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
"Adjusting to a new culture Learning about the culture Lifelong friendships"
A student Berea College
"I learned that it is hard to put yourself out there and make new friends after feeling settled into Junior year of college. Tea and biscuits are good -- they're good for making friends and good for taking a break. I learned more about myself, and I got to hear so many people's stories. It was worthwhile for sure!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"My (Cantonese) language skills improved immensely while I was abroad, which was one of my primary goals before going. I additionally learned to keep an open mind and to not be afraid to put myself out there to try new experiences-- you'll never know who you'll meet and what you'll discover! "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so much about the development of Roman architecture--I cannot begin to explain how much I appreciate this and its relation not only to other types of architecture. It helped me to understand the parallels between Roman progression and those of other cultures."

A student Brandeis University
"My internship went really well and I gained a lot of practical life experiences such as budgeting/travel/independence/etc. In the long run it was worth it yes, but London is not a place I would ever live. Don't go for Spring semester, it rained and was freezing the ENTIRE time."
Hailey Virginia Commonwealth University / VCU
"I became much more independent, more flexible, more street smart, more mature, and more culturally knowledgeable.

A student Wellesley College
"Studying abroad at the American University of Sharjah was the best decision of my life. I gained so many positive experiences and learned to be more independent.

"It was definitely worthwhile studying abroad in London. The area around Goldsmiths UOL is very diverse, and affordable compared to central London. It also feels less touristy with an abundance of inexpensive food markets, smaller local art shows and shops, and community events going on. Generally, there is no shortage of fun and..."
A student Wellesley College

A student Brandeis University
"Totally worthwhile. I grew a lot"
A student Wellesley College
