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.

It forces you to speak the language but you can always find someone who can speak English or help you if you ever really need it. I want to wor..."

"WWU is not very helpful to people who study abroad. My program went a bit beyond winter quarter but I had to sign all this paper work to get back in, I wasn't allowed to work my jobs until I was registered for classes (they initially told me I would be able to then half way through my trip said I couldn't so I had to figure some..."
Marta U Western Washington University
"I became more responsible and better at taking initiative. It has also made me a more adventurous and outgoing person, because I had to do everything on my own will if I wanted to have any fun. I gained an interesting perspective on how people treat life on the other side of the world, and it will forever affect how I live my li..."
Jeff D Middlebury College
"YES. The study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. It made me realize that I could live abroad for the rest of my life and be very happy with it. It's made me reconsider my future plans of always living on the east coast and being able to potentially consider a career at a job with an office in Sydney. "
Marissa H Middlebury College

Margaret W Towson University
"I loved going abroad because I learned about Anthropology which I never had done before in school and I learned about myself. Living with strangers for a extended period of time helps you learn about yourself and things you need to change in your life. "

Salena C Middlebury College
"Incredible. I could write a book about it."
Thomas R Middlebury College
"Yes, I made it amazing and worth while but Villanova and Queen Mary did not assist me nearly enough and I regret going to that school."
Emily I Villanova University
"My study abroad experience was great I experienced a huge disapointment with my home school. When I decided to stay another semester they were not very responsive when I tried to e mail them with questions. At first they were, but after the initial e mail about what I need to do, they ignored my e mails and I wouldn't get any re..."
Laura O University of Wisconsin - Stout

Elizabeth P University of Maine at Orono

"I really enjoyed it, but it was difficult to live with a host mother. I never felt comfortable in my living situation. That was really the only downfall, and that can be easily fixed. I feel that the experience just reaffirmed my academic interests!"
Amanda K The University of Texas at Austin
"Everything was worthwile to do, even getting to do not so fun things or experience. I believe that any experience, either good or bad, will stay as memories that are going to be with you for ever. If I have would have the chance to go again in an exchange program, I would do it no questions asked. Probably since I already was i..."
Joshua A University of Texas - Arlington
"It was among the best experiences of my life. If I had to do it again, I would have enrolled via a study abroad provider, like CIEE, since their program administration helps you avoid the hassles I encountered prior to arrival. I also would have lived with my friends if possible. Otherwise, I'd return in a heartbeat."
Jacob P Tufts University
"Yes."
Lauren C Kansas State University
"It gives you a perspective on yourself and the world that you had never expected to gain (nor knew you were lacking). Limit your contact with fellow Americans and surround yourself with locals and other internationals; it'll pay off for you in more ways than can be explained here."
Michael R University of Wisconsin - Stout
