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
"1. I learned that the United States is an amazing place to be and that I'm happy to call it home; Europe is not a better place to live (at least for me!). 2. I learned to study ahead of time for exams by doing a little work some days of the week in the fall and spring (while the exams were in late April/May). That preliminary s..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned so much about myself, Australian culture, and living independently. This is a great program. "
A student The College of William and Mary
"Absolutely worthwhile. I learned about new people, cultures and ways of life. It was awesome."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so mu ch about myself and how "the system" is unfair, and how in many parts of the world you cannot question authority. It was definitely worth while but I've never felt so unwanted in my life. It sucked. "
A student Truman State University
"It was completely worthwhile- I had a wonderful time and it has definitely changed my life- it's great here. If people want something not quite Europe or the North America, but not like much of Latin America, then it's the place to go. A unique country and quite interesting. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I always rolled my eyes when people would say that "study abroad is a life changing experience", "you make life long friends", etc. But it's true. Every word of it. Studying abroad gives you a type of clean slate. This is your chance to grow as a person and change without the influence of close friends or peers. Normally being a..."
Sidney C The College of William and Mary
"I know that I can handle myself in an international environment, in terms of figuring things out like car rentals, food, housing, and living with very different personalities. I enjoyed my experience solely based on the people I met and the places I was able to travel to. I wouldn't go there again, its too expensive, but I'm gla..."
Liz K University of Wisconsin - Stout
"It was ABSOLUTELY worthwhile! Any time spent traveling is time spent learning. I think that I learned more just from spending time in another place, and then what I learned at school just added to that. It is as much about living the experience with an open mind and wanting to learn as it is about strictly the academics."
Mary G Barnard College
"I learned to be more open minded. "
Garrett W Presbyterian College
"Greater appreciation of the culture and country and better command of the Spanish language."
JohnGibson50 Truman State University
"It was very worthwhile. I developed friendships that are valuable, i learned a great deal about a side of southern Africa I had yet to encounter."
Rafael K Middlebury College
"It was definitely worth it. It taught me to be independent and how to grow as an individual."
A student University of Northern Iowa
"I gained a massive appreciation for the wonder of nature. New Zealand has an extremely low population density, especially on the South Island, which makes it unique to the States in that so much of the country is available for protection and a lot of it is now. I also learned that New Zealand is not a particularly green country,..."
Erik W Middlebury College
"I learned so much about Italy and Europe in general. I would say that I gained a lot of knowledge about the world in general by stepping outside of my bubble and gaining a new perspective. In addition, I learned a lot about of myself: my character, my strengths and weaknesses, etc. Words cannot express how beneficial study abroa..."
A student Presbyterian College
"I was absolutely worth while! I learned a lot, improved my writing skills, and made fantastic friends from all over the world."
A student Fordham University
"I became a better student, writer, and reader and learned to live more independently. It was by far one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a great deal about Scotland and its culture while meeting some great people (with whom I'm still in contact). I learned to work with different professors and their teaching methods. My semester abroad was absolutely worthwhile - I wish I could do it again!"
A student Wellesley College
"It was life changing and I feel much more matured and grown."
Megan O Illinois State University
"I learned so many things about myself and other people. I learned how to make friends when you don't know anyone, and live and get along with all different types of people. It was nice to know that if one day I have to move to a brand new city I will survive."
A student Marywood University
"A different way of living and it was worthwhile."
valerie.lynn.7712 Illinois State University

A student Middlebury College
"I learned that I don't really like studying that much. "
A student Middlebury College
"Yes. So much cultural exposure and wonderful new people."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned so much about myself, about the Spanish culture, and about traveling internationally alone. It was more than worthwhile! I wish I didn't have to come home."
A student Illinois State University
"yes, cultural differences and similarities"
A student University of Northern Iowa
