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.

"I learned so much about myself. I became more confident and independent. I befriended people from different cultures. I got to taste incredible food that I've never tried before. And I got to visit other Asian countries since the plane tickets were much cheaper than they would be coming from the US! It was 100000% worthwhile."
Sophie Cheng Birmingham-Southern College
"Being in the country really helped me practice and learn the language better. It was very worthwhile!"
A student Birmingham-Southern College
"I learned a lot about myself in terms of handling money when it's tight and socializing with new people. And I really treasure learning the different style of "learning" in the UK - it was a transition but I found that it really worked for me, being SO personally responsible for my own study the way you're forced to be. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself, my subject, the world both in and out of the classroom in a year I will never forget. "
A student Brandeis University
"The biggest thing I gained was a true sense of self and cultural awareness. We all grow up with stereotypes, and while you may know they're untrue, they still poison your thoughts until you have empirical evidence to refute them. Going abroad broke many of those barriers I had and showed me a wide array of people from a position..."
Edward Jenkins John Carroll University
"- gained experience navigating an unfamiliar (smaller) city, organizing my own travel plans in a foreign country (transportation, accommodation, food, activities), learned what to do when plans don't work out - extremely worthwhile experience, exciting to leave the U.S. and see the opposite side of the world"
A student Middlebury College
"Some Japanese, some cultural aspects but would definitely learn more in a different place."

A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I feel that I have expanded my horizons and gained a more nuanced appreciation for cultural differences. Another powerful moment for me was visiting family members in Calabria, including visiting the small village where my great-grandparents lived before immigrating to the United States. It was a unique experience that I could n..."

"It was worthwhile. "
Irene Universität zu Köln / University of Cologne
"It was worth living in another culture"
A student Middlebury College
"You don't know what you don't know. I learned this lesson several times over as I was faced with decisions, obstacles, and situations I had never thought to prepare for. I cannot put my 5 months of life lessons into better words than Mark Twain when he said “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many ..."
Rachel Brown Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I learned that there is so much more out there than what i had previously been exposed to living in Oklahoma. It opens a door to seeing a lot more of the world. Hands down it was worthwhile, it took a lot of preparation prior to going abroad, but it was absolutely amazing "

"I learned a lot about English Renaissance art and about British culture"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned to enjoy and appreciate the little things more especially your friendships and the world we live in."
