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
"VERY worthwhile. I gained an appreciation and respect of other cultures that I didn't have before. Studying abroad has made me want to work overseas in the future. "
Lauren B Illinois State University
"It was an outstanding experience. It is what you make it. Don't rely on the administrators to walk you through having the best time abroad. You have to do it yourself."
BABAK A Pepperdine University
"The international study experience was extremely beneficial as I acquired knowledge and information abroad which could not be taught in any classroom. The quality of education was a little behind my US university, but as a whole I felt I learned more during this semester than I ever have. I have a new perspective of the world ..."
Zachary S Illinois State University
"Learned cultures from all over the world. Made friends that I will cherish forever. "
Derek B St. Cloud State University

Meghan E Pepperdine University
"I loved my abroad experience so much that when I graduated from college I moved back to Puebla for another two years. While I was abroad, I learned another language and I fell in love with another culture. This has impacted the career and personal choices I have been making. "
A student Oberlin College
"I gained knowledge about England and Ireland. "
Kristen P Illinois State University
"My academic focus has always put an emphasis on East Asia and I feel well-equipped and determined to continue that focus. I felt well-prepared before going to China. The program took good care of me as I adjusted and learned cultural nuances. And, I had a good experience that unfortunately was too short."
Aaron L The College of William and Mary
"It was without a doubt worthwhile. I hope I have the opportunity to return to Rome one day. I learned so much about the Italian culture and language while I was there. We made Italian friends, so beside learning about the culture we had the opportunity to live in it. I definitely feel more mature and well-rounded after living in..."

Joseph K Western Washington University
"Yes. I learned to be more open-minded and gained new perspective."

"My time in New Zealand was awesome. It wasn't as eye opening as a place such as India due to the obvious differences India has from a Western culture. Yet, NZ still had its differences to offer that opened new ways of living that will help me associate with a broader group of people in the future."

Samantha G Western Washington University
"It was incredible."
Ryan W Illinois State University
"I wouldn't change my experience for the world. It is a cliche statement, but it is so true. I loved all of my experience.

The experience real..."
Blair L Austin College
"Yes, of course! Cultural relativism. It was an amazing experience and a great opportunity to meet new people, challenge myself to try new things, meet new people, and strive academically. It has also made me appreciate the United States as well, and all of our silly amenities and leisure. "
