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.

"Perspective on where America stands in the world and how big the world truly is."
Brian D Bentley University
"I learned a lot about culture and about myself. If you don't CHOOSE to get out and do what you want, you'll run out of time. Now that I understand more of the language and more about the culture, I'd be able to communicate better and not have people afraid to talk to me because they fear they won't understand me..."

"I can survive and adapt anywhere I go either in a country that speaks English or one that can't.

A student St. Mary's College of Maryland
"My experience abroad was very worthwhile. I learned what it is like to live in a country other than the United States.

I feel more free and able to accompl..."

"The program wasn't probably worthwhile in the end for me, I live abroad already so studying at Bentley was already kind of studying abroad for me. I had an amazing time at Bond, and had fun while I was there. But the expenses wouldn't make me do it again."
