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

Devon B University of the Pacific
"most definitely. I learned that just because someone is foreign, doesn't mean they're strange."
Robert H Presbyterian College
"It was a good experience. I am glad I went because I learned a lot about Spanish culture and society which was definitely worthwhile. I am definitely excited to go abroad again, maybe this time in Latin America. "
Jane L Rollins College
"Definitely worthwhile, "
Julie B Wellesley College
"Challenging but worth it. Reshaped some of my views and understanding. Better educated in Japan's way of life and thinking. "
Michael D University of the Pacific
"I really enjoyed being in a foreign country and constantly learning something new everyday. After being placed in this situation, I feel more confident in going out and doing something on my own. Unfortunately, I felt like the semester wasn't enough, so I'm planning on returning to teach English after graduation."
Charmaine A The University of Texas at Austin
"No, it set me behind academically and I was extremely unimpressed and disappointed. It has not changed much of my future plans. "
Geera P The University of Texas at Austin

"Yes I learned a lot but I don't think that I would like to live in Paris again nor go to Sciences Po again (say for graduate study)."
Julieta C The University of Texas at Austin
"Greece was amazing! My only complaint would be that some of the coursework was not directly relevant to Greece, its culture, and/or its people. I feel the program would benefit from the inclusion of more outings based in Thessaloniki that would supplement and enhance lecture material. "
Megan T Georgia Southern University
"I was able to vastly improve my language skills and experience daily home life while in Japan. Since I am still studying abroad, I cannot wait to travel, love living with my family, and meeting new people. I wouldn't trade it for anything."
Alanna G University of the Pacific
"I found out I've lived a very sheltered life and this gave me the chance to experience new things and learn about entirely new perspectives I never knew existed. I LOVED this experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I wish it would continue!! I had a very set plan for my future, but upon my return I no longer feel very i..."
Courtney W The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was very worthwhile. I gained self-confidence and became more independent because it was the first time in my life that I had to rely on myself for everything, and I liked that even though it was hard at times. Although some times were tough, I'm so glad I stuck it out because once things became more familiar I h..."
