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, Venezuela, The United Kingdom, and Ireland.
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.

Amy S Bentley University
"I learned to always keep an open mind in the Philippines, especially when people criticized American behavior and politics. By taking an international law and international relations class, I learned that it's not right to force ideas on other countries. As a result, corruption and chaos emerges because of countries imitating an..."
Donna M Fordham University
"It was worth it and more. I did and learned things I never thought I would. These are the best time in your life to travel, take advantage of it. You learn so much about different countries and people but also about yourself. You're forced to be outside of your normal comfort zone which only helps you grow as a person."
Andrea Z Illinois State University
"I needed to be in an entirely different culture to learn the secret- that despite differences in ancestry, language, history, and religion, human beings are pretty much the same wherever they might be. This trip was the best experience of my life and I highly recommend it to future study abroad applicants!"
A student Bentley University
"It was a cool experience, I preferred traveling to staying in the school. "

Lyndsey J Illinois State University
"It was completely worthwhile because I learned more about myself and about learning, but I felt that this was more from personal development from my own initiative than from the academic program itself. After this semester, although I learned much from it, I felt I could have made more use of my time by choosing a program more t..."

The overall experience was certainly worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
