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
"Not only did I learn under a different teaching style, I also got to experience cultures different by interacting with locals. Travelling around Europe was also extremely convenient, and traveling became part of the highlights of my abroad experience as well."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that I needed to step outside of my comfort zone in order to make friends and that it isn't too scary to go out and explore by yourself. My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile because it helped me become brave and independent. "
A student Brandeis University
"I met a lot of international and local students which created new friendships and i learned a little bit about law and Australia. it really was worthwhile."
A student Institut Catholique de Paris / Catholic University of Paris
"Yes! Academically I grew so much by being able to focus on my subject and participate in the tutorials. I improved as a writer and learned to produce a lot more work each week. Socially I made a lot of local friends and immersed myself in the culture. I learned a lot about Britain and its history, especially through the traditio..."
Mariela D Wellesley College
"- I took 300-level courses in economics, and learned about many aspects of economic issues - I improved my skills in making friends and connecting to others - I learned that I wanted to pursue an advanced degree after college"
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a cultural context to pair with my learning of the language. Yes, it was worth it. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about how I work under pressure and how I love the thrill of being under the gun and working in a pinch to learn a language or run to make a flight! Because of that I was able to fit right in in all the places I traveled to by being ready to jump into their culture and learn all about it."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so much about Korean culture, and I learned how to budget, live, and explore alone. It was amazing living in Seoul, and I would definitely recommend anyone to go. "
A student Wellesley College
"I honestly feel like I found my home in Bristol and hope to move back sometime in the future. I learned a lot about myself, other people, and how to travel. I matured. It was 100% worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a new non-US centric way to look at the world. So much of my personal experience and media exposure has been from a US perspective. Going abroad for such a substantial amount of time (relatively) helped me to realize the variety of most people's experiences. It was incredibly worthwhile."
A student Berea College
"A new perspective of not taking things too seriously. There's always another way."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"The experience was definitely worthwhile. There's nothing I wish I'd known before going that isn't just learning-while-doing, so I just suggest any prospective General Course students just go in ready to have a new experience, and be surprised by all the things they don't know."
A student Brandeis University
"Gained independence and a global perspective "
Jacob S Middlebury College
"It was definitely worthwhile! Doing the reading list made me improve individual learning skills and learned to pull challenging arguments together. Thoroughly analyzing these arguments helped me to better shape my own judgements when discussing these ideas with my tutor."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a new appreciation for Israel and a deepening of my own Jewish Identity. It was one of the best things I've done in my life as it gave me not only a deeper appreciation for the world and non-American culture, but also furthered my own connection and identity. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned to work with even more international students, as well as how to learn from a different educational system."
A student Wellesley College
"I think it was academically worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"Yes, the experience was surely worthwhile. Since the system allows for a lot of self scheduled time, I was able to master time management, hone my research and essay skills, while also leaving room for learning beyond the scope of my major. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to be independent and how to adapt to a foreign country. I learned how to enjoy my own company and realize that I can enjoy traveling by myself. I also learned not to go into any situations with expectations, because regardless of if it's better or worse than you expected, it's never going to be what you thought it..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Knowledge, perspective, a greater respect for academic rigor and a better ability to communicate my position on academic and social topics. It was worthwhile to learn and write in a different style. "

A student Brandeis University
"I really enjoyed my study abroad experience. I think it was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I have learned so much during my time abroad and gained new perspectives on life. Not only has my Chinese language proficiency greatly improved, but I also learned so much about my own Taiwanese heritage and culture and wa..."
