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.

"What didn't I gain/learn from my experience? From little small things like a bow or greeting to large things like media exposure and conformity, it was a world which was very opposite from the one in which I came from."
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I can now confidently say I am bilingual, and I have a much deeper understanding of Spanish/Galician history and culture (both through my classes and through conversations with my friends.

"no"
A student Middlebury College
"I gained a lot of academic independence, American Universities felt like they held my hand to a laughable degree after getting used to Sciences Po.

Sofia Xargay Wellesley College
"This specific program was great to go to during the spring semester because they take the month of April off for studying and Easter. This was perfect time to travel while having a home base in England. I wrote most of my papers while in class so I was prepared to come back for the May exam period. I loved the way I was able to ..."
