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 definitely worthwhile! I gained many international friends and learned a lot about the European cultures as well as the Asian cultures that I was able to travel too. "

"Definitely worthwhile. Learned to be more independent and learned about living abroad and all that comes with it. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was a very tough program, but it was completely worthwhile. Take 3 or 4 classes if your home university will let you. I learned about so many different cultures, and got a better idea of what kind of work I'd like to do in the future (something international)"
Marc S Bentley University
"Totally worthwhile; a once in a lifetime experience. Learned so much about the relationship between America and foreign countries and I learned a lot about New Zealand culture. I also learned to be independent and entertain/care for myself for 5 months."
Daniel P Middlebury College
"I learned to live on my own in a city which will be very helpful moving forward. I got to see a lot of the world and gain new perspectives.The experiences i had abroad will contribute to future success."

"I learned how to be an independent person and how to take care of myself. I also learned that it is important to make friends with the local people rather than just being friends with Americans only. It was definitely worthwhile but I don't think I would be able to live in Australia for a long period of time again. "
Rachel K Middlebury College
"It was completely worthwhile. I learned a lot about patiences and accepting cultural differences. I also learned a lto about the EU. If I could do it again I think I would pick a different city in France just to get a bit more language exposure and see authentic French life outside of the big city."
A student Saginaw Valley State University
"One thing that I learned was that you have to go into every situation with an open mind. I met so many different people from different cultures. I also learned to be a lot more independent and I would say that it was definitely worthwhile"

"The biggest thing that I picked up from my study abroad experience was the enormous contrast in culture that Latin America has in comparison to the United States. In Chile, as well as other countries we were able to visit in South America we were able to speak with locals and learned the value of family and the importance th..."

"The best time of my life. Took my 4 months there for granted and now I want to go back and do everything all over again.

I've learned that there is so much more out there and became more ..."

"I learned a lot about being a global citizen. Since AIU has such a large international student population, you end up learning a lot about how the world works, and not just about Japan.
