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
"Studying abroad was so worthwhile. While there were some bad days when I got homesick I did love the experience. Living in a foreign country gives you an unique perspective that you wouldn't get from just visiting. It enhanced my feeling that my major is right for me and that I'm on the right track."
Colleen J University of North Dakota
"Though I wasn't particularly happy while I was abroad, I learned invaluable lessons about how cruel people can be. I also met friends who were learning the same lesson alongside me, and I am so grateful that I had them through this experience. There are things I would have done differently if I could do it all over again, but ..."
Anna G Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned all about the Western Australian culture, some politics, geography, and wildlife. I would love to go back and learn more! Words cannot explain the trip justly, the only way is to experience it yourself."
Sarah V University of North Dakota
"My study abroad certainly benefitted me from an academic standpoint, in terms of my satisfaction with the coursework I enrolled in. The program was not as immersed in the British culture, which was somewhat upsetting given my intentions for studying abroad. "

A student
"yes, I really loved my experience abroad. I feel like I learned so much and I got what I wanted from this trip. However, I feel like my academic adviser did not prepare me too well. Academic advisers should be more prepared to assist students in choosing which classes to take. "
Lisa Y University of California - Riverside
"Going to Tasmania was a huge learning experience for me. I really was able to come out of my shell and do so many things I never thought I would do. I feel like I've grown as a person, gained a better appreciation of different cultures, and really learned that I am strong and independent, and can adapt to any environment I end u..."

Senta K Wellesley College
"I grew to be very independent and found that I am much more resilient and adaptable then I thought. I know that after this experience, I will be able to handle any situation reasonably. I have also gained the international experience that could present opportunities in the future where I will be able to use the conversational sk..."
