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, International Summer Schools, Turkey, and Slovakia.
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.

Abigail Ross The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was worthwhile. I definitely gained a lot of independence and confidence in myself, along with the positive of exploring new places I might never have gone to in my life if I hadn't studied abroad. Even with the negatives, I am still very grateful for my time abroad."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned about latin american culture, education, daily life, and family. I learned about myself, traveled to many beautiful places, learned patience, problem solving, and about cultural barriers. I made amazing friends, met wonderful people, and so much more. Very worthwhile."

"When I thought I was at my end, I still powered through. I found out what I was made of and what my limits are. "
Sarah Jimenez Fontbonne University
"I gained confidence in myself to immerse myself, alone, in a completely new environment and come out a better person. I learned from the kiwis to love life, to take risks, to be carefree and to have a sense of humor about everything, and to not get so wound up about politics. I learned from the land that there are beautiful gems..."

A student Wellesley College
"What I loved most about studying abroad is the sense of independence and feeling of adventure I gained. Even before studying abroad, I lived far away from home due to college. But since I was an ocean away, I really had to deal with my own problems like booking plane ticket and hotels and even setting up my own doctors appointme..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned more about myself this semester than in the summation of my entire college experience. Studying abroad challenges you to be independent, confident, and hard-working, while at the same time providing you with opportunities to explore the world. I would go back to Galway anyday! The experience was absolutely worth all of..."
A student Berea College

A student Wellesley College
"I really enjoyed living in a different country and learning about the cultural differences. It was definitely worthwhile!"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to adapt to a different culture and that there is so much more to life than most Americans know. For example, the US is huge on consumerism, and oftentimes we feel as though we always have to be doing something. Unlike the US, Norway takes a step back to appreciate what they have and make their lives cozy and spend..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
