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
"1. Greater self-awareness: there's not even a language barrier for London programs, but it's still study abroad, and being away from my friends and my college for a year resulted in a certain sense of loneliness that forced me to get in touch with myself more than I had before coming to London. This experience is different for e..."

"I learned about Japanese culture first-hand. I learn how and why Japanese people think and act they way they do. It opened my mind to new ways of thinking and treating people. "
Stephanie O The University of Texas at Austin
"Improved my language skills, 110%. Confidence in myself. Life long memories. It was in every way worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"Lots of social integration and academic rigor "
A student Wellesley College
"Not only did I improve my Japanese skills, I explored a good portion of the region and all of the "mini cities" within the giant city of Tokyo itself. I made friends from all over the world, one of whom is a Japanese student from Sophia who has come to UT to study this year. It was extremely worthwhile!!"
Britt P The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely a worthwhile experience, it was difficult in the beginning because there was about three days of orientation and then you are completely on your own, but I would definitely do it again. While it does not sound like the typical study abroad experience, I had a great time at in Brighton, there is so much to between pub..."
Lina K Clark University - Worcester
"I think that I learned more from spending my time outside of campus than I did in class. I gained street skills and shortcuts to adapting to an unfamiliar culture. I definitely think that it was a worthwhile experience and would not hesitate to do it again if the opportunity presents itself. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned about the Italian culture, but I also learned more about American culture. I noticed the differences between both cultures and nations. My class allowed me to explore the topics of beauty and art and religion and how important they are to human cultures. I also learned how to dress better. Yes, my experiences were wort..."

"I became more outgoing and grew as an individual"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"The experience was definitely worth it and I've learned to keep an open mind about other people's cultures."
Aaron A University of Hartford
"I did so many things I would not have had the opportunity to do in the states. Meeting so many people vastly different than me made me more open minded. This trip was so worthwhile!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was very worthwhile. "
Seth W Presbyterian College
"I gained an appreciation for another culture and learned so much about other people as well as myself. It has definitely made me a more mature person and I have a different outlook on the world now."
A student Bentley University
"I learned to move outside my comfort zone, how to cook for myself better, general self-sufficiency, and how to navigate Japan without too much trouble."
Peter M Clark University - Worcester
"I became much more patient after living in the local culture, which is less organized and has a slower pace than America. I gained independence when traveling around the city and other cities alone. I was able to stay outside of my comfort zone and find ways to make myself happy."
A student Loras College
"I learned so much about myself, the American dream, the pace/values of American culture compared to Italian. It was very worthwhile. I'm already trying to make plans to go back to Italy for an entire semester. "
Lindsey L The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. I grew up a lot, learning how to take care of myself in simple and challenging circumstances. My time abroad wasn't easy and it wasn't always fun. There were times when traveling was more difficult than it was enjoyable, but it was always a valuable experience. I learned above..."

"What I gained most from my experience abroad was the ability to live on my own in a completely new environment. "
Darren D Seton Hall University
"I learned to be a lot more independent. It was very worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Confidence! It was definitely worthwhile. I met lifelong friends."
Jennifer O Clark University - Worcester
"Without a doubt it was worthwhile experience. I learned heaps and I got to a point with my language skills that I can say I will never forget the language and even learned it to an academic level. Additionally, I never felt so intellectually stimulated, because besides learning in class, I was constantly learning about Brazil, i..."

"It was definitely worthwhile. Oxford has a very different education system, and while I prefer Wellesley's system, it did open my eyes to how students in the UK learn. It is also refreshing to meet professors with a very different set of expectations from what you're used to, and that pushes you to think outside the box."
A student Wellesley College
"Yes, it was worthwile"
A student Wellesley College
"Essentially, I got a fairer education outside the classroom than I did inside it. The format of General Course (finals = 100% of final grade) was an extremely difficult pill to swallow -- and one I'm still not satisfied with -- but the overall experience was worth it because now I have friends from three different continents tha..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned some personal things about myself and I also got a sense of what it's like to live in a country which I hope to move to some day."
