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
"Friends, knowledge, culture"
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I think the more apt question would be what didn't I learn or gain from my experience abroad. I learned how to navigate public transport systems, got comfortable asking for directions and help in general, I learned how to truly be independent as it was the first time I couldn't call home if I was frustrated, hurt or ill; I learn..."
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Yes it was worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and became more confident and independent as a person."
A student Washington State University

Kristin S Eastern Illinois University
"I learned how to adapt to things I never thought I'd have to get used to (for example, the cleaning ladies cleaned the bathrooms by plunging the mops into the urinals and mopping the ground with it ... by the way this is a girl's bathroom... I wish I were lying). Somehow at HKUST doors can be broken (?!) and prevent you from get..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I've had a lot of time to self-reflect and mature as a result. I've had to face my inner demons head-on as well and really struggled with feelings of inadequacy for a while. Nevertheless, the experience was really important to my self-growth and I think I've learned a lot as a result. I've had a change to work on my weaknesses, ..."
A student Brandeis University

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a lot on insight on the history of East London and London in general. Traveling after the semester is the best part. During the traveling and the program itself the interaction with people from all over the world expands your understanding of the world. It was definitely worthwhile."
