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
"Myself"
A student Erasmus Exchange
"It was the best experience I could have wished for. Studying abroad gave me the chance to get to know myself better, I grew in confidence and personality and I got to know people from all over the world whom I all love to bits!"
Sophia L University of Klagenfurt
"This trip was an interesting experience as I was able to participate in adventures I most likely would not have under other circumstances. I learned a lot about people and other countries from the many people I encountered and lived with."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned so much about other ways of life and other countries. Argentina is a very interesting country with a fascinating history and culture. It was 100% worth it!"
Anne O Trinity University
"I learned how to be independent, having to deal with adult things such as rent, groceries, cooking, budgeting money. My language skills have improved to such a great extent that would've have been achieved otherwise. Culturally, I learned so much and understood things that I wouldn't have been able to by just studying it at my h..."
A student Presbyterian College
"It was so worthwhile. There is something about being abroad and seeing a culture and religion in person that you can't learn from books. The experience also helped me to mature a great deal as I had to face new challenges and overcome obstacles. "
A student Berea College
"I learned how to become self dependent as well as how to handle issues on my own. Yes, this program was definitely worthwhile because it taught me a lot of major life lessons as well I grew up and matured there. "
A student Presbyterian College
"It was definitely worth while. I became more independent and learned a lot about myself. I learned to take advantage of as many opportunities that come my way. "
Sydney M Brandeis University
"Living in a culture that's very different to western culture gave me a new perspective on life. My japanese improved, I made many friends from a variety of countries and got to explore Japan. Living in Japan is a lot different than living in the US or Mexico. The social norms are different and it's confusing at first. But if you..."
Gama R Washington State University
"Better understanding for immigrants, new world views, appreciation for travel and wider perspectives."
A student Washington State University
"As difficult as it was, I truly believe it was worth it. It showed me a different perspective of life and mentalities that I could never have learned at home. "
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"It was a very worthwhile experience; however, the students and the extracurricular activities dominated the experience. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned that being around Spanish majority of my day forced me to learn at a faster pace. The cities of Madrid and Barcelona are very beautiful. "
Donavan B The Citadel
"I learned a lot about being away from home, travel, the struggles of knowing different languages, bus schedules, different test styles (Mannheim just gives one final exam). It was completely worth while and I felt I grew up a lot in the process. No one spoon fed me anything."
Kayla R University of Maine - Orono
"Definitely worthwhile. It was an awesome experience. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned so much while being abroad: how to live independently, how to shed judgment and prejudice, how to live in the moment. It was definitely worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"It felt amazing to really get to know a great city like London, and to travel so widely. It was an amazing experience. That said, the educational experience felt like it got in the way of my other experiences. I didn't do many of the things I wanted to do because I was too busy worrying about writing papers for a different acade..."
Ethan P Middlebury College
"I learned some independence, to respect the privileges we are given, and how to just enjoy the world around me. It was definitely worthwhile."
Ashtyn C Wellesley College
"Worthwhile and so much more. I love knowing that I have connections over in Spain and Europe. I learned the most in those three months than I have my whole twenty-three years. I gained many lifelong friends and memories, ones you will never forget and ones that not many have. "

A student Wartburg College
"I learned so much about myself and definitely felt as though I've grown as a person. Studying abroad was absolutely worthwhile. I'd recommend everyone to try it (just not at this school)."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned the value of understanding other cultures, the different ways that other universities teach and other students in other countries learn and study, and how different my experience as a student could be at another school. I got to travel to so many places I wouldn't have been able to. It was incredibly worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
