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 a lot about myself and how I function on my own, alone in another country. I learned to cook a lot of new dishes, and how important it is to reach out to people when you arrive in a new city with very few contacts. I reinforced my love for the mountains (the Alps are 45 minutes away by train). I learned how to turn tow..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned mostly about independence and being less judge mental about cultures and customs... And that the smallest of habits can make someone who they are or a culture the way it is. It was definitely worthwhile. I want to encourage everybody to go abroad. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was my first experience living abroad, and that was one of the most exciting things. Stockholm was undoubtedly a great place to do that. The whole experience was totally worthwhile, and KTH is such an international university, that I was not only able to meet Swedish students, but also students from all over the world. "
Reid J The University of Texas at Austin

"It is fantastic and teaches one a lot about different cultures. Definitely worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin

"friendship, knowledge, experience! I loved it!"
Casey L The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much about cultures beyond our own and how similar we all are in spite of our significant differences. I would recommend studying abroad to anyone and everyone because we as Americans need to be more cultured and as familiar with as many cultures as possible to understand the world better. I wish I could have studie..."

"I learned that I am more independent than I thought I would be. I also learned that I cannot live somewhere that is cold for the majority of the year. But, in the end it was worthwhile. I got to meet some amazing people. had some fun adventures, and got the chance to travel throughout Europe. "
Tiffany L Wellesley College
"I was dealt a a crappy hand because I ended up arriving in Denmark without a home. Luckily, I had a mentor from the school who helped me with my housing situation. Although I was scammed and couchsurfed for 3 weeks, after everything was figured out my time in Denmark was indescribable. "
Lynn P The University of Texas at Austin

A student Middlebury College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained a new perspective on how I view myself as an American and as a Filipino-American while in London. I learned from seeing so much London/West End theatre and about the culture around the arts. I gained a new love in my life -- London."
Mara P Wellesley College
"Very worthwhile. I learned important life skills for post-graduation life and I immersed myself in a very different, special culture that made me feel uncomfortable and alien at first but then I grew to love and appreciate. I also got to travel to 4 other cities in 4 different countries which provided so much global experience a..."

A student University of Northern Iowa
"Spending 5 months with IES was one of the best decisions I have made so far! I was given the opportunity to travel all across China, Tibet, and Southeast Asia, and I do not know of any other program that infuses this much travel into its itinerary. In five months, I experienced new cultures, foods, languages, and learned a treme..."
Zain J Claremont McKenna College
"My experience abroad allowed me to gain amazing cultural experiences and the chance to see and do things I would have never had the chance to do.
