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 gained confidence in my professional abilities. I also learned I can take care of myself in a country where I am alone and may have language issues. "
A student Bentley University
"There's so much to learn and experience about the world outside of the United States. Travel between European states deemed much cheaper than expected, surprisingly, so it was great to experience different cultures in such close proximity to one another. I also learned a lot about my family's heritage through a genealogical sear..."
Rachel H Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about myself, the world, and life in general. Getting OUTSIDE and AWAY from the US is the best thing anyone can do, if only for a little while. Other countries are SO MUCH MORE put together than ours is... People are kind, wonderful, and polite abroad. It was an amazing refresher on cultural differences."
Justin L The University of Texas at Austin
"EXPERIENCE, EXPLORE"
Tian L Brandeis University
"I met a lot of different people and I learned a whole different academic system. Set in a unique environment, London provides a lot of opportunity to engage and learn from academics, societies, and cultural events. One of the KEY experiences at the LSE (different from small liberal arts college) is the significant amount of use..."

"Too much to put into words--it was incredible."
Fletcher V Beloit College
"A better appreciation of the world"
A student Middlebury College
"It was simply the best thing that could have happened to me. Loved everything about it. "
A student Middlebury College
"to be more selfish and competitive, because the world it's turning into it!"
A student
"My study abroad was an amazing experience! I really fell in love with Israel, and learned about Israeli culture and history. I would go back in a heartbeat!"
A student Amherst College
"how to integrate among different cultures"
Graziella D Tel Aviv University
"I got to meet some very interesting people, and see some things that I otherwise would not have been able to."
dbressler Bentley University
"The experience I gained from SNU was absolutely worthwhile and unforgettable. How hard local students work in school and in social life gave me so much motivation and new lessons. I plan to keep in touch with the local and international friends I made on exchange and to continue this exchange life. Although it was only for a few..."
SunMin L The University of Texas at Austin
"It was an incredibly worthwhile experience. You really learn so much about yourself when you get to disconnect from what you are comfortable and used to. "
Megan C The University of Texas at Austin
"It was DEFINITELY worthwhile. I would encourage anyone to study abroad. I think most of all I gained a lot of confidence to do things by myself. I knew no one going to Italy and I made so many friends (many of them American), but I was really able to use skills to navigate around cities and go out on my own and interact with tho..."
A student Marquette University
"Definitely Worthwhile. Gained adventures of a lifetime."
A student Bentley University
"It was worthwhile and I will gain plenty of experience that will help me as I move on into a career."
Kathleen H Illinois State University
"I loved living with international students in Saint Petersburg. It's an amazing city and being around people who weren't American was just as culturally enlightening as living in a complete immersion environment. Also, we had way more freedom than students who were in the city on programs designed for American students."
A student Tufts University
"I learned to be more independent. It was completely worth it."
A student Illinois State University
"I learned to enjoy solitude. Most of the people I met in my dorm were not really concerned about anything that I was concerned about. People at the school were not very engaged in their program of study so I spent most of my time by myself. I suppose that is important. "
A student Middlebury College
"Very worthwhile and it is very important to see what it is like living in another country other than the USA."
Eric T Illinois State University
"I gained more sympathy for the immigrant experience. I learned to better deal with situations where things were out of my control. I learned more conversational Spanish and I learned how to make friends in another culture. I learned how to try new things but to still be true to myself. I learned how to be away from home for ..."
A student Brandeis University
"Independence, new friends, perspective. Definitely worthwhile and recommended"
Kelsey R Bentley University
"It was so worthwhile! I made friends that feel like family to me. It was nice living in dorms because I was really integrated into the culture, living with majority British students"
Camille K Middlebury College
"While in Ireland, travel as much as you can. Traveling is easy and relatively inexpensive, both in the country and to the continent. The Irish are incredibly friendly, helpful, and witty. You'll learn a lot about the culture and people as long as you're open minded, you'll have quite an adventure. It'll be the craic!"
Nicole L The University of Texas at Austin
