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

"My study abroad experience was one of the best and most influential times of my life. Before this, I had barely ever been further than 3 hours and a phone call away from my family, and I always thought they were more equipped to handle my life than I was. Being abroad allowed me the chance to take control of my life and helped m..."

"I learned a lot about life experiences: international life, keeping up with a bigger city, getting out and experiencing a million things at once.

"I made fantastic long-term friends during my time abroad, I learned a lot about cultural differences between America and France and Europe in general.

"The abroad experience allowed me to interact with people from all over the world who do not hold americanized views, thus enlightening and intriguing.
