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.

While on these exchanges you will e..."
Jordan L University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I gained much more than I thought I would. There was many aspects of Japanese culture that I did not realize I had no clue about; but by actually experiencing and discussing our experiences, I was able to have a better understanding of a Japanese mindset. TV shows and what my friends were doing actually made sense. This program ..."

"My study abroad experience was most definitely worthwhile! Studying in another country, particularly Ireland has helped to change my perspective in life and what is really important.

Molly Q St. Catherine University
"The biggest piece of learning I achieved on the trip was getting over the hump of believing that people don't speak English all the time. You have to learn how to say in Spanish what you want to say in English only you have to be aware it might not mean the same thing."
Matt W Edgewood College

"It was great meeting people from France and other exchange students from all over the world. Paris is a very exciting city, but also expensive so it was difficult to participate in as many cultural activities as I would have liked. I gained a lot of independence through the experience."
