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.

"My study abroad program gave me the desired reprieve from school that I desired. I had a lot of fun, meet some cool people, and fell in love with Japan all over again. While I wish there was less English in my daily life, I still managed to improve my overall Japanese language skills. Further exposure to Japanese history and lit..."

"Yes, it was completely worthwhile. Not only did I learn a ton about Spain and the Spanish Language, but I learned heaps about myself too. I had to pull myself together in tight situations and saw what I would do in fun ones too. It was a great experience."
Jennifer J Oregon State University

"My experience in London just made me love Europe all the more. I've always gained great inspiration from Europe and it's history and culture, and I got to experience it so much more studying there. The museums and sights are endless! It helped reassure me that Fashion was a good route for me to take in life as well. "
Cobby R University of Wisconsin - Madison
"It was very worthwhile. It made me a stronger person and it showed me that I could do something that I never thought I would ever do. It proved to me that dreams do come true. It made me aware of other places like Toledo. It's amazing what's out there. There is a whole world out there. And I want to see it all!"
Sandra D University of Southern Mississippi
"I feel incredibly more aware of the world and the people in it. it's so easy to think we exist in a vaccuum. but what we dont realize is that at the exact moment, students are also studying in Australia, and eating in Brazil, and sleeping in Norway (or whatever). we are all people and i think it's so important for people to rela..."
Jessica T The University of Texas at Austin
"There are so many different people and culture that I'm not familiar with. One thing that I learned from this program is that I have to accept them as they are. I can't judge them based on my knowledge or value. "
Heewon K SUNY - Binghamton
"It was amazing! You gain lots of insight into both your culture and the culture of Korea. You get to do all these amazing things and you meet some really cool people from America and abroad. And the cost of living is really cheap."
Shayna Y University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I learned how to branch out of my safety zone. For a week, I talked to no one. I was homesick and wanted my life back. I watched my fellow group members go out and enjoy themselves, but I was afraid to meet new people. Then, I said, "screw it" and I embraced everything. I tried many different foods, rode on less than street lega..."
Laura A University of Nebraska - Kearney
"Living abroad is the best thing I have ever done in my life. It opens up your personal world in so many ways. It helps you become more confident and willing to try bigger challenges. It also teaches you so much about other cultures, which in return, helps you reflect on your own culture. You can make friends that will last a lif..."

"In so many ways. Beyond becoming apart of the Chinese cultural environment and greatly increasing my Chinese speaking abilities, I got close to people I would never have met, became interested in places I would never have thought and did things I never could have done at home. "
Matthew L Southwest Jiaotong University
"It was so wonderful. I've made so many friends and gotten to know myself so much better because of it. It set me back on the path I wanted to follow and the feeling I've been trying to recapture about my approach to my life goals. It was a solid experience from a solid program. "
Deanne N Rice University
"I feel as though the experience is what you put into it. If you are looking for an American style experience in which you feel comfortable it is there, or you can stretch yourself and live in the city. Whatever you are looking for, it is there."
Benjamin H Middlebury College
"Yes it was. The friends that I made will stay with me forever, and the 3 weeks i spent there was the best in my life. I learned that without jumping into circumstances that are out of your comfort zone, you will definitely have regrets. "

Cody O The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worth my while. What I loved the most was how Alcala is located in the center of Spain so we could go in any direction and get to another city in a reasonable amount of time for a weekend trip. And the professors were all about going out and seeing the world and they themselves were world travellors who gave us..."
