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.

Gillian D B Wellesley College
"I can't believe how independent I became in a few short months, and now I feel like I can handle anything life throws at me in the future. In addition to learning about many different cultures throughout my time in the UK/traveling around Europe, I also learned a lot about myself. This program was definitely worthwhile and I am ..."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I got a taste of the world, and it was amazing. My world view opened up and I spent one of the most amazing summers of my life, thus far, in a great country. "
Jacquelyn W Boston University
"Life is about who you know, not what you know. The connections I made in the city have proven that time and time again. The relationships we built made my time in London worth every second."
Joseph N Berea College
"What I gained / learned from my experience abroad - a different mentality, culture and experience ideas with students from different cultural backgrounds. Yes, it was worthwhile."
A student American College Greece
"This program was absolutely worthwhile. I gained intercultural communication skills and improved my Spanish proficiency. Most importantly, I made local friends and became part of a beautiful Spanish family whom I have stayed in touch with."
A student The College of New Jersey
"Be patient. Dont expect every day to be perfect, it's going to be hard but it is so rewarding and so worth it. "
Carolina B Truman State University
"I learned so much about the german culture and my own"
Alejandro G Universidad de Alicante / University of Alicante
"Very worthwhile, but more support in logistical things would have been very helpful--health care, housing (where to live, how to pay, etc.), which classes to take, how to study properly, how to transfer credit, etc."
Sadie W Truman State University
"My comprehension of french improved a ton. But my french overall saw a lot of improvement also. I got really close to a family (who's not my host family) and have great memories and friendships with them. You learn a lot overall. "
Tori S Truman State University
"This time abroad gave me some international experience that I will always be thankful for. It taught me to do more than just the bare minimum assigned reading for classes, and it also taught me to embrace trying new things. I found this trip very worthwhile. I got to meet new friends, try new experiences, and see a country th..."
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Being able to live independently, be responsible for cooking and getting to university everday"
A student University of Connecticut
"Edinburgh provided an amazing experience, forcing me to be an 'adult.' I lived, studied, and traveled abroad for 5 months. Although scary and daunting at times, study abroad made me more confident, made me more comfortable spending time alone, etc. Plus you meet some pretty great people, as well. "
Steven G Colby College
"Studying abroad was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Although being a "tourist" for 4 months is very challenging, it also helps you grow up and mature. I learned a lot about myself and my ability to cope in difficult situations. "
Karli B University of Maryland - College Park
"When I studied abroad it was the first time I felt like an adult. I loved the independence of having to figure everything out myself. I went completely alone, not knowing anyone from home who was going. I completely went outside my comfort zone and had to make a new group of friends, adjust to a completely new type of semester s..."
Nora M University of Connecticut
"Definitely learned a lot, learned more about what I like and want, and grew from being in an independent program/ dealing with crazy situations. The month long break was an awesome time for travel but that combined with the pound in the UK was expensive! Would probably go somewhere else if I could choose again but loved the camp..."
A student University of Connecticut
"The best part of studying in Rome was the ability to experience other cultures as long as you put in the effort. Rome is a very lived-in city, and we lived in an area without a touristy feel. The airport was very easy to get to, and I know that other places in Italy don't have the same luxury. Because of that, I was able to f..."
Kris F The American University of Rome
"I loved my experience abroad. I had a great time at AUR. The classes were interesting and engaging, the housing was a lot better than I anticipated, my roommates were great, and the opportunities were endless. I traveled throughout Italy and Europe and learned so much about myself and the world."
Lisamarie D Boston College
"An obvious benefit is being able to travel to many countries in Europe far more easily than trying to do it from the USA. From this ease of travel I’ve benefitted by experiencing many different pieces of history, people, their cultures, foods, opinions, and sights. It has really opened my eyes to a much bigger world. Having alr..."
A student Eastern Kentucky University
"I gained experience with handling travel, communicating with new people, and money/time management in frequently changing environments. The world feels larger and smaller simultaneously. "
Katherine Z Berea College
"I learned a new language and figured out my thesis"
A student Brandeis University
"Studying at UoB itself wasn't a life changing experience, but having the ability to travel Europe over break made the semester worth it."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"The language acquisition and the experience of being immersed in a different culture. Yes, it was worthwhile. "
A student SUNY - Stony Brook
