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
"Oxford had a very different environment compared to Wellesley, which made me thought that I've changed completely as a person. I use to not enjoy reading that much, but that completely changed while I was at oxford because of the learning environment. It was also my first time in Europe and I tried to travel to other cities and ..."

"I was able to make lots of new friends not only with people from the country of my study abroad program, but from all over the world. I was also able to improve my foreign language skills and to make a lot of unforgettable memories while learning how to live in the country of where I hope to work in the future."
Andrew J The University of Texas at Austin
" This past summer, I studied abroad in Beijing, China through IES Abroad. Studying abroad was one of the most challenging experiences I have faced, but it was also extremely rewarding. I had a really great time immersing myself in Chinese culture (everything from food to shopping to museums). I also really enjoyed taking Chinese..."

A student Trinity University
"Academically, I learned a lot about the history of Western Asia/Eastern Europe that I had no exposure to prior my study abroad experience. I enjoyed the classroom discussions and assigned readings, while my classmates were very inclusive of the study abroad students. Turkey is a great place to travel while on a student budget, a..."

"I learned a lot about the region's culture and customs, and it was well worthwhile!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"The friends that I made abroad made my experience. They were other exchange students but I loved making those connections and experiencing traveling with them. It was worth it to pick a place that isn't high-destination. It was humbling to experience life in South East Asia (while Singapore is modern, most countries are not). "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained not only a huge leap in my understanding of the Japanese language but also a chance to meet new people, Japanese, American, or otherwise, and to understand Japanese culture and, to some extent, the Japanese way of thinking. I saw things I have never seen and would love to see again. "
Jacob H The University of Texas at Austin
"Social skills, sense of what actually matters in my life"
A student Middlebury College
"you can't expect everyone to have the same mannerisms and respect level. Depends on culture "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to concentrate, I learned about mainland Chinese culture, but most importantly I learned about myself."
Ashton B Trinity University
"I was able to receive a true insight into the Japanese culture and made many friends from all over the world. It was far more than worthwhile it was amazing!"
Sonia E Loras College
"This was my first international experience so I would say that it was extremely worthwhile. Being in a culture so different from the United States was eye-opening. I definitely feel as though I can hold an honest respect for other cultures now, even though I may not agree with all the customs I think it is still important to l..."

"Independence. The fact that I can be happy wherever I am. It's all about the people you're with. More adventures and memories than I can count. Spanish confidence. "
Emily A Trinity University
"What didn't I gain from this experience! An overwhelming sense of independence was one of the most prominent feelings I remember coming over me during my time abroad. If I can make it in a big city 4000 miles away from anything I've ever known, I'm pretty confident I can live almost anywhere. "
A student Loras College
"It was entirely worthwhile and worth every penny! I gained a new, fresh perspective on my day to day life here. Thanks to Panrimo! "
Carly P Saginaw Valley State University
"I learned how to be more independent and manage my time well while I traveled to other countries every weekend and manage school and socializing. Traveling and trying new things opened my eyes to new cultures and having an opportunity to immerse myself in it. Definitely worthwhile and made lifelong friends."
Meg W The University of Texas at Austin

A student Wellesley College
