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
"It was worthwhile. I learned how nice people can be. I am glad i chose Turkey because most people want to sincerely help you with everything. It is also an very welcoming, family based place."
A student Presbyterian College
"I became extremely independent and able to be in large groups of people comfortably. You learn conversational skills, and skills for meeting new people (you're going to a place where you know NO ONE so you have to try!)"
Emily C University of Maine at Orono
"I gained independence and resilience, which were important and worthwhile lessons to learn, although I did not like the way I had to learn them."
A student Wellesley College
"I met so many incredible people and had so much fun. I would do it again in a heartbeat."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that i freaking love australia."
florian h The University of Texas at Austin
"I made tons of friends from all over the country and the world. I got to immerse myself in Irish culture and see which stereotypes were true. I shattered some stereotypes of Texans, too. I came home with the desire to travel my own country and see the fun things it in too. It was definitely worthwhile and I wish I could go back."
Stephanie S The University of Texas at Austin
"Well, this is broad. I learned a lot about myself, socially. I'm more sure of the types of people I do and do not want to associate with. I also learned that flexibility goes a long way in a country like Perú: everything from the transit system to the service sector is informal and requires a bit of aggressiveness to get what yo..."
Gordon W The University of Texas at Austin
"Outside the disappointing school aspect, the overall abroad experience was very enriching."
Megan J American Business School - Paris
"I learned how to communicate better with people whose beliefs and values are different from my own in a positive manner (and I even became friends with some of them!) I also learned more about what I value in other people and what I like to see when I travel and/or live somewhere. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about the Irish people and Europeans in general. The trip was extremely worthwhile."
Logan M University of Central Florida
"i learned so much i dont think i could express it all in this word box. I learned about cultures, languages, myself, beers, europe, the transportation systems. I learned to enjoy life and not take happiness and the little things for granted. But i would reccomend getting a bike once you get here. Spring and summer are expone..."
Ethan S Western Washington University
"It gave perspective on the affluence of the United States even relative to other developed countries, such as Portugal and Spain. "
Dale E Loras College
"I spent all of my time working one-on-one with my professors. It was great because it meant that I got to learn about exactly what interested me, as well as hone in on particular writing skills that I felt I lacked. The professors themselves were incredibly learned, interesting and, for the most part, kind. I'm not sure I cou..."

"I learned to get by with less stuff. I saw many different ways that people live across Europe. I also gained many new friends. Studying abroad was definitely worthwhile. If I did it over again I would probably think about going somewhere a little more exotic, but London is a fantastic city with free museums, lots of shows, and a..."
A student Trinity University
"My Chinese improved so quickly and dramatically I still haven't processed the idea that I seriously would spend days and days without speaking a word of English. I am planning to try to recreate many of the dishes I got to taste in China over the next semester because it was so healthy and delicious. I was homesick a lot of the ..."
A student Trinity University
"I loved being abroad in London: it felt like the beginning of my ascent into adulthood. The independence I had and the accessibility of a social life and travel made me feel empowered and helped me solidify my wants and my personality. I am very fond of the friends I made and the classes I took. If I could change it, though, I w..."
Lucia A P Wellesley College
"It pushed me and helped me grow academically, and I gained many new friends. It was definitely worthwhile!"
Anna T Wellesley College
"I learned I could live on my own, which felt great. I gained a few very close friends which made the year worth it. "
A student Wellesley College
"It was generally worthwhile, although what I really enjoyed was having the time to travel rather than the program itself. The two six-week long breaks and the limited class time commitments meant I could go a lot of places. I went on Mediterranean cruises (go with a lot of friends if you do--it's more fun and cheaper, and it o..."
jlin5 Wellesley College
"While I was abroad, I grew into the person that I am today. I am a strong and independent woman and before I studied in Israel, I was sheltered and did not realize how much more was out there in the world. The lifestyle, culture, and sites of Tel Aviv are incredible and if I could, I would do it all over again, even the summer h..."
Shayna M University of Rhode Island
"Where do I begin! I learned what it's like to live in Tel Aviv: from grocery shopping, to public transportation, local cuisines - and all the while learning how to grow from the experience. It was life changing. "
kaylee v California State University - Chico
"While abroad I took a large leap forward and matured. When returning home I was prepared and anxious to take on any experience and opportunity that came my way."
A student University of Vermont
"I learned a lot about the australian culture and their views on the world. It was exciting to see how another country lifestyles and traditions."
A student Providence College
"I learned about a different lifestyle than America. It opened my horizons and I gained insight on European business through my internship and about European culture. It was the most beneficial experience ever, and I can not stop recommending it. "
A student University of Oklahoma
"Living in a culture different than your own. Definitely worthwhile."
A student Loras College
