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
"My experience was worthwhile, and it was an amazing experience to live in another country. I got to learn about the history and culture of the Netherlands. Additionally, the Netherlands has so many great museums, so if you buy a Museumkaart (museum pass), you have unlimited access to hundreds of museums across the country!"
A student Wellesley College
"I enjoyed the opportunity to feel more integrated into life in a new city, especially living in Hotel Jansen (a short-medium stay 'hotel'), we shopped for groceries in the local neighborhood and biked to class and into the city center regularly. Being in a different environment took some adjustment, but I am pleased with my expe..."
A student Wellesley College
"I always wanted to visit Amsterdam, and it was a really great city and the Netherlands is a really great country to live in for a few months. There is so much to do and see and so many museums to visit. I learned a lot of independence. I loved having my bike. I missed Wellesley a lot, but honestly I think that being away from it..."
A student Wellesley College
"Because I had to pay for many fees out of pocket and arrange housing, insurance, phone bills, residency cards on my own, I learned more about how to manage myself in the adult world. Although the experience was difficult at many times, it was worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that I am capable of being independent. It was very worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"I gained knowledge of Korean culture and language, and how I do living abroad on my own. It was worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"too much racist people in Australia "
Mike S Victoria University - Melbourne, Australia
"Exposure to international students was great! Very fun!"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to adjust to a new place on my own and it has made me more independent and confident. Definitely worthwhile. If possible everyone should study abroad once. "
A student Wellesley College
"My junior year abroad has been the most exhilarating and growing experience. Extending my stay at Oxford for the full year was the best decision I made. I tried out boxing, blind wine tasting, rowing, went to a million balls and formals. I learned about friendship and how to cook and to be independent. I traveled during the brea..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that schoolwork, although important, isn't the main determining factor of a good semester of college experience. I learned how to balance my time between personal responsibilities and things I genuinely wanted to do and experience. I feel like I learned to not take myself too seriously and live in the present. "
Gianna E Brandeis University
"It was very worthwhile. I got to live in a new city and also explore many other cities with new friends! I learned so much about myself through this experience. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to be independent in a foreign place. How to make friends and learn many life skills."
A student Anna Maria College
"Was worthwhile - met a lot of interesting people"
Meghana L Wellesley College
"I learned that Wellesley is a microcosm of neuroticism and that in general, things are not that deep. I learned to not take everything so seriously all the time and to let myself live. It was very worthwhile."
Charlotte A Wellesley College
"It was worthwhile to live in a different place and have the chance to visit Europe for the first time. "
Jack K Middlebury College
"I learned how ignorant the Americans are and how compassion and genuine interest can go a long way. Experience was totally worth it. Thanks mom for giving me the nudge!"
Alexis B Middlebury College
"yes"
A student Wellesley College
"A waste of time and money, it's an awful experience studying here"
Joey P Victoria University - Melbourne, Australia
"I learned more about other cultures and saw many sights "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about how to be independent and take care of myself in the real world. I had to fly over there on my own and my second semester I cooked for myself. I also was able to feel like more of a regular young person - going out to pubs and engaging in local culture. Definitely allowed me to feel more independent compare..."
A student Middlebury College
"I felt like I grew a lot as an independent individual, and learned about diverse cultures."
A student Middlebury College
"I definitely became more independent overall. Not that I was very dependent on anyone before, but I was forced to rely pretty much only on myself for four months, financially, socially, and in many other ways. It was also a chance to experience a larger university than Middlebury and everything, good and bad, that comes with tha..."
A student Middlebury College
"I got the opportunity to meet a lot of people from across the globe which I really appreciate. I was also able to visit places I hadn't previously explored. London is also very well connected to other places in the UK and Europe which makes it easy to travel. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned about Scottish traditions and got to compare the way they live life to the way we do in America. I would choose a different program, perhaps in a larger city, if I had to go again."
A student Middlebury College
