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 learned that in order to efficiently get around in New Zealand you must have a car. It is a pain to work with the bus systems and many hiking spots are off main roads. New Zealand needs to work on implementing more sustainable travel systems."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about myself in terms of my own mental health and interests. I'd say it was worthwhile because I was able to travel a lot, and because I loved Edinburgh. The program was just fine, but the city is amazing and I feel lucky to have been able to live there. "
A student Wellesley College
"As cliche as it sounds, I think I learned the most about other cultures through mere exposure effect. I tried my hardest to visit as many places as possible, and I loved learning about the culture and history of each place. I also took classes that weren't offered at my home university, so it was really cool to learn about topic..."

"Because the professors of the Chinese classes only taught in Chinese, I was forced to learn more words and gain confidence in using Chinese more often."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile as I think living in a completely different environment for 6 months is quiet difficult if you are not a student. Learned that there are so many other experiences and areas that I did not not know about. I think experiencing different culture is very important because it really open oneself's spectru..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to navigate a new city and a new country on my own through the lens of public transportation, as I have only ever really been used to traveling by car in the context of American roads and regulations. I learned more about the French language and culture. It was most definitely worthwhile."

A student Middlebury College
"It helped put things into perspective for me and gave me total independence in a way I've never had before. It helped me a lot with my own identity, especially since I am of German heritage. I am much more confident with traveling and planning things out, and I learned a lot about how countries outside of the US operate. I also ..."
