Direct Enrollment/Exchange is a program provider offering 1872 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
"I will graduate John Cabot University (JCU) this coming May 2017, and could not be happier with my undergrad experience. JCU is more than just a four year university, it is a tight-knit community of diverse students and staff. Due to the small class size I received incredible one on one attention from professors, which helped me..."

"Beirut is safe, especially as an Asian woman I had qualms about a different experience that I may have than other White Americans or Europeans that made of the majority of online reviews of the AUB and Beirut experience. I was unaware of Beirut's own diversity which includes many people from Asia. Relative to New York City, wher..."
Audrey L Johns Hopkins University
"There are so many life lessons that I learned while I was abroad. It was definitely worthwhile. From the mistakes I made abroad, it made me realize that I need to be more cultured and be more open minded. It truly broadened my horizons, but I can't exactly say how or when it happened. "
Emily Kim Instituto Franklin-UAH
"My experience abroad was very life-changing. I grew up in a small town in a small state in the U.S. and it was my first time outside of the country.
