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'm not sure if it's worthwhile. It is true that I got to see the world more and made a lot of friends from different parts of the world. However, the program in the host school didn't start until November. For the first two months I got only one project to do and it's not very fulfilling for me. After the program started, I fou..."

"Yes, I learned so much about myself and other cultures"
William L University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"I got to see China! I met great people and got to visit a place that I had envisioned very differently. I am continuing on my same career path, but I can't wait to return and see more."
Sara L Oregon State University
"New Zealand isn't too different culturally from America. We speak the same language, which I think made my study abroad experience much easier than it would have been going to a country where I didn't know the language. But the culture is quite a bit different - everything is much more laid back and less goal oriented, which was..."
Carly W Middlebury College
"yes it is something that will set me apart form other in the future and made me appreciate my home! "
Melanie D New Mexico State University
"This experience was phenomenal."
Brittany M Oregon State University
"YES! I gained a better understanding of where my perceptions were coming from, and how skewed many of them were. South Africa is full of different cultures, each one different and beautiful at the same time. I wish I could have stayed a year instead of a semester. I traveled around southern Africa for over a month, but did no..."
Marlee C University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"My time studying abroad was very worth-while - it was a much needed break from the academic grind and routine social life at my home institution. If I could do it again for one semester, I would choose this program; however, if I were to study abroad for a year, I would probably not pick this program."
Greg B The College of William and Mary
"Living and studying in a different cultural environment definitely increased my global awareness. Also going to school in a city was very different from Middlebury but was a worthwhile experience. "
A student
"I also spoke about this a bit, but as a shy person going abroad by myself is completely out of my comfort zone and it was about testing myself. I wanted to see how well I could handle a completely different environment then I am used to. I learned a lot about myself and that I can do whatever I want. I also was able to make some..."
Sabrina S Ithaca College
"Best experience of my life"
Ashley H University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Hopefully. It's making senior year hard, but it was a blast of a time. "
Walter F St. Mary's College of Maryland
"Through this experience, I was able to take a step back and focus on having fun and meeting new people. Instead of constantly being wrapped up in school work, I was able to meet more people and experience new things."
Julia R Pepperdine University Graziadio School of Business and Management
"Yes. It is hard to explain how fulfilling this experience is until you go out there and do it yourself. I became independent and look at things a little different now. I am definitely interested in learning about different cultures more than I was before and would love to keep traveling. "
Cristina N Ithaca College
"I got to see a lot of different cultures and know a lot of different types of people"
Brandon L University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Yes, I feel will be one of the defining moments in my life. "

"Although I was disappointed with Florence specifically, the experience itself was very rewarding. I would definitely choose to study abroad again, however, I would not choose to live in Florence. "
Angelina S University of the Pacific
"Yes"
Dylan W Middlebury College
"Yes. My experience taught me new things about myself as well as what it means to be an American."
Manuel R University of California - Riverside
"I came to learn a great deal about myself, I can be thrown into a strange and different world and make it on my own. I can develop new friends, I can learn to love new things, I can find new experiences. Through this program I learned that I am an international being, capable of understanding more than just the goals of one coun..."
Sam C University of California - Riverside
"Yes it was a worth while experience students should capitalize on. I met many amazing and interesting people from all over the world. I have developed an understanding and appreciation for a host of different cultures that is impossible to get staying in America. My travel experiences were the best weekends of my life so far. Th..."
Eric H Providence College
"I loved my time abroad and I want to go back to Asia in the near future. I learned a lot about myself, different cultures, and different forms of politics while there. I enjoy challenging myself and being independent and living abroad offers that kind of life."
Kate H University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
