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 could be independent and maintain a really good balance between social life and academic life. It helped me to loosen up and become less worried about organising life down to the final second."
Claire R University of Wollongong
"It's impossible to use words to describe everything I learned while abroad, but I can do my best. First off, I learned how to live independently and share an apartment with other people. I also became a much more savvy traveler, which will help me a lot in the future. More importantly, I learned a lot about myself and what thing..."
A student Illinois State University
"Learning to let go of control and take things as they come. I can't plan everything in my life and not everything will last forever. This experience has taught me to live everyday and not look back. One of the most worthwhile things I've done. "
Ryan W Presbyterian College

A student Curtin University
"Independence What it's like being in a totally different culture Definitely worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"I gained so many experiences outside of a classroom. I saw sights people only dream of, and I learned how to quickly adapt to many cultures. This was completely worthwhile, for I know I have a more rounded sense of knowledge."
Leah C Loras College
"It was challenging but really fun. UEA is a great uni, with great staff, great classes and great opportunities. I definitely recommend it :)"
A student University of Tasmania
"On the surface, I learned more than I ever hoped for about Chinese language, culture, history, politics, and international relations--and loved all of it! On a deeper level, I gained tremendous self-confidence from living in a foreign country with a host family that I could never have experienced in the United States."
Alyssa S Villanova University
"Learned a tremendous amount about my personal interests, how to live in a city, and walk long, long distances to save money. It was worthwhile, but not ideal. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was definitely worthwhile moving to Norwich to attend UEA. I loved the cohesiveness and comprehensiveness of the campus and its services, I thought the town was really sweet and I made lots of really good friends. I also gained an appreciation for some aspects of my own uni, and gained independence and confidence in my organi..."

"Taking advantage of school breaks to travel everywhere was the best part of my study abroad. I was able to actually see Britain, not just my dorm room. Those trips and the friends I made on them were life-changing. "
A student Goucher College
"I gained both academic and social/personal experience. I learned to adapt to new academic situations and new social ones as well. I made some amazing friends in a short time period and it was worth all the money and effort it took to go on exchange."
A student University of British Columbia
"I loved being in a city and having all of the cultural/culinary/other experiences that provided. It was worthwhile to explore a new place and to come back to Middlebury with a greater appreciation for the things I had missed while abroad. "
A student Middlebury College
"I got the chance to have great conversations with brilliant professors about books i actually wanted to read. I made friends from all over the world.

A student Wellesley College
"Very worthwhile! Interesting classes and a great city."
A student Tulane University
"I learned a completely different academic approach to learning, much more based on independent study and scholarly research than my American experience. I learned how to travel well, how to adjust to a new city, to bond with and relate to a group of international friends, how to be optimistic, and to be more outgoing."
A student Middlebury College
"I went to learn, not make friends so in that sense it was a success."
A student University of Technology - Sydney / UTS
"Independence, and belief in my own choices. The drive to make the most of any chance you get, and also learning that sometimes you don;t have to say yes to everything. I have access to great new perspective on my course of study, very good staff, and amazing facilities. Being away from a big city gave me the chance to rest betwe..."
