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, Costa Rica, Italy, and Ecuador.
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.

A student Wellesley College

A student University of Hartford
"While the academics and knowledge are there, I learned the most about myself. The time that I had to be away from home challenged me to become a better person and student and I greatly appreciate the opportunity that this experience gave me. "
A student Wellesley College
"Studying in Edinburgh for the year was the best decision I've made in my college career. I absolutely loved the city, the university, and the people. I learned how to be more independent, from cooking for myself to traveling alone to figuring out how to manage my own coursework and studying. Leaving Edinburgh was incredibly hard..."

"The most important idea I learned was that 'foreign' is a relative concept. People all across the world are just like you and have a culture that is interesting and unique."

A student Brandeis University
"I gained a new perspective on the world. I learned that friendships and relationships are more important and valuable than material possessions, as cliche as that sounds. I made friendships that I will have for the rest of my life, and I saw sights that I will never forget. Studying abroad opened my eyes to so much beyond my "sh..."
A student University of Saint Thomas - Houston
"I feel like I grew a lot as a person from experiencing the culture and living in a different place.

That having been said, I am extremely thankful for my personal experience, though I would not ..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned to be much more independent. I am thoroughly in love with Tel Aviv and am so grateful for the opportunity to have started an internship I loved and meet really wonderful Israelis.

A student Brandeis University
"I gained a lot of knowledge about living in London, something I would like to do later in life.

A student Middlebury College

"I learned more about being independent and street-smart. "
Caroline M Clark University - Worcester
"This experience made me grow as a person. I have a new perspective on life. Before going to London, I only saw NYC as the greatest city. Now I'm not so sure. Going to a new country by myself was scary at first, but by the end I felt like I could conquer anything. I am completely comfortable with traveling alone now. I have gaine..."

"It was worth my while in every way imaginable. I learned to be self-sufficient, how to live away from home, how to cook, how to travel by myself and really enjoy it. I learned to be happy while being alone and how to live in a city. I met people that gave me hope for my future and made me smile until my face hurt. I felt so much..."
Elise B Middlebury College
"I learned so much about this country, it's people, and it's landscape. I challenged myself in ways I never had the chance to before and it was absolutely worth it. I wouldn't have changed anything about my trip. I am so glad I tried new things and met so many amazing people, American and local. The people and the adventures ..."
