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.

"Different approaches to academics, new paradigms, writing style and independent study. At times frustrating with the school's registrar and admin work, but overall a good and rigorous experience at one of France's best universities. "
A student Wellesley College
"The most valuable thing I learned during my abroad experience was learning to be independent. Navigating a large city on my own and exploring unknown things really helped me learn that. It was definitely worthwhile because not only did I experience living like a Londoner but I also got to visit 7 other major European cities in t..."

"I learned more from the people I met and the time I spent traveling than I learned in the classroom. My advice to anybody going abroad is to not stress school and to embrace what a unique opportunity study abroad is, I wish I could do it again. It was absolutely worthwhile."

"Ultimately, people can connect well, regardless of their cultural differences. In fact, differences make the relationship more dynamic and interesting."
A student Wellesley College
"This program provided me with the opportunity to not only immerse myself into a brand new culture, but also the chance to work in a new environment, country, and setting under a completely different atmosphere. This was definitely worthwhile. Not many people can say they had the chance to participate in a study abroad experien..."

"How to not panic when getting lost in the city "
Emily J St. Mary's College of Maryland
"I gained a lot of experience being independent. I was responsible for paying rent, making my own food, planning trips, and setting up things like phone service and bank accounts. All of these are incredibly valuable skills I will continue to use "
A student St. Mary's College of Maryland
"The best thing I got out of my study abroad experience was really gaining another perspective. Because all of the classes I took were taught in English, the classes were composed of mostly international students. One of my classes was a weekly three-hour discussion about global issues and ethical thinking. Until now, I have o..."
Hannah L The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to be very independent and to learn my way around a new city, which also happened to be the second largest city in the world. It was an incredible experience and I learned a lot about Turkish culture- especially through the incredible hospitality and kindness the locals showed me. This was an incredible life experi..."

A student Rollins College
"Yes, by far one of the best experiences of my life."
A student Wellesley College
"UCL is ideal location-wise for London - choose UCL if your goal is to explore London. The professors are hit or miss, as are the classes... I was bummed that my Political Science classes consisted of only Americans. Also, I took fantastic art history and history courses at UCL that involved field trips to London museums - these ..."

"I gained social skills, a sense of self-worth and self-appreciation. Most importantly I found the most amazing friends ever!"
Huma B Austin College
"I think I learned to appreciate the resources I have at Middlebury a lot more. It was really good to get away from Middlebury, both the school and the city/town for a bit; I needed to spend some time away from it. I also met a flatmate who I still talk to every day so I am thankful that through some power + luck, I was placed in..."
A student Middlebury College
"It was worth it and I learned a lot but I wish I had done a program, rather than direct enrolment in a university, where there was much less of a support system and the housing situation was not ideal"
A student Middlebury College
"I grew as a person and as a student during my time abroad and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world."
A student University of North Carolina
