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
"It absolutely was eye opening. I have always been a very open person but this made me even more patient than before. I learned very quickly that I can do anything because I had too do everything for myself in an area where english is limited. Even better, I grew to love my own country of the USa even more. I know US history bett..."

"I have planned on study abroad since I applied for college, and Spain was always my first choice so this experience was something I was looking forward to for years!

Sara J SUNY - College at Brockport
"My study abroad experience was amazing. The academics were great and I enjoyed my time in the classroom, but I think had I to do it over again, I would have applied directly to Giessen for my degree program, and not done an exchange."
Christina K Kansas State University
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much more fluency in the language by being totally immersed in it, and I was able to put my education into use. Living in Buenos Aires was just like living in any big city in the United States except everyone spoke another language- it made me think, or at least consider more, of living ..."

Ana V The University of Texas at Austin
"My time abroad was worthwhile in the sense that it made me realize that I do not want to live in Japan, rather than finding out after signing a multi year contract with a Japanese firm. Other than that though, I was disappointed by my program and cannot recommend it to future students. "

"The freedom and exhilaration of being where I always wanted to be, doing what I wanted to do under the beautiful Australian sun was great and well worth the wait.

Micah L The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained independence and confidence in myself from doing this program. I also gained an understanding of Korean culture and East Asia in general that I did not have before.

Kelsey G Fordham University
"My abroad experienced made me realize how valuable cultural exchange is, and how necessary it is to be in the country to truly learn the language and to understand the people. There is so much to discover and experience; there are similarities and differences between countries and it is helpful to consider both to better underst..."

It has changed my outlook on the world..."
Christina L University of Missouri - Columbia
