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 absolutely loved studying abroad. I want to do it again! I see the world differently now, have a greater appreciation for others, am accepting of everyone, AND got way better at European geography! :)"
Allison B Western Carolina University
"Like I mentioned above, it was the best experience of my life. While my studies and food experiences were not quite what I expected, I would still do it all over again in a heartbeat. I really miss all of it. It made me look at the United States completely differently and made me appreciate all the luxuries I have at home, such ..."

"110%"
David E. G University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I plan to continue to utilize what I learned in Japan and return to the country someday soon."
Wyan V University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I learned that England is way more like American than people tend to think and it also doesn't rain nearly as much as people say it does. "
Dara V University of Worcester
"absolutely! I am no longer afraid/embarrassed to speak in Arabic to native speakers (before I would be afraid of flopping), and I feel I've become a much better traveler... as well, I am a religion major, so traveling to Israel was a lifechanging experience in that it validated my interest and sparked my passion"
Emily J Harvard University
"Absolutely I would do this program again in a second. It was such an amazing experience and I couldn't have designed a better program. Italy is like a second home to me and I feel more aware of Italy's impact on the world now as a result. I also now feel more inspired to be creative in my studies and in life. It was the perfect ..."
Rachel S Washington & Jefferson College
"I learned a lot about myself. Just because my experience wasn't good or great doesn't mean it was bad or terrible. I learned that you can't fall in love with every place and that I take a lot of things for granted in the US I don't think about. It's not just about food and water, its about culture and ways of thinking. I don'..."
Taylor M Western Carolina University
"This was an amazing experience that I would do again in a heartbeat! Everything has its highs and lows, but skype helps with homesickness and new friends make the adventures even better. I got to travel to five different countries while I was overseas, and they were all amazing. "
Kathrine J Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"This experience impacted me more than I ever thought it would. I learned so much about myself and my ability to live and travel independently. I have new appreciations for so many things, especially of culture, and especially Latin American culture. I am much more aware of issues regarding these cultures now in my day to day lif..."
Amy J University of Northern Iowa
"I had an amazing time and made some lifelong friends. I will never forget my time abroad and how it caused me to grow as a person. "
Jacqueline B Trinity University
"Overall I had a great time traveling and experiencing different cultures "
Elijah S University of California - Merced
"It has helped me to gain information about different education systems and about the local culture that I have not even thought about. I have been culturally aware of what has been going on around me, and after awhile, I became even more keen on even smaller differences between people from different regions. "
Michele T Indiana University of Pennsylvania
"Stepping completely outside of the culture you grew up in is the most amazing experience I have ever had, and I would not hesitate to do it again. "
Emma S University of California - Merced
"My academic career is somewhat hindered from the one bad semester. I expected the classes to be intuitive and engaging. Instead I found them to be boring and jammed full of information. Sometimes information overload. I have changed my next semester to only focus on the German Language. This is a language I need to grad..."
Dustin D Utrecht University

Kaitlin M Illinois State University
"I gained a much deeper understanding for how Confucianism still affects many aspects of Korean culture, and especially in professional settings like the classroom and the workplace. I learned more about the language and was able to delve further into the mind of Korea and understand their common-held beliefs more fully. Most of ..."
Matthew B New Mexico State University
" I never realized how oblivious I was to the world until I was immersed in a different culture where they are brought up being educated of world issues and cultures. Seriously so amazing and it sparked my love of travel and other cultures. Best choice I made throughout my college career. "
Lesley D University of Wisconsin - Stout
"It was worthwhile and made me want to live abroad permanently."
