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 was definitely worthwhile. I learned so much about myself and what I can do alone ( without my friends and family)"
A student Truman State University
"I got a better understanding of how foreigners entering our country feel. Overwhelmed with learning a new language and new culture, However if you embrace it and know that it will not be easy you will have one of the best experiences of your life"
A student Brookdale Community College
"Totally worthwhile. I was challenged by dealing with a new school system and interacting with people in a foreign language."
A student Western Washington University
"I gained friends and the ability to look at things from a different perspective. Like I mentioned before, there is not only an American way to do things. My experience also taught me to take myself a little bit less serious, which I desperately needed. American universities are some of the best and most rigorous, which is great,..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Dont sweat the small stuff. Dont try to plan out all of your travels, go with the flow. "
Ashley C University of Maine at Orono
"I gained valuable international experience, both in the UK and outside while making global friendships. It was also an important lesson in independence and living on your own."
Caitlin L Wellesley College
"Honestly it comes down to being reliant on yourself and confident enough to just throw yourself out there and not be afraid of making mistakes. It sounds easy, but at the end of the day it's much harder than you think. It was the best year of my life and I've already booked a flight to go back during break"
ryan m The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to manage my own money, to find my way and read maps, to keep myself safe while still being able to make friends, and to generally be more independent. I would consider those things very worthwhile."
A student Trinity University
"I gained a broader sense of the world and the roll that I continually choose to play in it. I learned that there are so many lives out there that we will never get to see or experience, but as this is so, we all have the capability to see and experience as much as we can (especially as students) and I think it is important as yo..."
Thomas B Western State College of Colorado

A student Wellesley College
"Rigorous academic studies with a lot of fun in the city."

A student Wellesley College
"yes"
A student Wellesley College
"Yes it was totally worthwhile!!!!!!! I learned how to connect with a new culture, how to speak some of the language and how their culture is so different from ours. I loved every bit of it.... Loved it so much I took my mom back 3 years later. :)"
Natalie T Missouri State University
"Europe is amazing. However I learned that you really need to look into the cracks and fine print when looking at something this big."
Joseph R SUNY - Buffalo
"I gained an awareness of those around me. I'm a white suburban middle class girl, and so I have never been in a situation that took me really outside of my comfort zone. This experience did that. I did not speak the same language as the majority, and so it taught me patience with those learning English. I also learned the true m..."
