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.

""My three-week experience proved I had unlimited capabilities: communicating in LIS with the Italian Deaf community, negotiating English and Italian with my host family, and a yearning to learn more about the global Deaf-World. Every Deaf-World has different histories with different events, but the results of these reflected ma..."

Jackson W University of Maine at Orono
"In Canterbury, I got to experience English small-city life firsthand. London is a lot like other big cities, and although it does retain that Englishness, there's nothing like living in what is essentially a small city in the countryside. I think about Canterbury every day and miss it and I would eventually love to live in Engla..."

Heather H Auburn University
"Absolutely."
Lucy B Wellesley College
"Definitely not "a waste of time.""

"This study abroad was worthy for me and my life in so many levels.

"I have changed exponentially after my study abroad experience. I am now much more open and tolerant and excited to try new things. Spain put my life into perspective and taught me that there is more to life than a good grade and making money. I am now taking a year off between under graduate and law school because of Spain and m..."

Deborah H Pennsylvania State University - University Park
"Well, number one, I've learned how to appreciate food more. It has influenced how I cook my food and how I shop. I don't eat much processed food now. Number two, I see how Italians really appreciate their families so that helped me to reflect on my interaction with my family and focused on my family values. I study sign language..."
Joseph H Gallaudet University
"I learned a great deal about Ireland and Irish culture. It also was interesting to look at parts of Irish society and see how they are similar or different to the US. It gave me a new understanding on a lot of social and international issues as well. "

"It changed the way I think, I won't every think about the world in the way I did before Africa. That's too worthwhile to me. "
Grant I University of California - Merced
"I could have pushed myself more academically, but especially through exploring the city by myself and interacting with locals and other students, I felt accepted in a subtly different way and learned how to really approach the mix of cultural differences and similarities - with honesty and friendliness. At first, I confess that ..."

"Absolutely worthwhile. I wouldn't trade this educational and cultural experience for anything."
