Direct Enrollment/Exchange is a program provider offering 1869 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.
Study Abroad with Direct Enrollment/Exchange
"A LOT"
A student Villanova University
"While I had previously studied the relationship between France and Spain and the Islamic World (i.e., North Africa and the Middle East), it was through this trip that I was able to witness the direct impact of these histories – whether on the physical cityscape or the national culture. I feel incredibly blessed that our group wa..."
A student Mills College
"It was a transformative experience, and one in which I got to meet the most amazing friends imaginable from all around the world. I starting to learn a new language, one that I will be able to continue using back home. It also allowed me to view my studies and future in a new light. "
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I gained a LOT from going abroad and emphatically recommend it to anyone thinking about it. I learned about who I was outside of being an academic, which was really important new information that I wouldn't have received at my home university. "
A student Wellesley College
"My experience was definitely worthwhile. I had the opportunity to travel, meet other people from vastly different backgrounds, and experience living and studying in an equally different academic culture."
A student Wellesley College
"I was able to live in Israel for four months."
A student Middlebury College
"Best takeaway was learning how to make friends with people both at Trinity and also when travelling and staying in hostels."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned my limits and how I interact in a new place, I learned to be my own advocate, I learned about Chilean culture and history. Yes."
Rebecca Freeman Middlebury College
"Because I had much free time outside of the architecture school, I got to work out, go to activities/events I was interested in, get to know people, and explore Ireland a lot. The course load was not too heavy, so my time at UCD feels more like a gap semester than college. I really appreciate the chance to escape the "big bubble..."
Ke Yu Middlebury College
"I got a sense of confidence and a good sense of self while I was abroad. I realized that I'm tougher than I give myself credit for, and that I know more than what I gave myself credit for. I was able to reevaluate myself and what I was studying in a different setting and more than the just the courses themselves, I was able to r..."
A student Wellesley College
"It sounds very cliche, but I definitely gained independence from this study abroad trip. Going into it I was excited but also very worried that I would feel lonely, being many miles away from my family and really anyone that I knew. I learned that it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be to make friends and put myself o..."
Maura Sticco-Ivins Wellesley College
"Living in a city was certainly a challenge but it taught me how to be more independent and take advantage of my environment. London is a great city and there was always more to do each day. Traveling around Europe and learning about distinctiveness of each city was the highlight of my experience and London is in a very central l..."
A student Wellesley College
"Overall, I really gained a lot of confidence in myself."
Audrey University of Maine - Orono
"I make breakthroughs with my art because I was allowed to focus intensely on it and pushed to experiment and explore new methods and mediums. Even more importantly, I learned a lot about myself - about my likes and dislikes, and what I want out of life. I also gained some pretty awesome friends. A worthwhile experience that test..."
A student Drury University
"This experience was worthwhile. Even though it wasn't always the most carefree or fireworks amazing experience, I still met some great people and enjoyed my classes and feel like a part of the community. Most importantly though, it all depends on your outlook and how you approach the situation. If you wanna sit in your room and ..."
A student Middlebury College
"Learned how to be comfortable being who I am. Changed my life. "
Fahim Baig Berea College
"It was very worthwhile and gained a new perspective on a liberal arts education."
Nick Peterson Middlebury College
"Learn more about the Italian culture and and specifically the art in Florence."
Luisa Rodriguez Santa Reparata International School of Art
"I learned a lot about how people view america who don't live here and have somewhat similar styles of life. It was very interesting to be there during this past election cycle -this resulted in some very interesting conversations."
Tucker Cadow Middlebury College
"It was very worthwhile. It opened me up to a whole new way of life and way of looking at life. I loved it."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned more French, got to travel a lot, see new places and cultures, and experienced incredible things; it was definitely worthwhile. "
Claire Devlin Wellesley College
"The world is a beautiful place. I learned a lot about geography. I met people from countries I did not know they exist. I learned a lot about different cultures and learned about social issues that affect other parts of the world. I am now more aware of the role that the United States plays in the world and how the decisions tha..."
Monica Naranjo Wellesley College
"I gained an awesome group of new friends, visited so many historic monuments, and improved myself. It was extremely worthwhile"
Eric L University of Maine - Orono
"I learned a lot more about getting things done on my own. Whether it was cooking, taking care of financial issues. or whatever other issues I ran into, I was able to overcome them, and I think i grew from those experiences. I learned a lot from my classes, and was able to get a lot of valuable information and experience from my ..."
Joshua Brecker University of Maine - Orono
"I saw how other countries function differently from the US, and how social norms differ by country. I got to travel to many countries and meet people from all over the world. From being away for a semester, I also came to appreciate Wellesley and the people at Wellesley more."
Angel Kuo Wellesley College
