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
"Scotland is full of warm people, and the international atmosphere of Edinburgh makes for vibrant culture. I learned the need to self-motivate integration into the social scene, and (relatedly) to spend time with myself in a busy city setting. It was very, very worthwhile!"
A student Middlebury College
"I gained a wealth of new experiences and new friends. It was the best decision I have made."
Noah G Middlebury College
"Learning how to put yourself in another country, learning the language, and fending for yourself is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. You learn so much. It gives you the confidence to keep trying new things especially in different countries. "
Lizelle P LaSalle University
"I learned how to be independent in a different culture, amongst people who spoke a foreign language, in an unfamiliar place. I learned so much about the history and culture of Italy but also about myself. It was definitely a worthwhile experience and I would do it again a million times if I could."
Meghan R SUNY - Binghamton
"What I gained is not measure in grades. I gained memories and experiences that will last a lifetime. I also learned about a culture that is rich, diverse and very old."
A student
"The greatest thing about being abroad was being able to live & breath the European culture & lifestyle. I had never left Texas before and so this was a huge change for me, in many ways. It was worthwhile in the sense that every stereotype or cliche i brought with me was put to the test. And while some may have held true, most..."
Kenny S The University of Texas at Austin
"I ultimately learned French, which was the goal. As well, I made a lot of international friends and had a chance to see cultures that weren't mine."
A student Baylor University
"Absolutely explored London a lot!"
Yu Z Wellesley College
"I learned a bit of French and a bit about French culture. Aix and I guess France as a whole is a first-world Western place like the US but the way of life is so different it might as well be on another planet. Experiences in the classroom and around town certainly shaped my career and life ambitions. But bring those Euros... she..."
A student Cornell University
"I participated in IAU's Marchutz School painting program, and found the experience extremely worthwhile. We painted in the landscape, participated in weekly seminars, and were taken on three field-study trips to better understand the surrounding artistic history and influence. We visited and painted in the same regions that Ceza..."

"I would only recommend this program to students who really understand the demands that will be asked of them. My courses were very thought-provoking and enjoyable, but they did consume the majority of my time abroad. Luckily, Cambridge has a very long spring break (4-5 weeks), when I was able to travel and have more of a traditi..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about myself as an individual, my country and my values. The experience was definitely worthwhile and I would do it all again if I had to. "
A student Presbyterian College
"I gained an understanding and appreciation for a different language and culture. Yes it was completely worth while, and I loved my experience. "
Anna S Presbyterian College
"Learned how to integrate quickly and think on the go. "
Benjamin M Boston College
"Studying abroad at Queen's Belfast taught me so much about what divides and unites people in different areas, about myself, about finances, and about self-reliance. I was extremely impressed with the program, the people, and Belfast as a whole, and would immediately recommend the program. "
A student Presbyterian College
"More then I can comprehend right now. "
Julian V The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot About the italian cultural after being fully immersed. "
Ashley P SUNY - College at Geneseo
"It's a great way to learn to adapt. The university system is completely different in England and it was an adventure to learn how to deal with different circumstances. I would say any abroad program is worthwhile. You'll be put out of your comfort zone multiple times but at the end of it you'll be able to adapt to many things i..."

"Intellectual maturity was the biggest thing I gained from my year abroad. In addition, it has helped me figure my area of interest for grad school. I'd say it was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to initiate and keep a conversation going with strangers."
Alice L Wellesley College
"The best part was making friends from all over the world and learning from them. That aspect was definitely worthwhile, but the academic part was terrible."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was pretty isolated, but I really learned who I was outside of other people. It was pretty hard, but it was absolutely worth it. I'm really glad I went."
A student Drake University
"My experience at LMH was definitely worthwhile. Academically, I flourished, because a large amount of the work there is self-guided, but with weekly or bi-weekly meetings with tutors (either individually or in pairs) to review the work closely and provide advice and critique. Socially, I found it easy to make friends, because ..."

"The overall program was amazing, I'd do it all over again but I'd be smarter with my money. Don't buy much when you first get there just because you're excited, you have plenty of time to buy souvenirs before you leave. What I like about the program was that we were encouraged to travel."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was great to get a new perspective on my major and be able to live in an environment very different from Wellesley. I think I gained a new sense of independence and really benefitted from meeting many new people and traveling around New Zealand. The hiking around South Island is pretty accessible from Dunedin and made for man..."
