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 so many wonderful people, and had the best time of my life. I wish I could go back and do it all over again. Greece is an amazing country. "
Rachel H University of North Dakota
"What I gained from studying abroad was how to make new friends and adapt to different cultures. I also learned to take responsibility for my finances as well as how to cope with being away from my family for six months. Therefore, I feel I learned a lot of positive life lessons and that the experience was definitely worth while."
A student University of Maine at Orono
"I loved learning about Italian culture and tradition, but I would have loved to remain for an entire semester and year and fully immerse myself in the city and language. The Santa Reparata staff was extremely warm and welcoming, and very helpful with all of our questions. I would absolutely return to Santa Reparata. "
rebdigiovanna University of Tennessee - Knoxville
"I learned a lot about myself and I learned how to become extremely independent and take matters into my own hands. The trip was absolutely life changing and I will never take for granted the experiences and memories that I have from it."
A student University of Northern Iowa
"This experience changed my life and how I look at the world. As my first time living in a foreign country, it taught me that the American way of living is not universally considered the best way to live. I learned that I can live off of a lot less than what I'm used to, and that it's possible to be happy without all the luxuries..."
Ashley A University of Northern Iowa
"I learned much more about the French language, and I feel much more fluent in it as a result of the program. I also learned a substantial amount of Québéc and its culture in addition to learning about Canada as a whole."

"friendships and a better understanding of conflict "

"A lot of personal reflection time. It was fun being independent - cooking for myself and keeping my own schedule"
A student Middlebury College
"ACD is a great place to spend a few weeks in the summer. The program allows you to live in the center of Dublin and experience the city like you couldn't otherwise. Night life is phenomenal, and the country is small enough to have every significant sight within a short bus ride at most. I would recommend this program to absolute..."
Stephen A University of Minnesota
"Australia was amazing and I had the best time! The program wasn't the best and the school academics were not what I expected, but I also didn't expect too much for being abroad. Australia was the best place and has so much to offer! I would suggest Sydney Uni if you want more challenging academics."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying abroad is a once in a lifetime experience. Being immersed in another culture and language is something invaluable. I loved every minute of being abroad and I love all the friends I made. I will never forget the memories I made in Rome."

"It was interesting considering issues outside the lens of the American media."
loogandeebord The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much about the world. It's so much bigger than my school, than FL, than the US. That other cultures can teach us so much more than we ever imagined. That you can make friends in just one short semester and consider them friends for the rest of your life. It was %1000 worthwhile. I grew as a student, as a friend and ..."

"I learned an immense amount about Turkey and about the region - I can't wait to go back.

My Turkish skills improved throughout the semester and I was able to take classes that were challenging and int..."
