning London and traveling Europe. In general, it was a terrific experience. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about my self and I also became extremely independent. I loved London and hope to live there if the future will allow it. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, and although I missed Wellesley dearly, I would strongly encourage everyone to study abroad for at least once semester. "
A student Wellesley College
"I would have regretted not going because I would not have known. In hindsight, I would have gotten just as much out of it with a much shorter program (and also saved thousands of dollars). Like the locals said, much of New Zealand's culture is just the leftovers from America so it's not very different, just more for less."
A student University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I gained a lot more personally and culturally than academically. I learned more from debating and listening to my European friends and their perspective on politics and free markets than from the often scripted and uncaring professors in lectures. By living in an urban city, I also became a lot more independent--it's completely ..."

"a greater sense of self"
A student Wellesley College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. Learned about another culture and self-sufficiency. "
A student Wellesley College
"I met many international students and was able to travel to many different countries. It was worth it, but I wish I would have studied in any other Western European country other than France...I can safely say it was my least favorite country of them all."
Theresa C University of Hawaii - Manoa
"How people in other cultures live, schooling, customs."
A student Longwood University
"How to live outside the US, what thats like, how other cultures teach and think. "
A student SUNY - College at Geneseo
"I travelled a lot"
A student Wellesley College
"Yes. I learned alot from the program."
A student Brandeis University
"A home? It sounds silly and cheesy, but I could really see myself moving back to Edinburgh in the future. I gained a city, really, and the openness that comes with that - the willingness to try a whole host of new things I would never have done before."
annelle.castillo Wellesley College
"The British educational system is very different to the American one. I learned how to organize my way of learning especially with the courses that only required one final exam at the end of the year to determine ones grade. It was difficult, however, the skills I've learned- especially the study skills- will be useful to me for..."
A student Brandeis University
"Absolutely worthwhile! I learned so much about the area and about myself. I gained a new perspective on conflict, and I gained several new best friends."
A student Brandeis University
"I honestly didn't enjoy my abroad experience. I would have loved to be in a big city. Also, I wasn't 100% sure that I actually wanted to go and made the decision very last minute before taking the time to really look at the school. I think that College is a very special time in a persons life and looking back, I would have rathe..."
A student Middlebury College
"I loved it! Being in Israel and feeling a real part of the culture was a phenomenal experience, and I can't wait to go back."
A student Brandeis University
"It was a great learning experience. I learned to find my way around a foreign city. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worth while. I learned a lot inside and outside of my courses. I learned about a different way of learning. I learned about how to be more responsible for my own learning. I learned about how to be a better traveler. About how to organize all of the things that you need to travel: transportation, lodging, vis..."
A student Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned so much about the Irish culture. It was great to experience it first-hand. Interacting with the locals was very exciting. I was surprised as to how nice the locals were. I learned to be independent and now I know I can go abroad by myself again and I will be okay! "
A student Illinois State University
"Trust in my ability to be OK in a foreign country"
Alexandra K Middlebury College
