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
"I understood that I can live in a large city and adapt to living alone. I loved hearing about politics from all over Europe and seeing how a foreign government works. "

Sarah Eileen S University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I am not really sure. I paid the same amount of money as I do when I am at Barnard, but I really didn't feel like I got the education or the resources Barnard provides."
Eloise R Barnard College
"I gained a lot of self confidence and became more independent. This experience really put my world view in focus and opened up my eyes to how things are different back home, both good and bad."
Mariah K Pacific Lutheran University
"Yes, it was nice to get to know a new city so well. I now know that American professors point out connections for students whereas British professors expect the student to come up with those connections and use them to learn more."

Caroline O Goucher College
"I think I learned to relax a little bit more. "
Christopher T Goucher College
"Studying abroad is the best experience I've had in my life so far. I learned so much about Chinese culture and I eventually learned to think like a Chinese person. Going to China also helped me to see that I do want to live and work in China at some point in my future. Going abroad really helped me to act independently and I lea..."
Meredith F Trinity University
"I was able to completely experience the life of a typical Australian. Although I didn't experience a language barrier, I still felt like I had to learn a completely different language while I was there. Names, slang, and the accent all took their toll on me and I can see how different countries think differently. I was able to s..."

Adreanne S The College of William and Mary
"I learned more about myself on this adventure than anything. Completely alone in a new place, I learned more and more about my own ablities and the country from which my ancestors came.

"Definitely!"

"Literally the best experience in my life. I look back on it almost daily. It has been 5 years!"

Kaitlyn B University of Memphis
"it was worthwhile, but cost too much"
AnnaRose W St. Cloud State University
"Because of studying abroad, I knew that I liked living abroad. After graduating, I taught English in Korea for a year, then worked as an editor in Taiwan for a year. I'm still open to the possibility of working abroad again. Australia was the gateway to all my traveling."
Megan K San Jose State University
"Amazing!!!!"
Gladys s San Jose State University

omanfall2010 Wellesley College
"I now plan on double majoring in English and Jewish Studies instead of majoring in English with a minor in Middle Eastern Studies. I am now both more interested in and fearful of politics."
Anna17 Wellesley College
"My Study Abroad Experience was definitely worthwhile, because it helped me mature as a person and student, but it also helped achieve my dream--which was to become fluent in the German language. As a result of my success abroad, I plan to return in September 2011 to start business school and "
