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 see the world differently now, my perspective has grown."
Lisa S Middlebury College
"Worthwhile and highly recommendable"
A student Cardinal Stritch University
"I learned how to be more independent and crawl outside my comfort zone. Although I struggled personally during the program, I don believe it was the fault of the system, and so I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to study abroad that have not studied a second language enough for immersion programs. Edinburgh is a fanta..."
A student Wellesley College
"It was definitely worth it--I was able to escape our "Wellesley bubble" and gain a bit of perspective. Culture shock is also always a valuable experience. You get to meet a lot of people who think very differently from you, and that can result in some productive conversations."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about myself and I became a lot more independent. Menton was absolutely beautiful and I liked that classes weren't that intense so I had the opportunity to travel a lot. I also really liked the friends that I made and will stay in touch with most of them. I thought that it was worthwhile even though it wasn't wha..."
Catherine P Wellesley College

Sarah M Wellesley College
"It was absolutely worthwhile for me. This campus has such an interesting variety of students from different places and each student is driven and knowledgable about the focus of the university, the Middle East and Mediterranean. I spent most of my time with other exchange students from elsewhere but still spent many events with ..."

A student Trinity University
"Studying Abroad is awesome. You realize there is so much more to learn and experience. You meet so many people and become part of a whole new culture that slowly becomes your own. When you come back, you are a new person. "
genessis o The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. It was my second time doing a study abroad program in Copenhagen and I didn't know I would continue to learn so much more about the city and Danish culture. Despite the expensive living conditions, as you learn more about the Danish welfare and political system, you grow to understand how applicable..."
Mary C The University of Texas at Austin
"I think the things that really stuck with me from abroad were more life lessons. I did a lot of things that I had never done before and I did them completely on my own, without a real safety net. I did a lot of traveling, I had to regularly cook for myself, and I had to figure out local transit systems on my own. I think that my..."
A student Wellesley College

A student Eastern Illinois University
"I learned that my adaptability skills are very good. I can easily adjust to a culture and learn the common phrases that used for mealtimes, entering and exiting rooms, introducing myself to others, and more. Unfortunately, removing myself from the new cultural nuances was a problem. I absolutely enjoyed it and it motivates me to..."
Tiara W Berea College
"Besides gaining amazing friends, I also learned how to travel independently. Prior to this, I had always traveled with my family or friends but during my stay, I was able to explore on my own. I traveled to Chile and Argentina all by myself and met people with incredible stories from all over the world! I also learned how to man..."
Andrea P The University of Texas at Austin
