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.
Study Abroad with Direct Enrollment/Exchange
"It provided me with new perspectives, learning what it was like to live abroad for an extended period of time and getting to do what the locals do rather than just visiting touristy attractions. It was extremely worthwhile and I look forward to having the chance to go back one day!"

A student National University of Singapore / NUS
"Ever since I was 12 I have been living and studying overseas, so it wasn't my first time going abroad. However it was my first time going to a country in East Asia, and going by myself. For a few years I have been interested in Korea; it started with the music, progressed into media (tv and film) and then the fashion (which is m..."

Amber Allen University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
"It was never enough to just listen to stories about how a country and her people and culture are. Being there to experience it yourself allows you to view it through your own lenses.While travelling, I got to see amazing sights that I won’t back home. It was definitely worthwhile. "
Khoo Chong Wee National University of Singapore / NUS

"It has been my dream to go to Paris. It did not disappoint. I learned that traveling is truly exhausting and will challenge the very core of your being.

A student Eastern Illinois University
"I learned that Costa Rica is a gem of a country. The people, the culture, and the natural life are really incredible. I also learned a good amount Spanish that you would not necessarily learn in a classroom, especially colloquialisms. This program was definitely worth every penny. "

"Studying abroad was the most difficult thing I have ever done but I am so happy I did it. I learned how to navigate through unfamiliar areas without technology. I learned more about other cultures.

A student Middlebury College

Bailey Mitchell Eastern Illinois University
"I absolutely loved Italy, learned a lot about myself, and learned a lot about travel."

"The intensive design experience was a perfect technical supplement to my liberal arts undergraduate education."
A student Middlebury College
"Yes, it was absolutely worthwhile. I think the biggest thing that I learned from the program is to always take the time to appreciate the world and people, no matter how busy I am. It's so easy back home to get caught up with work and just forget about living, but in London, I couldn't ignore that."
A student Truman State University

Living in Japan (despite naturally encountering daily stressors) gave me a really wonderful peaceful feeling. Also, I learned a lot about the culture and their art, finding inspiration from my experiences and Japanese a..."
