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.

Harold L University of Maine - Orono
"i learned that i want to live in London. "
A student Bentley University
"I learned how to maintain composure while travelling in a foreign country, how to be culturally sensitive, and that I need to spend more time outside of my own country. It was entirely worthwhile, and I am looking forward to my next opportunity to travel abroad!"
A student University of Montana-Missoula

Zane S University of Maine at Orono

Miranda B The University of Texas at Austin
"I made many friends, some who I didn't know from Bentley and many from all over the world. Learning with and about people from different countries and backgrounds on a whole new level than Bentley was incredible. I would do the program again in a heartbeat"
A student Bentley University
"I made a lot of new friends. The UK education is very different from US, its a little more strict and requires a lot more writing."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about how I interact with people in different political settings and I gained a lot more confidence in handling hostility."
A student Brandeis University
"The education was very useful and interesting in the sense that it was presented in a different fashion than usual. Usually, a course about Modern History would aim to envelop a more American-centric focus; however, it was interesting to be in courses where America was not even mentioned once. It was very worthwhile to see this ..."

A student Berea College
"Going on the language intensive program, I definitely gained confidence in Chinese. However, more than the language, the experience was valuable because of the people that I met and the exposure to a culture and society that shaped how I thought about things and the direction I want to head in in terms of future goals and career..."
Jeanne K Northwestern University
"the history was worth it"
A student Carroll College
"This program was 100% worthwhile. I would love to do it again. I gained the knowledge of experiencing another culture firsthand.

This program will stick with me and many of my decisi..."
Kayla R Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Prescott campus

"It was absolutely worthwhile. I have gained only wonderful things from this program. My friends and family have noticed—I am a more confident, self-assured person. I've always been adventurous and loved to travel, but never able to visit another country, and my year abroad was everything I hoped it would be. My priorities and go..."
