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 a sense of independence and problem solving abilities while abroad. It was worthwhile because of the friendships I formed, but would have found it more worthwhile as a program for an entire academic year rather than one term."
Donnie A Columbia College, Missouri
"A level of adaptability that I never would have found at home. I learned that I can live on my own anywhere. "
molly h The University of Texas at Austin
"I was presented with new ways to look at life, from both my classes and the people I met. I was also exposed to the idea of being more spontaneous and adventurous; this by the friends I made."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I definitely became more independent and confident in myself while abroad! I also became much more interested in international relations and international environmental issues. I hope to bring both of these back to my life in the U.S.!"
Brooke R Rhodes College
"It definitely was worthwhile! I learned a lot about my ability to take care of myself. I also got to experience another culture: both university life and the work place "
A student University of Connecticut
"I gained and learned more than I could sum up in words. The amount of things opened up to me and within myself, as I understood my reactions to new things, are intangible. New settings in general have a way of shifting our routines and simply because of that, allow us to examine things we didn't know existed within us and befo..."
Tom H Anonymous University
"I learned to be adventurous and approach new situations with confidence. "
A student Brandeis University
"As cliche as it sounds, you learn so much about yourself. I didn't have some life-changing epiphany but I understand that I can survive by myself a long way from home. I learned about the perception others have about Americans. I also learned that people are really the same from all over the world. It was absolutely worthwhi..."
Brayden L University of Northern Iowa
"The world is big. It was worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"I can write essays more efficiently and am better at organising my own work time. I know more about the ways I learn best, and how far I can (and can't push myself). It was a difficult year in many ways, but ultimately a very rewarding one. "
A student Wellesley College
"My language skills improved significantly during this program. I experienced life on my own in a foreign place with a fascinating culture. The location was the most ideal place, with locals who are always interested in meeting with you. It was absolutely worthwhile."
A student Temple University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I gained the confidence to live on my own in a foreign city. "
Olivia R University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"Gained living under a roof with friends. Better understood how to learn productively. And how to make time for the important things."
A student Middlebury College
"I pushed myself academically, harder than Wellesley ever could have done. Socially I didn't have to do much, because work took up all my time. I was quite lonely for a while, but once I found my people I had a couple of wonderful months. It would not have been worth it to me to go for less than the whole year, and I advise al..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learnt how to be happy and balanced in an academic environment. I learnt about the life outside stress culture."
A student Wellesley College
"Studying outside of an established program meant that I was on my own, more or less. While this was daunting at first, I appreciate how it forced me to step outside of my comfort zone. It was definitely worthwhile. I loved being a student in London, and felt very connected to the city."
Eloisa C Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile to spend a semester in Scotland, though spending Wellesley tuition for Edinburgh education and lack of personal attention was pretty disappointing. "
A student Wellesley College
"Independence, Patience, Respect, Confidence It was the most significant 6 months of my life."
A student Columbia College, Missouri

A student Middlebury College
"Intermediate Chinese Language (Started with 2-3 words) Beginner Mongolian Language"
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I learned that it is very difficult to live abroad, even for somebody like myself who has traveled a lot, and is fairly comfortable in new surroundings. It was a very good experience, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
A student Middlebury College
"I gained an understanding of the culture while seeing the most incredible historical sites in one of the most ancient lands. "
Rachel G University of Hartford
"I learned that I love living in a city. I also had an amazing volunteering experience working for a charity that visits homes for the elderly with dementia. "
Elise C Middlebury College
"Living in a country where I didn't speak the language made me more resourceful. I had great academic experiences and that instructors were extremely accessible. "
A student George Washington University
