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 met amazing people. I got a unique perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I visited places that are holy to people of many different faiths. I had an amazing time. "
Marisa E The University of Texas at Austin
"200 % worth while. I wish I could have done the program for an entire year. Met so many international people, not just students from the UK. I learned how to be an American in an international setting. I learned that everyone is different but in many ways everyone is the same. Friendships and friendliness are things that will la..."
Evan C The University of Texas at Austin
"ACD is a tiny school, but great for actually immersing yourself within the Irish culture, learned tons about Ireland"
Mike C Lynn University
"It was definitely a worthwhile experience. I made a lot of friends, gained a lot of educational experience from working in a research lab and taking graduate level courses, and also was exposed to a lot of culture and diversity without traveling far from the university. "
Nathalie R Wellesley College
"I matured, learned how to handle myself independently in a place completely out of my comfort zone, and navigate and troubleshoot situations that I never faced before. I definitely feel prepared to tackle many more adventures and challenges in my future. "
Jaylan E Wellesley College
"It was absolutely worthwhile! The academic side was amazing. I loved the tutorial system. I learned so much and developed great relationships with my tutors. I also made amazing friends that I will keep in touch with. "
A student Wellesley College
"I grew so much as a person and learned a lot about myself and the world around me. It was not always easy (the culture shock was intense) but I wouldn't take back the experience for anything. If you really want to challenge yourself and mature, this is the program to do. Travel as much as possible, too!"
Brooke B The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained experience in my field of study with my internship and I made contacts and expanded my networking."
Justin T Upper Iowa University
"The trip was an extremely worthwhile experience: I learned about China, and I learned more Chinese than I ever could at home. The experience taught me that I would not want to live in China permanently, but that staying in China even once is a necessary component to knowing the culture and the language."
Julia S Trinity University
"I learned so much about the Italian culture as well as my independence. This experience was priceless and worth more than any amount of money to me. I wouldn't trade the world for my experience abroad. I loved every minute of it. The culture, the people, the food, and the knowledge I gained while I was there."
meredith.gettler Santa Reparata International School of Art
"I learned that there is more to the world than just the little part that I have seen. Being in a different country forced me to grow up and figure things out on my own. Also seeing different cultures makes you appreciate them much more. "
A student John Carroll University
"My writing improved."
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned about authentic english culture rather than the urbanized version of it. The classes were interesting, but the breaks in between while travelling Europe taught me about how to travel, different cultures, and also living by yourself. "
hannah z Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself, how I handle challenges and change, I think it was definitely a worthwhile experience."
Jessica P Trinity University
"I learned to be the girl I always wanted to be, and I discovered who I really am as a person."
A student University of Northern Iowa
"It was definitely worthwhile and I gained a new outlook on my own life as well as an appreciation for different cultures. "

Lucy Z Wellesley College
"I met knew people, and discovered a new city"
A student Brandeis University
"Living in Norwich did not feel like the radical departure I expected study abroad to be, and it did not feel adventurous, but once I accepted this fact I came to really love the coziness of the city. UEA may be made of duly concrete buildings, but I liked the hub of campus and the surrounding broad is gorgeous which more than ma..."
A student Middlebury College
"From my experience abroad, I learned how to live in a different country and culture, as well as how to learn and study in a new academic environment. I discovered what I like and dislike about academics, which has helped me narrow down what I hope to do in the future. I also made some very close friends, who I will continue to s..."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained confidence in myself and gained some of the best friends i'll have. I also gained a new perspective on life and people. My study abroad experience was very worthwhile and I am so happy that I did it and I wish I could go back!"
A student Presbyterian College
"I learned mostly about sustainability and food history in Italy and Europe. Half of the information I was already familiar with. "
A student Clark University - Worcester
"I learned about the lifestyles and customs of other cultures, as well as some of the different languages. I learned that in America, we are very fortunate for our freedom of choice and the many technologies that make life easier. My experience was definitely worthwhile, and if I had the money I would want to go again!"
Lauren P The University of Texas at Austin
