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 have learned so many things that I do not even know where to begin. I am currently an intern in Italy, which is an opportunity most students do not gain when they study abroad. My school offered me an internship in the town of Sorrento, but I happened to become an intern at the school. Here, I get to work closely with the f..."

HyeJin J Brandeis University
"I studied at Trinity for the Hilary Term (spring semester) of 2014. I loved this program because the direct enrollment allowed me meet a lot of young Irish people--outside of my American roommates, I spent most of my time with my Irish peers. The IES staff offered us many opportunities to get better acquainted with Irish cultu..."

"It is hard to say in such a short space how amazing this year has been. It has been the best decision of my life, and has changed me in so many ways. I have loved being here (and as I write this I still have four months left). Being able to combine studying with travelling across Australia, as well as embracing the local cultur..."

"My experience at Sophia University was certainly worthwhile! The small campus atmosphere too away from my anxiety about being abroad in a country where I didn't speak the language. I made many friends from a variety of different countries and learned a lot about different cultures. Some things you just have to experience yoursel..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to be on my own a lot more and I learned more about myself as a person. For instance, I learned that I am not really a big fan of drinking a lot. Like, while I was there I did have a few beers here and there, but while I was there, I found out that the most fun times I ever had were when I was with good friends jus..."
Amanda N University of Northern Colorado
"I learned so much in just 4 months. The experience outside of classes was the best experience for me. I learned more outside of classes than in class. Being around a different culture and meeting people from many different cultures is the best experience a person could have (in my opinion). "

"I learned so much about myself, Australia, and the world in general while on exchange and traveling. Everyone was soo amazing, fun and supportive.

Alissa C University of Guelph - Outbound
"I loved living in Dublin. Not only did you learn about Ireland and Irish people and culture, you meet tons of other international students and other Americans. The classes were enriching, the teachers and advisers were great, and overall, it was simply a great experience. I was also able to spend a few weekends traveling not ..."
Janet H University of Northern Iowa
"Definitely was worthwhile. I learned many things about being independant and about different parts of the world and their lifestyle through interacting with other exchange students. Changed my life, giving me many friends all over the world "
Emmalea W University of Canberra
"I learned where my deficiencies in Hebrew were, and how I can work to improve them. I also met many different people who were learning Hebrew. I also was finally able to have entire conversations in only Hebrew with strangers. Though my reading is better, it could use work. I really need to work on my writing. It was very much w..."
Nathan Y Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself and how I adjust to a new lifestyle. How to deal with 100+ degree weather all the time. How to live out of a suitcase. How to communicate without using language. Everything I did and learned was amazing, and I'd love to do it again."
Bethany F University of New Mexico
"I learned a lot about myself and being able to travel to different countries on my own by planning all of my weekend trips. It was definitely worthwhile!"
A student Merrimack College
"I learned more than was taught in my intro bio classes: I learned how to be self sufficient, how to adapt to a brand new culture, how to appreciate a history that wasn't my own, how to travel in countries where I don't speak the language, and how to stand on my own. I made many friends (albeit friends from california) and travel..."

Nicole J University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
"My experience reassured my love for cultures and people. It reawakened a drive for learning and for travel. I was finally able to experience Middle Eastern culture and Islam first hand and was able to put all my fears, which stemmed from Western propaganda, to rest. I was able to make friends that I aim to keep for the rest o..."
Nahema C Villanova University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I got to know a lot of really great people from all over the world. I did some magnificent hiking, and had a great time! Saw tons of penguins, seals, and sea lions. I also got my first taste of traveling solo, and found it an enjoyable and empowering experience."
A student Wellesley College
"I was able to learn how to live on my own and deal with paying rent, signing leases, and planning trips. While these are extremely valuable skills I wish had had more time to enjoy the experience and not worry so much about money while I was there. "
A student Wellesley College
"My favorite part was traveling. I would choose a different program if I could do it all over again just so I could improve on my French or Spanish, but this is just a matter of personal goals / preference. Living in London was super fun as well. "
