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
"If you want the kitchen clean, you have to do it yourself, and that's okay. Living with boys is *incredibly* annoying, and I do not miss them one bit now that I'm back at Wellesley. Edinburgh public libraries only let you check out 12 books at a time, and that's unfortunate, but there's 27 of them to explore, which makes up for ..."
A student Wellesley College
"It was not so much gaining from living abroad but studying at LSE from which I gained the most experience from. The class I took was very interesting albeit being at a higher difficulty than Bentley's classes on average. Gave me a great taste of what it is like studying at LSE and how their campus is like. "
A student Bentley University
"I learned that I want to return to study in Sweden after I graduate from college."
A student Wellesley College
"When I first arrived I was put through a bit of a trial... after 30 hours of traveling arriving to the dingy filthy apartment with no AC, internet, and lacked any access to contact anyone I knew.... I realized it would be harder than I thought. However through the little trials I was put through I learned a lot about my self and..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a little more insight into my personal background as a Korean-American and a look into cultural customs. It was worthwhile and a memorable experience! The only reason I wouldn't choose the same program is because of personal reasons; as a Korean-American I wish I had chosen somewhere a little more out of my comfort zone..."
A student Brandeis University
"The most valuable part of this experience abroad is the internship experience. Being able to work in Brussels, the political hub of Europe cannot be matched on any other program."
Emily S Furman University
"Was it worthwhile, yes! I met so many amazing people. Even if I don't keep contact with all of them, I still have the memories of them and how they influenced my adventures abroad."
A student University of Maine at Orono
"With LSE being such a well-known, prestigious school worldwide, there were so many people from different countries in the summer program. I was able to see the world from so many different perspectives and learn new ways of thinking. Studying abroad at LSE was definitely worthwhile; I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
Kira G Bentley University
"Everything I experienced there was amazing."
Yumi K Knox College
"Living in London for 6 weeks was incredible, the classes were great--taught by reputable names with students from all over the world"
Matthew C Bentley University
"Learned and traveled to different parts of Japan, which made me learn different things that I could not have learned through a classroom. "
Nancy S University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Independence, confidence, the importance of a global perspective."
Harold L University of Maine - Orono
"i learned that i want to live in London. "
A student Bentley University
"I learned how to maintain composure while travelling in a foreign country, how to be culturally sensitive, and that I need to spend more time outside of my own country. It was entirely worthwhile, and I am looking forward to my next opportunity to travel abroad!"
A student University of Montana-Missoula
"Learned tons of life skills. Became more mature. Learned to manage my time. Made tons of friends. Found new interests. Really improved my French skills."
Zane S University of Maine at Orono
"I have made many international friends that I still speak to daily. I feel much more self-reliant and confident. I think that I would like to live abroad permanently. It was definitely worthwhile. "
Miranda B The University of Texas at Austin
"I made many friends, some who I didn't know from Bentley and many from all over the world. Learning with and about people from different countries and backgrounds on a whole new level than Bentley was incredible. I would do the program again in a heartbeat"
A student Bentley University
"I made a lot of new friends. The UK education is very different from US, its a little more strict and requires a lot more writing."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about how I interact with people in different political settings and I gained a lot more confidence in handling hostility."
A student Brandeis University
"The education was very useful and interesting in the sense that it was presented in a different fashion than usual. Usually, a course about Modern History would aim to envelop a more American-centric focus; however, it was interesting to be in courses where America was not even mentioned once. It was very worthwhile to see this ..."
A student Middlebury College
"I would definitely be open to living in Singapore at some point in the future. The program was worth doing, just wish I had gotten more time to spend there!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"ABSOLUTELY. I would do it again a thousand times over. Studying abroad teaches things about yourself that you will never learn just by studying in America."
Christian B The University of Texas at Austin
"I made so many friends from all over the world, grew more independent, fought my way through to acceptance and higher knowledge of a completely foreign culture, and found the place where I plan to spend the remainder of my life after graduation."
A student Berea College
"Going on the language intensive program, I definitely gained confidence in Chinese. However, more than the language, the experience was valuable because of the people that I met and the exposure to a culture and society that shaped how I thought about things and the direction I want to head in in terms of future goals and career..."
Jeanne K Northwestern University
"the history was worth it"
