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 The University of Texas at Austin
"Being in a foreign country is not as intimidating as I originally thought. We are all still people and it is easy enough to communicate without knowing the language. That being said, my language skills skyrocketed. I am much more skilled than I was when I first arrived. I feel like I could have been leaps and bounds better, thou..."
A student University of Maine at Orono

Ben B University of Northern Iowa
"Saying the program was amazing is an understatement. It changed a lot of lives for the better. You learn a lot about yourself getting out of your comfort zone and exploring a new place, but it was also so familiar and homey. Who does not want to live by the beach, shop local artists, and eat fresh food every day with people who ..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to be more adventurous and to take advantage of everything offered to me. "
Anne E Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile in a sense and not so much in others. I wish I had more support but I think the lack of it was a silver lining because it allowed a lot of time for myself and I really got to know my strengths and capabilities and forced me to confront myself in hard situations. "
Nisrine A Wellesley College
"I engaged in another culture socially, academically, and physically. It was worthwhile because I learned so much from this experience. "
Kate S Regent’s University London
"Definitely gave me a taste of what a UK college would have been like for me. It was far too short to fully integrate, however I feel as though I got what I wanted from the program itself. "
Brodie M Wellesley College
"I gained a newfound confidence in my ability to adapt to different situations, and also the savoir faire to navigate large cities. UCL pushed me out of my comfort zone in terms of it being such a large institution, but I was able to navigate the school without feeling lost or disconnected. It was very worth it, and I've decide..."
A student Wellesley College
"Time management and independence. The UK system is very different than that in the States. You have to study by your own and plan a ahead, since there are no midterms and nearly no assignments in the first two semesters. "
Xu G Brandeis University
"I gained so much from being abroad. Everything from new experiences and trying new foods, to really improving my proficiency in Spanish. Being abroad was very worthwhile. I was able to experience the Argentine culture first hand and spend a lot of time trying new things, exploring who I am. I made Argentine friends that invited ..."

Natacha B Brandeis University
"how to get out of my comfort zone. YES"
A student John Carroll University
"Academic wise, I learned about local culture. Especially from taking an Archeology module that included field trips to local sites and castles. Though my program was 'study abroad' most of my studying came from experiencing things I would never be able to here in the U.S. 90% of what I learned came from the moments outside of th..."
A student University of Maine at Orono

A student University of Northern Iowa
"Too much to put into words."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about how Israeli universities function versus American universities. I learned a lot about the Israeli culture in general, and I learned about a bunch about the different perspectives on the conflict, which was interesting. Also, the people were AWESOME. "
A student Brandeis University
"I think it was definitely worthwhile. I really enjoyed experiencing a new culture and a new education system. I especially appreciated being able to travel frequently and see alot of Europe as well. "
