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 learned that I am a lot better at handling stressful situations or situations that are not ideal than I had thought. I can now walk around in a city alone and with confidence because London is very easy to navigate and feel safe in (well, as safe as you can feel in a city without being ignorant). It was definitely worth while,..."
A student Regent’s University London
"Conversa was a great way to learn spanish and immerse myself in the Tico culture, but if I had to do it again, I would rather go to a program outside of th San Jose area, possibly something more rural. Santa Anna was really just a Costa Rican suburb. This was nice but a little daunting at times. But Conversa itself really is a g..."
Alexa M Michigan State University
"I learned that I am pretty independent. I am a city girl. All though I missed my family terribly, I would do it all over it again ten more times!"
cinthia c Regis College

A student Regent’s University London

A student Regent’s University London
" It was worthwhile, but again, this wasn't my first time abroad so I can't say I learned much."
Veronica R Regent’s University London
"It was extremely wonderful and necessary for my professional and personal development."
A student University of Cadiz
"The International team at Regent's is great! But I definitely believe that what I learned at class is not as important as what I learned from living abroad by myself."

Branden L Clark University - Worcester
"Living and studying in Rome along with traveling around Europe completely changed my life. To say that it was the best thing I have ever done for myself is an understatement. I learned more about life, myself, and the world in 4 months than I have throughout 16 years of attending school in America. I left Rome with a greater app..."
Shelby E The American University of Rome
"I gained an overall feel of independence and confidence in myself to be able to live so far away from the people I love. I gained so many close relationships with people across the states that I have kept in touch with and plan on visiting at some point! "
A student Clark University - Worcester
"How important it is plan and design travel plans for the region before you depart. It is cheap to travel in SE Asia so take advantage of that. Also be prepared for many group projects, and be aware that kids from different cultures have different study habits."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Everything. I feel to be more rounded as a person and I understand different cultures now which is extremely helpful in business. This experience is more worthwhile than I can express. It is an opportunity of a life time and everyone should participate if they have the chance."
A student Regent’s University London
"Learned how to live on my own in a big city. Definitely worthwhile, made great friends, got to know a new culture. Budapest is great. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that London is a great place full of culture, fun events and great people!"
Dana L Susquehanna University
"Studying abroad was absolutely worthwhile. I matured significantly and figured out what I was passionate about. I was able to make peace with my mind (through intellectual stimulation in my classes, reading, and planning trips); body (from the yummy food, running with the AUR Running Club, playing on the AUR She-Wolves soccer te..."
Leah S High Point University
"I learned a lot about myself and it taught me how to manage my stress and be calm. But it also taught me how to appreciate being on my own more. For example, I traveled by myself to a few countries and it was so much fun and very relaxing because I got to do what I want to do. I travelled with friends and family too and that was..."
Nick P Drexel University
"I learned a lot about myself and how to be independent. Also how to interact with people from different backgrounds and cultures all over the world. I took a Human Rights course that had a lot of students from different countries and we all had to learn how to speak about conflicts in different countries with tact. "
Nicole C Emmanuel College (Massachusetts)
"I became more independent and learned alot about myself. "
A student Webster University
"I gained a greater sense of independence and finally understood the level of responsibility it takes to be on your own in the world, especially a whole different world than you're used to. I learned to be street smart with the way I carried myself and acted. There will always be pick pockets and thugs around, I learned how to sp..."
