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 University of Northern Iowa

A student University of Northern Iowa
"I learned more of a language. I made lifelong friends. I had the experience of living completely on my own and being somewhere I might never be again. It was completely worthwhile. "
A student School of Visual Arts
"Yes, it was great. It was my first time living completely away from my family (I live at school, but close enough that I could go home if I need to), and I found that I had no problem with it. Going somewhere far away alone teaches you that you can be self reliant and do things on your own that you previously relied on others fo..."
A student The College of New Jersey

A student Baylor University
"My experience abroad was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I learned so much about different cultures and the people in them.

Kristen H University of Westminster
"I feel like I learned a lot about local culture and the Pacific island culture. It also helped me step out of my comfort zone a lot and allowed me to meet some really awesome people. It was definitely worthwhile and I would do a semester abroad again in a heartbeat, if I could!"
A student University of Connecticut
"Culture, a new perspective, definitely worthwhile."
A student American College Greece

Leah F Wellesley College
"From associating with Irish culture, I've learned how to relax. I also better appreciate the academics at my home university, though it was of great academic value for me to see another perspective on my own discipline in Ireland. Being an international student was interesting also because it made me understand the way internati..."
