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.

Ydalia C Brandeis University
"Sant'Anna did an amazing job making their students feel at home in Sorrento. This was undoubtably the best 5 weeks of my life. The town is beautiful and the people are extremely friendly. The host family could not have been more accommodating and made us all feel like we were part of their family. My only regret is that the prog..."
Peter Malkin Wake Forest University
"I gained a better understanding of myself, and how I am capable of living in a new place on my own. It was worthwhile, and while these are probably not the best four month of my life, they were definitely four months that I will never forget. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to live in a huge, international city. I learned how to get through a very tough situation while alone. I learned a lot about myself, like that I shouldn't move to a foreign country where I don't know a single person. These are worthwhile lessons, but at a steep cost."
A student Wellesley College
"During my study abroad year, I was able to immerse in the new culture and make many new friends, with whom I was able to make valuable memories. I really liked living in the city of Oxford where I not only enjoyed working in many different libraries and visiting museums but also simply walking around and exploring the city. In t..."

A student McGill University

A student Middlebury College
"Love, compassion, and tolerance/acceptance for all things. South Africa Study Abroad redefined my definition of happiness and internal peace. The true method of knowledge is experiment. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile and I learned to be more independent by living on my own and studying in a whole new university/city/country."
A student Middlebury College
"Go out and explore on your own! Push yourself to try new things and meet new people, but also remember that abroad does not have to be the best semester of your college career, and you still need to take care of yourself! I met some great people, but also spent a lot of time exploring alone and learned a lot about myself."
A student Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile. I learned a lot about how to live in a city (from a rural/suburban area). I gained some really close friends, although they are mostly American. I was able to travel a bit which I had not been able to do before studying abroad. I also learned how to take my education into my own hands."
A student Wellesley College
"Perspective, patience, confidence, and faith in other people."
A student University of Massachusetts Amherst / UMass
"It was definitely worthwhile! I got to explore different subjects while going more specific into my own major. I also had the luck of a long spring break (6 weeks -- an Oxford privilege!) so it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me to go travelling around Europe. "
A student Wellesley College
"I feel like I gained more independence and could live on my own. I gained some amazing friends through the process both International, local, and American. I learned how to take public transportation and I'm really proud of that."

"I became much more confident in my language skills and hope to build upon them more. I learned how many things in the country work, such as the subway, phone service, postal system, etc. "
A student Berea College
"Although I was prepared to experience culture shock, I was amazed by how much I learned about the country and its people, and how they perceived the U.S. Having grown up in the U.S., I would say that Aotearoa New Zealand is not that different from the U.S. in many aspects. I am also grateful to have learned so much about the Māo..."
A student California State University - Humboldt State University
"I learned how to adult. Fliegebombe, (unexploded WWII bomb) on the train line, everybody out? No problem, I'll just get out, take the Bad Endorf bus to Rosenheim, and be at Munich East in time for my flight. I wouldn't have been able to figure that out last year. Also my German is pretty good now. "
Carlie Goode The College of New Jersey
"In my year away, I became a stronger analytical thinker and critical writer. I gained a lot of confidence in my writing skills as well. Beyond the academic, I definitely became a lot more independent as a person and comfortable being in situations I'm unfamiliar with. Though I didn't end up bonding with many local students, I ne..."
