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.

Margaret W Towson University
"I loved going abroad because I learned about Anthropology which I never had done before in school and I learned about myself. Living with strangers for a extended period of time helps you learn about yourself and things you need to change in your life. "

Michael H Villanova University
"Yes, I learned independence, time management, and friendship. It was a school focused on English. I was able to figure out my thesis project based on the modernism class I took. "
Salena C Middlebury College
"Incredible. I could write a book about it."
Thomas R Middlebury College
"Yes, I made it amazing and worth while but Villanova and Queen Mary did not assist me nearly enough and I regret going to that school."
Emily I Villanova University
"My study abroad experience was great I experienced a huge disapointment with my home school. When I decided to stay another semester they were not very responsive when I tried to e mail them with questions. At first they were, but after the initial e mail about what I need to do, they ignored my e mails and I wouldn't get any re..."
Laura O University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I got a once in a lifetime chance to attend a large foreign university, meet new people, and travel to amazing places. I got to see the US from an Australian point of view and I find that very useful now that I am back home. It is exactly as advertised, a great experience."
Thomas D Middlebury College
"I am now interested in potentially moving to London and working there. It was nice to have so much independence, and London is a great and vibrant city, with so many opportunities. "
Gillian P Middlebury College
"Yes it was worthwhile, I loved the friends I made I just really did not enjoy the school."
Elizabeth P University of Maine at Orono
"Yes, absolutely!"
Chelsea H Towson University
"I really enjoyed it, but it was difficult to live with a host mother. I never felt comfortable in my living situation. That was really the only downfall, and that can be easily fixed. I feel that the experience just reaffirmed my academic interests!"
Amanda K The University of Texas at Austin
"Everything was worthwile to do, even getting to do not so fun things or experience. I believe that any experience, either good or bad, will stay as memories that are going to be with you for ever. If I have would have the chance to go again in an exchange program, I would do it no questions asked. Probably since I already was i..."
Joshua A University of Texas - Arlington
"It was among the best experiences of my life. If I had to do it again, I would have enrolled via a study abroad provider, like CIEE, since their program administration helps you avoid the hassles I encountered prior to arrival. I also would have lived with my friends if possible. Otherwise, I'd return in a heartbeat."
Jacob P Tufts University
"Yes."
Lauren C Kansas State University
"It gives you a perspective on yourself and the world that you had never expected to gain (nor knew you were lacking). Limit your contact with fellow Americans and surround yourself with locals and other internationals; it'll pay off for you in more ways than can be explained here."
Michael R University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I learned to be much more independent and self-reliant. I was used to living on my own, which I think made a big difference in my experience -- I knew how to cook and supply myself adequately. I learned I don't really like cities, large universities, or being alone all that much, which is great to know; I also gained a lot of c..."
Genevieve G Wellesley College
"Yes it was the best decision I ever made and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can't wait to get back to Europe and experience even more cultures and lifestyles. "
Leah P Kansas State University
"This was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I not only made good friends, but I got to experience a completely different way of life that is so much slower and thoughtful than my own I feel. I loved the food and the people. The entire experience was amazing. "
Nicole S University of Oregon
"Time of my life."
Matt S University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"It really helps to see that there are other worlds and cultures out there very different from ours. It also gave me the a bit of the travel bug...and I know want to see and experience everything the world has to offer. The whole program changed me for the better!"
Erica T Illinois State University
"It changed my cultural awareness in a big way. You don't realize so many things about other cultures until you leave. You also get to see how people from other countries view Americans. There are some countries that are brought up only knowing the bad things about the US and have a certain type of person in their mind. They are ..."
Kelsey Jo A University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I definitely do not regret the choice to study abroad, just the choice of program. Getting to live in a different country for a semester was fantastic."
Taylor P Illinois State University
"Yes, as much as I loved it, it also made me appreciate what I have here at home even more. "
Jeremy B Towson University
"My study abroad experience was 100% worthwhile. I would not have changed the program I selected, the city I choose, the people I met, or how I spent the 4 months abroad the way I did for ANYTHING in the world. "
