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.
Study Abroad with Direct Enrollment/Exchange

"I learned that people are the same no matter where they're from, but at the same time, Korean people are also still very different from American people...but learning about it and understanding it was amazing and I'm so glad I got to know so many people so well. And now I think I can use Korean if I need to, and it's enough to g..."
Cassie H Indiana University - Bloomington
"I learned an amazing amount about myself and what I want from life as well as just how much I can actually accomplish all on my own because I really was all alone at the start of the year.

"I gained an understanding and confidence in myself. I learned more about myself in 6 months abroad than in 3 years in University. I know I can overcome certain obstacles."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I definitely learned how to have a good attitude. "It is what you make of it." One of the Americans that went was really disappointed upon arriving. I think he made himself have a bad time by not wanting to meet new people or adjust to a different way of living. I think any situation can be turned around if you don't have so..."

"Yes! I had such a great time and it was an amazing break from Wellesley. I got to travel and see more of Europe and also visit my family in England. I made some amazing friends both from the U.K. and around the world. Everyone should go abroad! Don't be afraid of what you are missing at Wellesley. "
A student Wellesley College
"YES, so worthwhile! I found out that I love field geology and field mapping, and I got to hang out with future geologists/miners/oilfield engineers.

A student Wellesley College

"Nothing"
A student Barnard College
"I definitely grew a lot as a student and sharpened my writing, research, and analytical abilities a great deal.

I also gained a lot of insight into not just other cultures (and how they organize their societies, huge..."

"It was very worthwhile. It was just another trip that showed me that stereotypes are way off. The people were so warm and open. The hospitality is unmatched."
A student University of Northern Iowa
"The study abroad experience was the best thing I ever did. I learned a lot about myself, about how I react to tricky situations and how I deal under pressure. But I also learned how awesome other cultures are, and gained lots of insight into how the rest of the world views the US. I gained friends from all over the US and the wo..."
Amanda S University of Massachusetts, Amherst
"I learned a lot about myself, through my philosophy class which I loved, as well as through the experiences that I had and having to overcome these obstacles with none of my normal support system. I also feel like a learned a lot about the perspective of people from hundreds of years ago, due to the time spent in such an ancient..."
