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 learned that translocating yourself to a different place for a year can be a bit intimidating--especially when you have an established routine/set of friends at Wellesley. It was worthwhile to me to try something different, and although it wasn't always easy or fun, I think it was extremely worthwhile. I learned not to be too ..."

"Being in Nottingham taught me to search for self-motivation, persistence, getting things done with little or no help from the university. Most importantly, I have established a social life outside of the university. I met fantastic people though my job and now I think I'm somewhat ready to leave Middlebury, knowing that I can ma..."

"I was challenged academically to the point where I now better understand what interests me and what doesn't. I also learned to live in a large city, which brings many positive and negative learning experiences with it!"
A student Wellesley College
"It was very worthwhile but I think the most important thing that I learned is that I do not wish to live and work in Asia. If I had not studied in Singapore, I might not know that and might have taken the opportunity blindly later on. I also gained a more international perspective, from both Asian citizens and European, South Am..."

"I gained perspective on the education I'm receiving at Clark."
A student Clark University - Worcester
"I can't honestly say that this was the most transformative experience for me. However it was a great time, I got to spend time in a country that I was unfamiliar with, and I also had opportunities to travel to other parts of Europe. I do not in any way regret my decision to go here, but I think if you are an American looking for..."

"I learned so much Spanish and gained so many friends from Canada, Korea, Saudi Arabia, and more! It was definitely worthwhile to push myself outside my comfort zone and experience a new culture!"
A student Loras College
"Istanbul was an awesome city and definitely not what I expected. There is such a rich culture and history in the city and great nightlife. I'm glad that I chose to come to Istanbul rather than a traditional European study abroad destination, which I had originally planned to do. I learned so much about Turkey and the Middle East..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"What I learned the most was not so much from the classroom lectures, but from being fully immersed into a new culture. This experience has made me want to experience other cultures as well in the same way."

"So many perspectives you will learn about. Being outside the US was a great experience and has helped me find out what to do with my life. Gives you a better appreciation for your home country. "

"Things you cannot describe. You learn how to handle different situations, things you are not used to. You adapt to the local culture and that is a skill that you can apply in any other culture you find yourself in."
Bjorn B
"I learned more about myself and my capabilities. I loved being in Europe and experiencing a new culture."
Rachel M Presbyterian College
"I gained a more complete sense of identity my time abroad. It was eye-opening, to say the least, to explore my Korean roots as a Korean-American college student. It definitely tied up a lot of loose ends while opening up more questions."

"I learned about life in and the history of Istanbul. Although I had a great time, I wish I had integrated more into the local community."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"A lot and yes"
A student University of the Pacific
"Just living abroad was great. The Wellesley community, while great, can feel so small sometimes, and it was absolutely fantastic to live in a big city. I never realized before I went abroad how much I needed it and I feel like I've gotten so much more independent from the experience. "
A student Wellesley College
"Great courses. Great independence. "
A student Wellesley College
"My independent learning/research skills improved with practices, and I traveled to many European countries and British cities when I had chances. I was not stressed with exams, and I had greater freedom with time that even I picked up playing piano again. "
A student Wellesley College
"It changed my perspective on a lot of things and I began to understand other ways of life as well as learned more about the people around me. I think it was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Loras College
"yes"
A student Wellesley College

Joel L The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how oblivious Americans are to world politics and learned how to become a better global citizen "
A student Berea College
"new academic system"
A student Wellesley College
"people are so nice, which makes me much easier to communicate with them. professors are great, and my international trade's professor is from Tuft. He is kind and i like the lecture very much. it is absolutely worth."
A student Brandeis University
"I think it was definitely worthwhile. Although I was not that satisfied with the education I received at University College London, I loved the city, loved the people, and overall I had an amazing time."
