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.

"Learned a lot about being self sufficient and using resources available to figure things out."
A student Wellesley College
"One of the best decisions I made while in Seoul was to actively seek out a new experience every weekend, whether it be to go hiking, see a show, or just explore a new area of the city. Along with that, while living off campus was not planned it did provide me with a feeling of further immersion within the city. I was able to est..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to embrace the challenge of each day and find a way to conquer it. I realized that I won't have any days that I can simply turn on auto pilot and just live. I needed to find new ways to live every day and for a while that was frustrating, however I eventually realized that this situation wasn't permanent and eventu..."

jamiek Wellesley College
"I learned more about independence and being more self-sufficient. The academics and international student body also provided me with new perspectives from which I can approach my studies."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about Gothic art (one of my two classes), as well as a lot about London and British culture. Overall I loved my time abroad, especially the traveling part of it, but did not feel totally fulfilled by my academic experience. Most of my favorite experiences came from time outside of class, exploring London and trav..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned so much about Māori and New Zealand culture. I also learned about some ways in which the United States can improve, especially in education."
A student Wellesley College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. Not only was I able to study and live with local students, I was able to travel to cities in the UK and Europe. It was incredible learning about the English culture, and I would do it all over again if I could!"
A student University of Maine - Orono
"This study abroad was most definitely worthwhile. The friendships, time management, and travel skills I learned while I was abroad are irreplaceable. I also learned a lot from my courses. The opportunity to be integrated into a culture and to experience life on the other side of the ocean was unbelievable and will rank as one of..."

A student Wellesley College
"I learende how to live and travle alone and to become more indepentend "
Mackenzie Joy University of Maine - Orono
"I learned how to live on my own, cook for myself, make friends in a foreign country, travel on my own and manage my own expenses. This was also especially worthwhile because of all the free access to museums. "
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a work ethic. I gained a sense of how to assert myself against hard-headed powers to get basic information that I needed. On a positive note, I gained some life-long friends as well. Overall, I would say the friendships and travel experiences made it worthwhile, but the biggest drawback was the university itself."
A student Birmingham-Southern College
"I learned I can travel by myself (definitely recommend). "
Rachael The University of Texas at Austin

Alexandra Craig University of San Francisco
"Absolutely worthwhile. I believe my other responses explain why."
A student Davidson College

A student The University of Texas at Austin
