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, my study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. I had a fantastic time and while I was nervous to go at first I am glad I took the leap. I found that studying abroad was not just something that I wanted to do but something that I needed."
Emily M University of Southern Maine
"I don't regret one single thing and I would have stayed in Adelaide South Australia for the rest of my life if school permitted. I honestly want to return for my Masters Program. I see myself living in Australia and loving it for the rest of my life."
Lindsey S Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"yes, met many people had good experiences"
Victoria V Illinois State University

Sarah G Rollins College
"Yes. I improved my Japanese language fluency and made friends"
Stephen L University of the Pacific
"Yes. I learned about a completely different place as well as some of the neighbor's cultures. I now see that there are places better than where I came from. I honestly wouldn't mind living over there. "
Caitlyn N Illinois State University
"Absolutely. I learned more about myself and what I'm capable of. I'm more confident in so many ways. I achieved a lot of personal growth and I couldn't have asked for more. "

Julie B Wellesley College
"Challenging but worth it. Reshaped some of my views and understanding. Better educated in Japan's way of life and thinking. "
Michael D University of the Pacific
"I really enjoyed being in a foreign country and constantly learning something new everyday. After being placed in this situation, I feel more confident in going out and doing something on my own. Unfortunately, I felt like the semester wasn't enough, so I'm planning on returning to teach English after graduation."

Kelsey R Illinois State University
"Yes I learned a lot but I don't think that I would like to live in Paris again nor go to Sciences Po again (say for graduate study)."
Julieta C The University of Texas at Austin
"Greece was amazing! My only complaint would be that some of the coursework was not directly relevant to Greece, its culture, and/or its people. I feel the program would benefit from the inclusion of more outings based in Thessaloniki that would supplement and enhance lecture material. "
Megan T Georgia Southern University
"I was able to vastly improve my language skills and experience daily home life while in Japan. Since I am still studying abroad, I cannot wait to travel, love living with my family, and meeting new people. I wouldn't trade it for anything."
