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
"This trip was so worthwhile. I have never had so much fun in one week. Being in Dublin heightened the experience of the show for everyone involved."
Andrea S Lynn University

Amber A Plymouth State University
"I didn’t know what to expect when I stepped off the plane in Beijing, signaling the start of my study abroad experience, but IES Beijing made the transition smooth and easy and created one of the most exciting experiences of my life to date. The weeklong orientation was not only extremely helpful in adjusting (especially with je..."
A student Wake Forest University
"Confidence and a desire for independence. The Irish culture is so much more laid back than America, and it was a welcome relief. I want to see as much of the world as I can now."
Evan G Plymouth State University
"My experience was very empowering. I did a lot of independent travel to many countries. My abilities to budget my money, school commitments, and travel time improved greatly. I learned a lot about the culture of the UK and Ireland. I would definitely say it was worthwhile. "
A student University of Maine at Orono
"My time in Uppsala was most definitely one of the most formative experiences of my entire life. I met friends from all over the world who, a year later, I am still in touch with. I had the chance to travel, but for the most part I enjoyed staying in Uppsala because there were always things to do. One really cool unique trip we d..."
A student University of Connecticut
"I gained a stronger sense of confidence & sense of self; it was a very worthwhile experience."
A student Frostburg State University
"AUR's professors are truly invested in their students. My classes were hands on and mainly discussion-based. The student-life office is also a great resource for anything and everything you may need. They highly encourage getting to know Rome, especially on a local level. I can honestly say that the university helped me grow as ..."
Michele C University of Maryland - College Park
"I gained the opportunity to learn a new culture and see Italy which is something I've always wanted. I also got the privilege to meet amazing people while doing it and working with the school staff and students closely. I was able to build great relationships with the people I've met. "
A student Santa Reparata International School of Art
"I learned how to take things slow and enjoy the little things in life. Family and friends are one of the most important things you have so spend time with them when you can. Live on the edge and do things outside your comfort zone. "
Alyssa L University of Wisconsin - Madison
"Learned how to do things on my own. Definitely worth it."
henry.erdman University of Wisconsin - Madison

A student Quinnipiac University
"I am so incredibly glad that I made the effort to go on this program. It took some finagling, but the experience was incredibly worth it. I had such a great time learning about the history of Turkey, learning the language, exploring the country (we went on incredible trips with the program), and everything else that this program..."
Samantha B Duke University
"I learned to completely immerse myself in another culture. I adjusted to their way of life and their customs. It was eye opening to see how another culture lives and goes about their daily lives. It was definitely worthwhile and I would do it again and again."
Rachel R Indiana University - Bloomington
"I learned that I can travel comfortably on my own and adapt to a completely new culture. I definitely became more confident and independent and my horizons were broadened in terms of history and art. It was definitely worthwhile and an experience I think every student should try to take advantage of."
rebecca.sales1 Indiana University - Bloomington
"It was definitely worthwhile because of all of the traveling that I was able to do. That is one thing that Milan is good for, they have three airports so it was very easy to get to places I wanted to go to. I have learned a lot about other cultures and was able to meet a lot of really cool people. But, I do not attribute any of ..."
Ellen A Purdue University
"Gained a lot of new friendships and experiences travelling. It was worthwhile"
Trent K Texas A&M University - College Station

Timmy N California State University - Long Beach
"make sure you take the right classes! "

"What I gained/learned abroad, I feel, cannot simply be answered in this box."
A student University of Maine at Orono
"During my time abroad, we did a lot of traveling as well as teach in schools. While we were traveling, we encountered many different languages that I did not know. This lead me to feel like a student who does not know English and figure out how I could help them learn. I also further learned how to work with diverse learners and..."
Emily M Illinois State University
"I learned a lot about a culture I had previously known nothing about, I met people with very different backgrounds and views on life, I participated in activities I didn't even know existed, I had the opportunity to go to countless historical sites, and I built self confidence in myself. This study abroad program is for the more..."
