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
"I learned so much from this experience and gained many new friends. I learned how to be independent, come out of my comfort zone, and what is truly important to me. I learned more about my Jewish identity and why I practice the way I do. This was a worthwhile experience for me because I know I will take all these lessons with me..."
A student Brandeis University
"I really learned how to step out of my comfort zone and explore a country that is both so similar to my culture in my actual home/parent's native country but different from the overall area I grew up in in the US. I met some of the best people, got to experience so many new things, and really had the best time of my life. It was..."

A student Wellesley College
"Definitely worthwhile...gained new academic experience at a school entirely different from my home university (in a positive way), general life skills being more independent and living in a foreign country, and of course expanded my global worldview and international experience.

A student Wellesley College
"Going from a space where I'm inherently viewed as 'other' to one where I look and am treated no different from your standard Korean citizen was such a mind-boggling experience. On the one hand, my ethnic background allows me to uniquely access Korean culture and be supported through my time here in ways I am almost positive othe..."

"It was definitely worthwhile"
A student Wellesley College
"Overall my time at UoB was a worthwhile experience. The city is beautiful, possessing both culinary and cultural diversity (although the city and school are still both predominately white). Overall, the students and city residents were very kind and welcoming. It was also very nice to step away from Wellesley for a semester. In ..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned different perspectives of quality of life in The Netherlands, the language. It was very worthwhile as I am now considering doing my Masters in The Netherlands and potentially working in the E.U."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to live independently and overcome obstacles that come with it. I grew to understand myself more by living in a different culture, no matter how similar it looks on the surface. It was academically challenging and I felt lost at times, however I relied on my new friends and was always able to push through it. "
Anastasia K Wellesley College
