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
"I became even more open-minded, I got to see America from an outside point of view, and I got to experience a whole new level of independence. It opened my eyes to a vulnerable population that, as a social work major, I may consider directing my career path toward that I hadn't really considered before as it's not really prevale..."

Kelsey A University of Tampa
"After studying abroad, I felt like I should have been in Mexico most of my life. I felt like I belonged to the culture more than my own. I was healthy, happy, and wouldn't have changed my experiences for anything. Hopefully I am able to go back to Guanajuato often for vacation if not for a job at some point. The one regret that ..."
