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 thoroughly enjoyed my abroad experience with IAU. Aix is a great city for students - lively yet safe, and the people are very excited to share their culture. I felt supported by the university but not coddled. There are many opportunities to travel and learn through the university, but you still have the time and freedom to ex..."

A student North Carolina State University
"This was my fourth time studying abroad and each time I grew as a person and learned different things about myself. While at Sant'Anna I figured out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I realized how important international education was to me and started to figure out how I can make it a career for myself in the futur..."

"It was definitely worth while. It was challenging at times, I often tell people that my first day there was the worst day of my life, but that just meant that it could only get better from there... and it did! "
A student Presbyterian College
"I learned about Iceland and the culture itself and a lot more about other cultures from my European friends/housemates. I also grew as a person and learned to deal with things in life that I was not used to dealing with. Definitely worthwhile. I wish I could have stayed longer."
Nadir N University of Iceland
"I loved my experience and I gained a great connection with my host family and abroad friends! Would I chose it again? I would say "yes" because of all the good experiences that I wouldn't want to miss. However if I were to go abroad again for a second time, I would search for a program with a larger variety of art courses and mo..."

"Not really."
Bethany W Villanova University
"Out of all the possible Chinese cities to go to with no language skills, Shanghai is the most accommodating to foreigners. I enjoyed my experience and would love to go back but wouldn't spend as long of a time in the city since it was so western. "
Karen E St. Mary's College of Maryland
"Gain an exposure to a different culture. It was worth it."
A student Bentley University
"I learned a lot about Italian language and culture. The opportunity to have to practice my Italian outside the classroom definitely helped improve my communication skills in the language. I also learned a lot about traveling, which is something that I have always wanted to do. This experience has definitely made me want to explo..."

"SO worthwhile."
A student Bentley University

Rachel L Bentley University
"Independence. Definitely worthwhile."
A student Illinois State University
"Overall, I think I learned to ask questions. Learning about different cultures is fascinating, but talking to the people who live these different cultures every day was one of the best things I will take back with me. The experience was more than worthwhile. "
Jacqueline K The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about myself in terms of how to overcome difficulties that I used to depend on others to help me with. NZ is a generally safe and easy country in which to travel, so I learned how to travel and hike alone which helped me realize that I could be more independent than I had been at Midd. This experience also helped..."
