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.

"I think one of the most rewarding things about traveling is meeting people from all over the world. Even being in a study abroad program with people from different parts of the country was eye-opening. I forced to try to communicate in a language I barely knew with people who didn't know my language much better. It was hard, but..."

Lindsay P California Baptist University
"Absolutely worthwhile. I have done and tried things that I never thought possible.

Never had been away from family and friends for so long, definitely challenges you in ways you never expected and makes you a s..."

"My experience was very worthwhile. I still talk with the friends I made. After I finished I was so sad I was leaving that I wanted to extend my time there.

"I learned I can be put in any situation and live with it. Its a lot about being content, not always looking ahead to the future. I also learned I am very sensitive to black mold.

Taylor W Presbyterian College
"Immensly"

Brittany C Illinois State University
"I really learned a lot in the six or so weeks that I was in Ireland. It was great meeting so many new people. The location could not have been better.

"The abroad experience is definitely worthwhile. It gives you a chance to put all you have learned in college thus far (both about yourself and academically) into effect in a different setting. It also gives you new perspective about your home country and college. And, if your lucky, it gives you an opportunity to travel and have..."
Study I Barnard College
"My French is way better. Some of my professors were really excellent (I repeat this because it seems, from talking to other exchange students, that my experience was an anomaly) - I have developed intellectually while here. I also know a lot more about France and Europe which is really neat. I am more culturally aware from spend..."
Tanya O Wellesley College
"It most definitely was! I have so much understanding on how Europe views America and also got so much different prespective on topics such as WWI and WWII. Belgium is such a historical country and so beautifully done, the architecture of the city which very old but has that amazing charm to it and makes the country so special. I..."
Hawa U Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts
"My abroad experience was simply amazing. I loved it so much that I decided to go back to school for a second Masters. I have made friends of a lifetime which was odd when you think of your friends back home. However, being so far away, many of them were not just friends, but family. Because of that I have travelled to many of my..."
