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
"Prior to arriving, I didn't know much about Okinawa, but living there for 5 months was a worthwhile experience. It's very different from mainland Japan and has a different history. Coming from Hawaii, I can say that Okinawa and its people are similar but still have their own type of living style as it is still part of Japan. I w..."

"Qualities I learned, definitely would be that there is more to life than the materialistic things back at home and I got a huge understanding and a new perspective of how big the world really is.

"My experienced abroad has changed my interests to think on a global scale for my photography business and think bigger. A lot of the friendships I've made overseas I consider close friends.

"I loved being in Joburg. I had an amazing experience, but it was not my specific program that catered my experience for me. I had to figure it out on my own and I had to work through a lot of frustration in order to appreciate my experience. "

I went to law school following my undergraduate career and studied abroad again in law school. My experi..."
Whitney H University of Massachusetts Amherst
"It was very worthwhile! I learned a lot about the Italian culture 1st hand. I learned things that you just can't learn from a book. I grew as a person and strengthened my friendships with many of my friends even while being so far away from them. In the end I didn't want to go home!"
Suzy M John Carroll University
"I've become more open-minded, and more prone to taking risks. It has made me a braver and more outgoing person (from living by myself, figuring out how to live on my own, all while knowing that John Cabot would be supporting me if something were to go wrong). "
