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 learned a lot about myself and the importance of self-care and good mental health. Other than that, most of my time was spent on classes, homework, preparing for presentations/group work, doing presentations, worrying about classes and presentations, worrying about exams, failing exams and just school in general. "

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I had to learn how to navigate living in a completely foreign city and attending a school that I was not at all familiar with beforehand. Doing so taught me a lot myself and how to live independently and what to do when problems arise and there's no one you can turn to for help. In addition, being i..."

A student Brandeis University
"Yes, it was a worthwhile experience. "
A student Wellesley College
"While abroad I feel like I really got to know myself (cliche, I am aware), and I think that Cambridge's academic system is so individual that it really required me to leave my comfort zone and really get comfortable with the material and my thoughts on it. Because I joined a sports team, I got to see parts of the country I would..."
A student Wellesley College
"I loved living in Madrid. It was an amazing experience to get to learn and appreciate another culture. I think leaving the comforts of my home and university pushed me out of my comfort zone constantly. It was very challenging but you learn a lot about yourself throughout the process. It was definitely worthwhile, I can't imagin..."
