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 gained an in-depth, on-the-ground experience in a country I had long studied. I improved my language skills exponentially and got to enjoy a major world city right at my fingertips. It was definitely worthwhile!"
Susanna D University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"I learned more about being independent and street-smart. "
Caroline M Clark University - Worcester
"This experience made me grow as a person. I have a new perspective on life. Before going to London, I only saw NYC as the greatest city. Now I'm not so sure. Going to a new country by myself was scary at first, but by the end I felt like I could conquer anything. I am completely comfortable with traveling alone now. I have gaine..."
Lily H University of Hartford
"Yes"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how different the perspective of the Japanese, as well as many cultures, are from my own, and I learned to keep this in mind when thinking of things that I consider common sense."
Blake W Clark University - Worcester
"This program was definitely worthwhile and it was an amazing opportunity to get to be back in Lebanon for 6 months. "
Lara A Syracuse University
"It was worth my while in every way imaginable. I learned to be self-sufficient, how to live away from home, how to cook, how to travel by myself and really enjoy it. I learned to be happy while being alone and how to live in a city. I met people that gave me hope for my future and made me smile until my face hurt. I felt so much..."
Elise B Middlebury College
"I learned so much about this country, it's people, and it's landscape. I challenged myself in ways I never had the chance to before and it was absolutely worth it. I wouldn't have changed anything about my trip. I am so glad I tried new things and met so many amazing people, American and local. The people and the adventures ..."
A student Wellesley College
"The experience was nice because on either side of tel aviv I traveled in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe. If i had solely done tel aviv I would not have enjoyed it as much"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about the local culture and Australia in general. Also gained the confidence to travel alone and to work through uncomfortable/unfamiliar situations. Very worth it, both the incredible experiences and the more difficult ones."
A student Middlebury College
"Manage cultural diversity situations , learn foreign language and meet international friends"

A student George Washington University

A student Franklin & Marshall College
"So worthwhile, learned so much about myself and others."
A student Brandeis University

A student Wellesley College
"I gained independence and insight on other cultures. I gained knowledge by diving into Sevilla and it's traditions and culture. I learned how to travel throughout Europe, which was huge for me because I had never been outside of the United States. I learned the Spanish language and was able to use it with the locals. I gained ov..."
Kara C Harper College
"The experience was worthwhile but if I had to do it again, I would only go for a semester, not the year. "
A student Wellesley College
"My experience was more than worthwhile. I learned so much about the culture and politics of a country caught between Europe and the Middle East. I made lifelong friends and learned how to be more independent and confident in myself. I also discovered my passion for travel and how this was the first of many experiences abroad. "
Nicole B Bates College
"I learned more biochemistry in one year at Oxford than I would have in four years at Middlebury (or any other American university). I learned a lot about the British and made many friends that I hope I'll keep in touch with. It was worthwhile enough that I'm considering coming back to Lincoln for a graduate degree."
William N Middlebury College
"My year abroad expanded my world literarily, literally, and personally. It was more than worthwhile. "
A student Middlebury College
"Yes! Made some really close friends, learned so much about Lebanon and ever since then I've been hooked on the Middle East"
Emily J George Washington University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot of independence and confidence. I got a lot better at meeting new people and making friends with people who are from a different culture than me. Finally, I also loved traveling - I'm definitely inspired to adventure more in my backyard and want to go abroad again somewhere else."
A student Middlebury College
"I gained a larger perspective on the world and realize despite differences on paper, we are more or less the same. "
