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.

A student Wellesley College
"Although I might not choose to do this program again, knowing what I know, I do not regret having done it. It was certainly a growth experience that taught me that I can fairly easily adapt to difficult circumstances. I gained some language skills but most importantly, I was able to apply the things I had learned about Africa ba..."
A student University of San Francisco
"I learned to Really appreciate what we have as Americans "
raych92 Kansas State University

sarah.giles.1232 The University of Texas at Austin
"You get out what you put in. If you want to really learn the Italian language and culture, you have to go and find your own ways to do so because the school will only provide so much. Studying abroad really helps you to grow and you can learn so much about yourself and your own culture while being immersed in an entirely differe..."
A student University of the Pacific
"This experience helped me grow as an individual. I learned about a different culture as I was actually living in it, something that made it even more fascinating, and got to travel to places I had never had the opportunity to visit before. I can definitely see myself going back to Barcelona and even living there someday. "
A student Bentley University
"I learned a great deal for my future career and academic goals"

A student Wellesley College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned to be much more independent and how to navigate myself through foreign countries. I only had myself to depend on (and the friends I made there). It was the most meaningful experience I've had by far. "

A student Middlebury College
"I learned independence and to take risks."
A student Middlebury College
"My experience abroad was incredibly worthwhile, and has inspired me to want to live abroad in the coming years. I learned so much just from being on my own in a foreign city. I gained a lot of insight from being in the middle of the city and getting to experience all of the culture. "
Leigh N Wellesley College
"I gained a sense of self worth and independence. I was abroad for the first time without a 'program' or even friends and I thrived. I gained a new global perspective and went native. Overall, I'm glad that I didn't do the traditional study abroad experience. I got to truly know the place I was staying and I was able to fully..."
A student Wellesley College
"Learned so much about people from other countries, not just local students, but international students as well. Hong Kong is a great place to get your travel on, and great for food and sucking in culture; completely worthwhile."
victoria.montalvo The University of Texas at Austin
"Over the course of the trip I learned what I can handle and what I can't handle. I was able to clearly establish my comfort zone and stay within it with no guilt whatsoever. I only did what I was comfortable doing and I always moved at my own pace. I learned that it's ok to establish my own boundaries and stand by them. I also l..."
