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
"Hands down worth it! I learned so much about myself, became more independent and confident in myself, and you really learn to be flexible. With traveling around the country I came across a few instances where I just needed to roll with the punches and everything worked out. I met some of the most amazing people while I was there..."
Katherine S University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Most definitely. I gained a lot of independence. I gained a greater knowledge of a culture other than my own. I gained practical skills in cooking and wine tasting. I gained cultural enrichment from the city of Florence. I definitely plan to go back for an extended period of time. "
Kaylee W Truman State University
"Yes, it was extremely worthwhile. I learned how to be completely independent - paying rent, cooking for myself, paying for utilities, balancing schoolwork and travel, without anyone checking in on me or telling me what to do. We planned our own trips and I found a strength inside me while summiting Mt. Doom or hiking on the acti..."
Phoebe C Middlebury College
"I've always thought of my self as well-cultured, but it wasn't until i studied abroad that i truly understood what it meant to broaden my horizons. I became very close with my host family. I do plan on visiting Granada many times in the future."
Christian A Illinois State University
"Yes,I became more personable and better at doing things on my own. "
Michael C University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"This an eye opening experience for me, it showed me how other cultures live life and how it is so different from America. I really want to travel more and possibly revisit some of the places I was able to go to. This was an experience of a life time and I do not regret any of it."
Patrick D Illinois State University
"YES. I learned to understand native speakers of Spanish better as well as gained confidence in my ability to hold a conversation in another language!"
Hannah A University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I strongly recommend study abroad! I was worried I would be homesick (I get homesick VERY easily) but I experienced a lot less homesickness than I anticipated. Don't be scared to study abroad."
Laura S The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about myself from this trip and had much more of an awareness and appreciation for my culture. It was a great experience and I will definitely miss the food and the friends I made. It would be nice to travel back to Germany again someday. As for the academic experience it was lackluster and though I don't know if..."
Annie K University of Wisconsin - Stout
"Yes. I learned so much about myself and my culture which was awesome. Also, I always find myself thinking, "In Norway..." and comparing it to the US which shows that it really affected how I view things. "

"Absolutely. The balance between academics, culture understandings, and having a good time at the IES Beijing Center make it the ideal place for Sinophiles from all over the world. "
Zachary L Trinity University
"The most important insight I discovered from my program was my realization that I can live in a city, and they are not nearly as overwhelming to me. Living there gave me confidence in the abilities that I already have."
Lauren D Middlebury College
"I'm divided on whether it was worthwhile. I probably would choose to either just stay at Wellesley or take the semester off to intern somewhere in the states or back home in Asia if I could do it again. "
Calin B Wellesley College
"Yes."
Chelsea S University of Hartford
"Oh yes, the Chinese portion of my travel was by far the greatest. I gained so much in the way of experience that I can build my own opinons with the solid foundation of living and learning in Dalian with INTO. "

A student
"Clearly, from my ratings and comments above, this experience was one that I wouldn't change for a lifetime. I am going to visit again in March, and have been seriously considering Grad School there when I graduate. No matter where you go, when you are abroad and you go with an open mind, your previous knowledge of cultural aware..."
Danielle M Montclair State University
"I feel like I have become a more independent, capable adult. I truly feel like I broke out of my comfort zone and made the best of my experience. It opened my eyes to a more worldly and well-rounded view. It made me want to travel more and experience even more of the world. I am considering going to graduate school or intern..."
Cailin S Towson University
"I really would love to go back to China. I learned so much about China, myself, and about how people feel and are from different parts of America. I plan on going back to China this summer and for the next year if I can swing it. Definitely recommend it!"
