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
"Yes! I gained a lot of cultural perspective and confidence in myself. My experience made me more thoughtful, curious, self-sufficient, and linguistically skilled. I have memories that I will hold onto forever. I am so glad I lived in Mexico as a student. "
Anna M Smith College
"Yes"
Taylor-Kamara L Wellesley College
"Completely. I love it so much I am applying for another semester."
Elizabeth K University of Wisconsin - Madison
"I would do it all over again it a second if I could. I gained an appreciation for the culture of Italy and for their food, people, language, etc. I gained an independence and confidence to be able to travel by myself as well. I went to law school following my undergraduate career and studied abroad again in law school. My experi..."
Whitney H University of Massachusetts Amherst
"It was very worthwhile! I learned a lot about the Italian culture 1st hand. I learned things that you just can't learn from a book. I grew as a person and strengthened my friendships with many of my friends even while being so far away from them. In the end I didn't want to go home!"
Suzy M John Carroll University
"I've become more open-minded, and more prone to taking risks. It has made me a braver and more outgoing person (from living by myself, figuring out how to live on my own, all while knowing that John Cabot would be supporting me if something were to go wrong). "
Sonali B Bucknell University
"DEFINITELY! It is an amazing cultural experience and gave a greater perspective of the world, especially learnt the Arab side of the story about world politics."
Mujeeb D University of the Pacific
"After this experience I see in myself many ways I could grow and improve. The HKU campus was so international and it was frankly amazing that everybosy spoke at least two fluents perfectly. This program helped me confirm that I want to hold a career that is international mobile and sparked in me an interest in sustainable touris..."

"That's very objective and overall a useless question. If anyone says it wasn't worthwhile they have way larger issues to deal with. I can learn from any experience and it was no different. It was enlightening and while there were struggles, every adventure brings different outcomes, it was just another one."
Colin B Michigan State University
"Absolutely. There is no down side to cultural immersion. Yes, there will be things that you don't like. But you become a better person for having been exposed to them. Life is a collection of experiences, good and bad. A semester abroad gives you an abbreviated opportunity to have the life of someone else. You get to live in the..."
Nick S University of Florida
"I absolutely love Scotland and Aberdeen! I really learned a lot about the differences between words and pronounciations with people from the United Kingdom and the United States. I was also able to learn about their values and what is expected of students, parents, and neighbors. I was also able to learn a lot about other cultur..."
Sarah P University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"During this time frame, you learn the most about yourself; you grow as an individual and see many things in a more mature way."
Rebekah J Gustavus Adolphus College
"patience"
Claire L Austin College
"The trajectory of my entire life changed because I studied abroad. And I cannot imagine my life without it now. Since Rome, I've also lived in London and Chicago, and I'm getting ready for a move to NYC. However, I also have more opportunities and travel around the world more frequently, and I'm more conscious of other cultures ..."
Desiree P University of the Incarnate Word
"YES! I am a thousand times more confident in myself, and am much more able to adapt to new situations. Living in a foreign country always offers many challanges, especially when traveling, but the skills I gained are invaluable. My experience has also awakened my passions for international education and has given me the drive..."
Tess B University of Florida
"I wish that my time abroad never ended. It was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I gained so much independence, flexibility, and knowledge about living in an entirely different culture. I plan on visiting Rome at least 6 more times in my life because it is too amazing of a city to let go after a single study abroa..."
Kelsey B University of Miami
"Very worthwhile."

"Very worthwhile."

"This was an amazing experience that helped me gain cultural awareness and independence. I have more of an appreciation for my home country and for people with diverse perspectives as a result of my time abroad."
Jessica M Boston College
"It was unforgettable! I have made a whole bunch of new friends internationally as well as strengthened my love and passion for Chinese Language and Culture! Highly recommended! "
Lukas K University of Exeter
"I just loved studying abroad. I got to see new cultures and diversity with the world yet still feel a connection with people I met being a normal person like me with religion, political views, social life, and etc. "
Jordan R University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa
"My study abroad experience was 100% worthwhile. Not only did I manage to make my first steps towards picking up a new language, but I met some amazing friends from all over the world."
Jason W University of Exeter
"Yes, yes, and yes. The Maori worldview is beautiful, and we should all take a lesson from them. The biculturalism inherent to their history was new to me, and it's nice to see a country that is trying hard to embrace it's indigenous roots and heritage. As far as how it's impacted me, I'd say that I better understand foreign p..."
Michael S The University of Texas at Austin
"Of course it was worthwhile. I gave it a 3/5 because it is something I will never forget. It has not changed my cultural awareness in the slightest or changed my academic interests/future plans. I came, I saw, I came back."
James C Illinois State University
