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.

Laura H The University of Texas at Austin
"I really enjoyed my experience abroad and if I could, I would do it again. I definitely feel like my language skills greatly improved, especially my listening skills. I also feel like I as a person grew. I feel more open minded about the world now and feel ready to take on challenges now. If anything, I even feel more motivated ..."
Janira C University of the Pacific
"I feel like my fluency with German is better and I have a very worldly view on life now. Europe is amazing, and getting to live there is even more amazing. It is so cool to not only see a different culture, but get to live it too. "

Lindsay M Presbyterian College
"It was great! I loved being able to make friends with locals and also with other students from the US as well as other countries around the world. Some classes were truly meetings of the minds and it was really nice to hear from different people, each with a different take on the world."
Kaitlynn L University of the Pacific
"I gained independence and some really incredible friends."
Susan M The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience opened my eyes to the world. It is crazy to see how other people live and accept it. We always think other people should live like ones self but that is their culture and you have to respect it. It was very neat and bizarre to see China!"
Katie H University of Northern Iowa
"I gained a lot of independence, in terms of living-style and learning. It is difficult to learn to navigate a city all on your own! I would have liked more support from UCL, but my learning at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies allowed me to focus on my interests and take courses I couldn't take at Wellesley. This ..."
Aisling G Wellesley College
"This experience was absolutely worthwhile. My German degree would not be as valuable or rich if I hadn't studied the language and observed the culture from within Germany."
Erin F Presbyterian College
"I learned to accept different cultures through a neutral filter and first try to understand and ask questions before judging. Try new things and push yourself beyond your limits."

"I can not say that I learned a lot about academics or professional things but I learned a lot about life issues both of others and personal matters and for me that was worth the trip. "
Daniel H The University of Texas at Austin
"I grew so much out of this experience. I learned that I am able to go and live in a foreign country on my own and deal with all types of issues. I learned how to be completely independent, organized and responsible. I also got to meet people with different points of view, which in turn broadened my view of things. I learned so m..."
Constanza M The University of Texas at Austin
"Language, knowledge, and some of the best friends I have ever met. "
Kathryn H The University of Texas at Austin
"It was absolutely worthwhile - I will be working in the Latin American division of a company in Denver, Colorado starting this fall.

In reference to my response to "if you could do it all over again, would you choose the same program?", I w..."

Sayaka T The University of Texas at Austin
"I have been to Turkey before, so this trip was not my first. But i would say that for the people that i have met throughout the length of the program, it was a very enlightening and beneficial experience. They got to see eastern people and eastern traditions firsthand, and i think that this experience definetly does raise a pers..."

"It was amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat. I hope to go back to Australia one day to study again I loved it THAT much!"
Maria G The University of Texas at Austin
"For me, I think the issue was that I didn't get involved enough right from the beginning, so I missed my opportunity to become involved. Also, I wish I had gone to a bigger city. Aberdeen was nice, but I think I would have had more fun in Edinburgh or London. "

"Living in Sweden was a great experience, but I wish classes were more organized. "
Hyeri K The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was absolutely worthwhile."
