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.

Matthew D Illinois State University
"As my second time abroad I was looking to complete my remaining hours from my home university, as well as travel Europe once more. But this time was harder, and I blame this on the length of time. Seven months is a very long time. Too much time in my opinion. But I think it was a valuable learning experience and I'm excited to b..."

"definitely. "
Kristen S Illinois State University
"I have learned so much about myself, others, and the world. It is one of those experiences that you can't explain to family and friends unless they have gone abroad themselves.

Elizabeth B Illinois State University
"I had the best experience of my life and now that's it's over i am extremely sad, i miss my friends terribly, but all the fun and love i experienced is worth tenfold the pain i feel now. I learned so much about other countries their their social and educational systems, it makes it hard to want to move back to such as this one. ..."
Jamie A Western Washington University
"Every experience is worthwhile. I learned self-reliance, independence, and self-confidence. If I had to do it over again, I would research the program options more thoroughly before committing."
Heidi B Capital University
"Absolute worthwhile. There will always be minor complaints, but the people I met and the experiences I had far outweighed these. I feel way more culturally aware, in a way one can only be after experiencing another culture for an extended period of time. I have always wanted to spend more time learning in Europe, and this pro..."
