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.

"Not really."
Bethany W Villanova University
"Out of all the possible Chinese cities to go to with no language skills, Shanghai is the most accommodating to foreigners. I enjoyed my experience and would love to go back but wouldn't spend as long of a time in the city since it was so western. "

"SO worthwhile."
A student Bentley University

"Independence. Definitely worthwhile."
A student Illinois State University
"Overall, I think I learned to ask questions. Learning about different cultures is fascinating, but talking to the people who live these different cultures every day was one of the best things I will take back with me. The experience was more than worthwhile. "
Jacqueline K The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about myself in terms of how to overcome difficulties that I used to depend on others to help me with. NZ is a generally safe and easy country in which to travel, so I learned how to travel and hike alone which helped me realize that I could be more independent than I had been at Midd. This experience also helped..."

A student Illinois State University
"Despite Scotland being an English-speaking country I still went through culture shock and feel like I got such a different educational and cultural experience while there. It was easy to travel, but there were also endless things to do in Edinburgh, so I was constantly exploring and experiencing new things."
A student Wellesley College
"worthwhile! what i learned is a bit ambiguous and hard to explain, but I definitely benefitted and grew."
Kiley S Barnard College
"100% WORTHWHILE. It was tough deciding if I was going to stay for a year. To be honest, I miss Wellesley everyday- it truly is a wonderful place, and we are getting an unparalleled experience by living and learning there. That being said, I also love Edinburgh, but it is different, and I think that when going into any study ..."
