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
"Yes. I gained life skills and knowledge, I learned how to cook, to better socialize, to be more patient, and about a whole other country and its people. I already had a love for travel, but my study abroad just cemented my love for meeting people and learning about new cultures. I am definitely wanting to go abroad again for ..."

As soon as I finish univ..."

Victoria B Lebanon Valley College
"Study abroad definitely changed my life and I would recommend it to ANYONE. I learned so much about myself and the world at large.

Hilary H University of Northern Iowa
"Yes! Studying abroad really did change my life, which I'm sure tons of people say and it sounds trite, but it really did. My entire way of perceiving the world will always be a little different, and I think, if hard-pressed for an answer, the thing studying abroad taught me is that (despite my pessimism) people really might be g..."
Joshua B University of North Dakota
"I gained an understanding of people from different countries. It helped being able to communicate with people who know very little english.

Matthew M St. Cloud State University

"This isn't a world in which one country, mindset, or viewpoint dominates. Be able to critically and thoughtfully engage with that which is foreign to you. Sometimes that takes living in a different country or speaking in a different language. "

Lauren W Harvard University
"I really enjoyed being in another country, however, there was a huge culture difference. I took 4 classes and enjoyed only 2. Their system of teaching is still not up to date. The teacher and student relationship is still very traditional and there is a hierarchy. However, 2 of my classes was so interesting and interacted becaus..."

"Yes! I had to take out a few loans in order to do this, but I would definitely do it all again anytime!

Traveling and studying in Australia made me realize how much I love meeting new people and ..."
