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
"It is very difficult for me to put my feelings about this trip into words. I had the most amazing, life changing experience. I learned so much about myself, my friends, and what kind of person I want to be. Before going to Ireland I always felt in a rush, frantic, and never had the chance to take a breath. Dublin taught me to ca..."
A student Plymouth State University
"very worthwhile, learned so much about other cultures and was able to see so many things"
Emily S The University of Texas at Austin
"London was just as colorful, international, and fun as I thought it would be. I learned how to adapt to a new culture and I even took on a research position!. I feel more comfortable navigating a large city and I learned a lot about the UK and even America from a global perspective."
A student Stevens Institute of Technology
"Living elsewhere changes a person. Paris allowed me to explore my identity and to see the world from another lens. The city (and the people) are intoxicating, passionate, full of culture and history, and kind. I will forever treasure my time in Paris."
Audrey E The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile, for sure. Classes taken in Spanish are way harder then taking Spanish language classes. Think twice about that."
mheap3 The University of Texas at Austin
"Oh goodness isn't this an open-ended question. Was it worthwhile? Most definitely yes. What did I gain? Lots of things. I'm sure that if you're reading a review about studying abroad, you already know by now the values in 'broadening your horizons'. And me harping on that will take too long. But I suppose it will happen inevi..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Although my time at ACD was short, I learned as much in two weeks abroad as I have in seven semesters of college in my home country. I was able to learn not only from the course material but from spending time, on my own, in a foreign country. "
A student Plymouth State University
"I learned how to be independent and adapt to a new life style. I learned how to face new problems such as language and cultural barriers as well. I feel like I became a new person."
Jordan E University of Northern Iowa
"Perspective, not just the typical "broadening horizons" deal but I realized how similar people are across countries. "
Chris A The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot of confidence in myself and my abilities to take care of myself. I had to learn to be independent in a totally new way, but when I was able to, I experienced an incredible amount of joy and satisfaction. At home it is easy to get from place to place, you just take the car and go and y..."
A student Presbyterian College
"Was fun. Is good."
A student Middlebury College
"I had a fabulous time learning to navigate around New Zealand, fully embracing my outdoorsy side, making new friends, gaining confidence travelling alone. "
A student Middlebury College
"I found a new love and excitement for my major, as well a city I plan to move back to. Beyond worthwhile"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to be a better person and to appreciate differences in cultures as opposed to being afraid or skeptical of the nuances"
Adam T Presbyterian College
"I learned that there really is so much more out there. I am not experienced, culturally, and this was a great start. Imnready to travel the world now!"
Elizabeth M University of Hartford
"Living and working in a city. So worthwile. Grad school."
A student Middlebury College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned about English culture and how they act on a daily basis. "
Aidan K University of Hartford
"I learned time management, how to be more independent and use my resources."
Tiara F The University of Texas at Austin
"I expected to learn mostly about a foreign culture. While this was true, I learned even more about myself. Immersion in a completely alien environment really lets you see your true colors."
Christopher B Trinity University
"I learned a good deal about how to live on my own and deal with immediate, novel life problems without much support. I also was able to use the different context to better understand my own motivations and goals and what I really wanted from myself."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Wherever you go, no matter how different the culture, hearth and home can be found among friends. Someone out there probably shares your interests."
A student Presbyterian College
"Had to learn to be by myself for long periods of time. Probably not"
A student Middlebury College
"Life changing, learned more about the world than academics."
Miguel F Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"One of the biggest things I learned from this experience is that I am capable of traveling Europe, I am capable of leaving home for a period of time, I am capable of living on my own (albeit not well, but still I am capable!), and I am capable of making new friends in a different country. If nothing else, this experience was wor..."
A student Marywood University
"While abroad I learned so much about not only the Italian culture, but about myself! It was a life changing experience."
