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.

"worthwhile! "
A student Middlebury College
"Gained a new international outlook and gained many new friends. Definitely worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to spend time by myself without feeling lonely, how to navigate a city, and how to attend classes that I'm not used to. I'm glad I did it, but I wouldn't recommend this program or even London in general. "
A student Middlebury College
"People are wonderful and mystical, and when you find your friends--- your *real* friends--- it's all worth it. "
Thomas S Middlebury College
"By studying abroad, I had the opportunity to see the world through a different perspective. I learned different learning styles of education such as observing different cultures, learning different languages, new career opportunities. Most importantly, I meet new friends and learned more about myself more than ever before."
Shalonda W Clark Atlanta University

A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I learned about differences in culture, history, and art. I learned so much about the subjects I study like new ways to write and new ways to think about Shakespeare. It was the most worthwhile experience of my life."
alyssa a Grand Valley State University
"While I had traveled a lot before study abroad, living in a different country for an extended period of time gave me the opportunity to learn from other people's perspectives on a much deeper level. I learned to be much more open-minded and as well as more culturally aware to both the differences and the similarities. One of the..."

"Many things about myself. And that Japan is much different than what I had imagined it, not necessarily in a good way. "
A student Berea College
"Best five months of my life! During my semester abroad, I became more independent, learned about Scottish culture, and made incredible friends that I'm sure I'll keep for the rest of my life. I fell in love with Scotland and the city of Edinburgh. I also loved traveling around Europe during breaks from school. Still, I was un..."
Allison L Wellesley College

"Independence and freedom "
A student Fairfield University
"The best parts of my experience had nothing to do with the program in which I was enrolled. It was the traveling around Europe and exploring London that made my experience worthwhile. I have learned that a lot of things do not go according to the original plan, but you need to take a step back and decide how you are going to f..."
A student Fairfield University
"This was definitely a worthwhile experience! You will learn a lot about yourself, but also a lot about how to deal with different education systems and cultures. Griffith is a very diverse school so if you interact with other exchange or study abroad students, then you will know someone from every corner of the world before you ..."
Jennifer M George Mason University
"I learned a lot about another culture and saw the world through a different lens. I had a great time, and going to İstanbul is certainly worthwhile. Turkey is overwhelmingly Muslim, which stands in stark contrast to any place I had ever been to before. It was nice being immersed in another culture where most people didn't speak ..."
A student Middlebury College
"I gained a lot of independence. I gained confidence in myself. I gained some new friends I will have for life. I learned how to handle myself in new and slightly scary situations. I learned how to overcome cultural barriers. "
Kali S University of Northern Iowa
"I learned a lot about myself as an individual. I consider myself to be very involved at my home university - music ensembles, soccer team, student organizations, etc. But while you are studying abroad you don't have all of that to fall back on and you are forced to make friends based on other and more real commonalities. I learn..."
A student University of Northern Iowa
