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
"Very worth while"
Patrick Bria University of Colorado - Denver
"Amazing experience! So worthwhile!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that American Superiority exists, that Western cultures are extremely similar fundamentally, but on the surface appear very different, and patience. Mostly, I learned to expand my worldview from my college experience, and question the things that I had previously taken as truths. I have to say that my travels and my fr..."
A student Wellesley College
"My courses were enlightening because the students in my classes had personal experiences that they offered which I would not have gotten at home (in courses like Arab history, middle eastern politics). I made amazing friends - most of which were other American exchange students, however some friends were local students. The scho..."
A student American University
"I made wonderful friends with the other study abroad students"
A student Wellesley College
"There's so many different people and perspectives in the world we ought to consider"
Evan Kiley Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I gained a faith in myself and a newfound passion for my subject. I liked having more time to myself to work on my subject, as well as more time to spend with friends. This was completely worthwhile!"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to budget and plan trips well. I think that I learned a lot about social skills and putting myself out there."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to navigate public transportation like an expert while traveling, and you are able to travel to another country with a round-trip ticket for under fifty dollars...you cannot do that anywhere else in the world, and it is an amazing experience during your time at university. "
Dylan Campbell The University of Texas at Austin
"From my experience abroad, I gained a new/broader perspective on linguistics. I learned how to read with a critical eye. I also learned a lot about myself - what I like and what I don't like. My experience here has also influenced my consideration of my future career, so yes, I would say that it was worthwhile."
Phoebe Lee Wellesley College
"It was so incredibly worthwhile. You're told from the beginning that its going to change your life and you'll figure out who you are. And you think you know yourself before the trip but you really don't. I learned so much about different cultures, life in general, and most importantly, I learned a lot about myself. It hard to ex..."

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely worthwhile. Now have the courage to move to a new place alone and know I can make it. Learned to love learning languages. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved my time there. Even without traveling outside the country, there is so much to do and see in Ireland itself. The people were wonderful, and I really enjoyed my classes."
Josephine The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned the intricacies of travel, and I learned to value local over tourism culture. I also learned quite a bit about budgeting in a slightly pricey European city. It was absolutely worthwhile and I recommend that everybody participates in a semester abroad if it's feasible for them. "
Chrissy B Brandeis University
"I improved my Spanish skills, gained an international perspective, and grew in character and relational skills"

"too many things to write down here just do it"
