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.
Study Abroad with Direct Enrollment/Exchange

I now approach problems and issues here in my American life with a different perspective and a greater love for life itself. Australia was exactly the wake up call I needed about life's joys and complexities, and I definitely bel..."

"I gained a deeper insight on what I want to do in life and my next step in my academic career. I also learned so much about Japanese culture that I would never had learned if I did not go to Japan.

"I now have a great appreciation and passion for traveling. We traveled a lot over the semester, and I think that is what I grew the most from as a person.

"Amazing adventures with the boys"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned mostly about my strengths and weakness for real; what I cared about it life, who should I allow in my space, and learning how sometimes you just have to let go of your inhibitions. I more so learned about life in general than I did structured education sitting in a classroom all day! "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Study abroad is different for everyone. It forces you into difficult new situations where you can't rely on old habits. You have to think outside the box and discover who you are. But every person's experience will be different. I believe study abroad has made me a very strong person. You will be shocked how much your life can c..."
