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.

"It was worthwhile; I gained a lot of personal knowledge about myself and my place in the world. "
Lily Ongkiko Wheaton College, MA
"undoubtedly worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and what I (actually want to) value/ missed and appreciate while I was away, became more independent - learning how to cook, travel, etc. on my own, made a lot of new friends (didn't go abroad with any because I wanted to do my own thing), pushed myself out of my comfort zone ..."
A student Middlebury College

Hannah Middlebury College
"irish culture "
A student Berea College
"Abroad was extremely worthwhile and I learned so much while I was there. It was a very independent experience for me - the first time having a single room (in my entire life), I didn't go with anyone else from my home university, and I traveled alone to Australia and Japan while I was there. I learned a lot about myself and had ..."
Amelia Jones Middlebury College
"The city was very different from where I study so I learned about living in a city as well as taking classes at a larger university."
A student Middlebury College
"It was definitely worth it! I learned so much about the world and people. Not necessarily from the classes I took, but just by living and being emerged in this country. "
A student
"Everyone told me it was going to be hard living in Cairo, but honestly now after 4 months I’m still wondering what they were referring to. It’s been very different, and nothing is as it’s “supposed” to be but everything get done and sorted anyway, just never in the way you assumed. Which is what makes everyday in Cairo exciting...."
A student

"I learned so much about Cairo and about Egypt as a whole - definitely worthwhile"
A student The College of William and Mary
"Actually before coming here, I was expecting a different experience. I had lots of bad moments because of the challenging life conditions in Egypt, however, AUC and AUC community always helped me. For academic purposes, it is different than European education system, the university totally adapts the American system. Even though..."
A student Bogazici University
"After living by myself for 5 months in Egypt, I can easily say I was shocked by how independent and self-sufficient I became. Working through a language barrier in your daily life isn't easy, but things got much easier after the first few weeks "
Hanna Madkour University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"It definitely was. I had been wanting to move to Egypt for years, and this was a great way to transition me into it. As much as I disagree with the dominant societal values, I will likely stay here. There's an authenticity in this country (outside the uni) that I never saw back home. "
Briana Nirenberg The American University in Cairo
