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.

Hilary W Wellesley College
"ICU has a huge range for Japanese speakers of all levels. I felt my course was pretty intense, but I was still able to enjoy the experience of being in Japan."
Moi L Emory University
"YES! I learned a lot more about myself and the kind of person I want to be. It has definitely impacted my future plans because I want to return there (or possibly another country in Latin America) to live and work for a year or two after graduation."
Paige S Valparaiso University
"I have new perspectives on aspects of British history and literature, academically. I grew a lot socially because I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone by going to a place where I knew no one. I learned a lot about the world from spending time with other international students. "
Hayley L Wellesley College
"I definately gained the different cultures between foreign countries and America. I know that there is a big difference on the way they live. "
Jodi M Illinois State University
"It was very worthwhile. It was interesting to see how classes go in another country. The best part for me was sightseeing and visiting different cities throughout Scotland."
Michelle E Illinois State University

"Education at ICU is similar to a UC but being alone in Tokyo is the experience that you ultimately want. "
Kanwara W University of California - Riverside
"The trip was definitely worthwhile! I loved every minute of it (except for the airports!). The program also informed me of a Master's degree program at the host university, which I will apply for because the program moved me."
Megan B Illinois State University
"I understand that people's different cultures can really impact their way of life. And that living within a different culture is the first hand learning. I learned so much from just being involved in another country. This has changed me by not being as judgement toward others differences"
Deanna Q Illinois State University
"With an internship under my belt from this experience I have gained valuable knowledge and experiences to help me in any future employment. My resume certainly has grown from the experience and that is something I wanted to happen. "
Erin B Illinois State University
"Our schools in America never really tought us about other countries maybe except wars that had included us.

Sean H Illinois State University
"I know that it is cliched to say it, but I honestly felt that I gained more confidence by going abroad. I was definitely outside of my comfort zone and grew from it - I ended up traveling to Peru later (and I don't speak any Spanish). Staying in Dublin has definitely made me want to travel more. "

"My study abroad experience was totally worthwhile and has changed my plans for after graduation and the future. Before studying abroad, my plans for the future were blurry and undefined, but I now have much more solid plans that were directly influenced by studying abroad. It has certainly given me a much better idea of where I ..."
Cathryn S Western Washington University
"My primary goal in traveling to Japan for a semester was to test my own ability to immerse myself in a completely different culture and language. Overall, I succeeded in doing so. I learned a great deal and really, truly enjoyed my five months in Japan. My experiences contributed greatly to my study of Asian History and Politica..."
Fernando G SUNY Purchase
"Academically, I think I learned a lot because it was so independent and a lot of the readings were everyday-relevant. Many opportunities opened up for me while I studied at LSE that I don't think would have been available had I not studied abroad. Socially, it was a great opportunity to travel to countries like Italy, Switzer..."
