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
"I learned a lot about myself, especially being away from my family. I felt like my internship didn't give me many opportunities for my major, or for cultural experiences. However, everything else was wonderful."
Clarice Loras College
"It was very worthwhile. I learned that I could be independent and live away from my home and parents. I learned that I could live in a big city and navigate public transportation. I learned that I could work internationally as well."
A student Loras College
"I learned much about the art of the Renaissance, as well as other influential periods of local history. I also learned much about myself as an artist."
A student Alfred University
"I gained so many things including life long friends and memories. I learned a lot in my classes as well. Apart from school I learned a lot about my self and the kind of person I want to grow into. This experience was absolutely worthwhile. I would recommend it to anyone and I would do it again in a heart beat. "
Victoria Eberlein University of Kansas
"I gained a knowledge about how other countries operate, learned about myself. "
Michelle Miloscia Pace University
"I learned a lot about independence, and working without being pushed. I also was put into an environment where I was able to deal with issues on a macro, advanced level - in contrast to how information is typically spoon-fed at Middlebury - which I think was immensely valuable. I made good friends in another country that I pla..."

A student University of Wisconsin - Green Bay
"It was very worthwhile. While abroad I was able to do things I would have never dreamed of before.

This experience has taught me that life is an..."
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I learned about a new culture that I didn't know much about beforehand. I also got to learn about that culture while I was in it, walking the streets everyday to photograph, shopping, and dining in the restaurants. That's an unbeatable experience! "

"My experience abroad definitely made me more independent, having to cook for myself and travel internationally myself, which are things that I wasn't really used to before I left. I also was able to explore new places and have amazing experiences while traveling Australia, for example, cage diving with great white sharks in Port..."
A student University of Maine - Orono

A student University of Tennessee - Knoxville

A student Pace University
"I learned to start speaking another language. Totally worthwhile"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a hell of a lot more about myself. I learned how to take care of myself in a foreign country, how to cook my own food, how to handle a trip, etc. I came back a very different person, for the better I think, even if I didn't particularly enjoy my semester"
A student Middlebury College
"Wow...so much. I cannot put it into words just yet. "
Andrew Pester Middlebury College
"I learned about Korean language, food, etiquette, music, social life, and other aspects of the culture.

Not only did I gain a network of Korean friends who can help me experience what Ko..."
