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 now know to travel as much as I can, which sucks because of COVID. It was more than worthwhile."

"I mostly enjoyed the culture and food, but I also learned how Parisians live--everyday and overall, which prompted me to reevaluate how I live."
A student Wellesley College
"My classes were more theoretical compared to my home institution's classes, so it helped me become more skilled in proofs and foundational thinking. "
Ziyue Qian Wellesley College
"I learned a lot on basically everything, especially on living somewhat autonomously. The classes were good oftentimes, but force you to fend for yourself when it comes to learning, socializing, self-management and organization. It's a concussive but constructive experience."

Secondly, having to make friends and interact with peers during a pandemic was difficult, but it encouraged me to put myself out there and be more resilient. ..."
