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 learned so much about the Spanish language and culture. I also was lucky enough to travel to a few different places and experience their cultures. It was the best time of my life and I miss it so much!"
A student Susquehanna University
"I became a stronger and more independent person. It was worthwhile, but maybe at a different point in my life."
Claire B The College of William and Mary
"I learned A LOT about the culture/ the people. I had an image of Japan before I went, and it was definitely altered. I actually left with more questions than what I came with. Japan is truly a unique place, and people cant even begin to understand it until you've spent a good amount of time there."
Marissa B Clark University - Worcester

A student Austin College
"I gained a sense of self, determination, and confidence. It was amazing, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
rachael.holloway.90 Westminster College, MO
"I learned to be self-sufficient and take my relationships with new friends to heart. I also learned the incredible importance of travel. "
rae N Cornell University
"Definitely worthwhile. I no longer "bike like an American" which I was told in the beginning. Note: if you go to Uppsala the first thing you should do is buy a bike! I made some good friends, got a lot of insight into Swedish culture and improved my Swedish, and became addicted to coffee after a dark winter and many "fika" brea..."
Emilie P Tufts University

"By doing this specific study aboard I gained a more global perceptive because of all the International people I met in the program. I learned so much about Korea and it's culture as well as it's people. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I'm so glad I decided to do this program. "
Jessica-Marie S University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Obviously, it is difficult for me to reduce it to a sound bite without sounding trite, but I did my best do envelop myself in an education tradition different, though not unfamiliar, from my own. This is very worthwhile and gives me access to different pools of knowledge and methodologies and frames of thinking. "
A student William Jewell College
"wisdom"
brett C Tufts University
"I gained life skills, new friends, the ability to be able to say I lived and studied in another country for five months, and an amazing experience to look back on. It was definitely worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned that traveling the world and seeing other places is crucial in life. "
A student Middlebury College
"Absolutely worthwhile. Aside from my tutorials, I think I learned the most from the wide array of people whom I met while in Oxford. I made more friends from different cultural, religious, family, and socio-economic backgrounds than ever before. "
A student William Jewell College
"It was absolutely worthwhile! I grew a ton academically. I learned a lot about myself, about being independent and going out of my comfort zone, about living in a place that's pretty different from home. I also gained a lot of perspective on how the rest of the world views Americans and (sounds cliche) what it means to me to be ..."
A student William Jewell College
"I gained so much that I honestly could not describe it now. It was very worthwhile."
A student St. Cloud State University
"I learned a lot about myself, how I improved and really a lot of self-growth and reflection. Definitely worthwhile. A journey to discover oneself in their lifetime is always worthwhile."
A student University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I learned that I have a passion for traveling and for past cultures. It was absolutely worthwhile."
Shae R New Mexico State University
"From studying abroad I gained a stronger sense of independence as well as much greater confidence to get out and talk to new people. It was definitely a worthwhile experience and gave me many skills and new opinions I don't think I ever would have learned from staying inside the USA."
A student University of the Pacific
"I gained a higher knowledge and appreciation for art history. It was a worthwhile experience because I studied the art and then go to see it in the museums. London has a lot to offer when it comes to arts."
