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 will never forget it and I recommend it to any person wanting to study abroad, especially in Germany because of the low cost for the program."
tyler.billman.3 The University of Texas at Austin
"This experience taught me a lot about myself and gave me the courage to try new things and meet new people. It was an absolutely amazing experience, and I would go back in a heartbeat. "
Frannie R Johns Hopkins University
"It was *definitely* worthwhile, and I do hope to be able to go back for graduate study. Among the things I gained from my year at St. Anne's is probably the experiential realisation that learning is far more enjoyable when it is conducted within an academic system that stresses in-depth, consistent work as well as in-depth discu..."

Shashika R The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying abroad you not only learn about the cultural but about yourself. It was worth it. "
A student Lynn University
"I learned a lot about myself, and I gained many valuable experiences and made a lot of friends from around the world besides Japan. It was worthwhile as an experience, but if I had to do it all over again I would have definitely gone somewhere else."
A student Western Washington University
"I learned a great deal about myself and how I react to different situations of stress. I also learned about what I believe defines American culture."
Mitchel L Western Washington University

alex s Middlebury College
"I learned more about myself. It was deff worthwhile!"
Gwendolyn C Lynn University
"I met lots of people from many different countries and had the opportunity to travel in Europe. I also got to experience another culture and be completely on my own. I would definitely recommend studying abroad! I enjoyed Madrid but I was ready to move on after a few months, so I think a program that takes place in a few differe..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I became much more independent and learned how to fully take care of myself. I learned a lot of hiking and camping skills. I learned a lot about wildlife and where my interests lie in biology. "
A student Middlebury College
"The streets of Dublin are littered with friendly international travelers! Going on this trip bolstered my confidence to go out and take chances. It's been my experience that people are pretty nice where ever you go and don't mind helping foreigners (except for London haha, don't know what's up with that place). Meeting new peopl..."
Erica t University of Central Florida
"I felt that I learned to be more independent, and I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible. I also think that I learned to appreciate other cultures, and most importantly that there is no one best way of doing things. "
A student Clark University - Worcester
"It can't really be summed up in a little box the things that I learnt and gained on exchange and I suppose that kinda says it all. Are you kidding? Of course it was worthwhile! I left wishing I could go back and relive the past 6 months over and over again! "
harriet.riley.73 Victoria University of Wellington
"I learned to adapt to a new culture, a new environment, a new way of living, a new language, new people, all by myself without any support from family or friends from home (except by phone/email). I think this experience really showed me what I'm capable of, and I'm really glad that I went by myself instead of with friends, beca..."

"Learned a LOT about cultures and cultural differences in Asia! "
Michelle M The University of Texas at Austin
"That different parts of the world live differently than we do in America, and that sometimes what we know is not the only or the best way to go through life. Instead life is something to enjoy at all points and that stress and work is a good drive to have, but should not take over your life. Every place I traveled throughout G..."
Julia E Worcester State University
"Learned a ton about English culture, but even more about American culture - I was their only American by the end of the year so I was the authority on all things American. I wasn't born in America so in the states I never considered myself to be that American, but this year I realized just how American I am. I also learned so mu..."
A student Middlebury College
"How to live alone in a foreign country, how to figure out travel plans, how to budget for living expenses. "
henry.miles1 Middlebury College
"It's better to treat it like you've just moved there than to treat it like a vacation. I believe I got more out of the experience because I tried to create more meaningful relationships with the people. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how incredibly small Europe is. I also learned that Germany is the best place to watch a World Cup, ERASMUS students (students in the EU) study abroad almost exclusively to learn a language and are not accountable for their GPA while abroad, and that John Travolta was right in Pulp Fiction when he said that Europe is b..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"The biggest and most important thing I gained from this experience was confidence. This was my first time abroad and it was totally worth while. "
UHH University of Hawaii - Hilo
