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
"It, like all my experiences, just added to my learning about life and the world."
Rose P Carleton College
"I have changed exponentially after my study abroad experience. I am now much more open and tolerant and excited to try new things. Spain put my life into perspective and taught me that there is more to life than a good grade and making money. I am now taking a year off between under graduate and law school because of Spain and m..."
Alicia A SUNY - College at Brockport
"Yes it was very worthwhile, and has changed me in more ways than I could list here."
Tom N Providence College
"I learned much about myself as I learned to adapt to a different culture - I loved being there - it was definitely the best experience of my life"
Deborah H Pennsylvania State University - University Park
"Well, number one, I've learned how to appreciate food more. It has influenced how I cook my food and how I shop. I don't eat much processed food now. Number two, I see how Italians really appreciate their families so that helped me to reflect on my interaction with my family and focused on my family values. I study sign language..."
Joseph H Gallaudet University
"I learned a great deal about Ireland and Irish culture. It also was interesting to look at parts of Irish society and see how they are similar or different to the US. It gave me a new understanding on a lot of social and international issues as well. "
Kerry L Truman State University
"It changed the way I think, I won't every think about the world in the way I did before Africa. That's too worthwhile to me. "
Grant I University of California - Merced
"I could have pushed myself more academically, but especially through exploring the city by myself and interacting with locals and other students, I felt accepted in a subtly different way and learned how to really approach the mix of cultural differences and similarities - with honesty and friendliness. At first, I confess that ..."
Helen Y Harvard University
"Absolutely worthwhile. I wouldn't trade this educational and cultural experience for anything."
Jevon W SUNY - Binghamton
"It absolutely was eye opening. I have always been a very open person but this made me even more patient than before. I learned very quickly that I can do anything because I had too do everything for myself in an area where english is limited. Even better, I grew to love my own country of the USa even more. I know US history bett..."
Virginia O Millersville University of Pennsylvania
"I love my experience abroad and I was able to better my spanish speaking skills and I would reccomend it to anyone."
Stephanie P Oglethorpe University
"I learned more about aspects of Japanese daily life, gained lots of cultural and historical knowledge, and became slightly more proficient in the language. This enables me to better understand the material I read in class and will be valuable in my pursuit of a written translation career."
Elissa S The University of Texas at Austin
"Must higher appreciation for a different way of living. I cannot wait to go back someday. An incredible experience that will change every aspect of how you think and live. "

Sarah J Xavier University
"I have planned on study abroad since I applied for college, and Spain was always my first choice so this experience was something I was looking forward to for years! I just cant believe it is already over and done with. Not only did I gain culture awareness and new language skills, but I gained new friends and new opportunities ..."
Sara J SUNY - College at Brockport
"My study abroad experience was amazing. The academics were great and I enjoyed my time in the classroom, but I think had I to do it over again, I would have applied directly to Giessen for my degree program, and not done an exchange."
Christina K Kansas State University
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much more fluency in the language by being totally immersed in it, and I was able to put my education into use. Living in Buenos Aires was just like living in any big city in the United States except everyone spoke another language- it made me think, or at least consider more, of living ..."
Molly C George Mason University
"I learn about things I didn't even know existed. It was the most rewarding experience I have ever had."
Ana V The University of Texas at Austin
"My time abroad was worthwhile in the sense that it made me realize that I do not want to live in Japan, rather than finding out after signing a multi year contract with a Japanese firm. Other than that though, I was disappointed by my program and cannot recommend it to future students. "
Wes C University of the Pacific
"Yes, my experiences were worthwhile. I got to realyl study the language, have conversations, and great trips with amazing people. "

"yes"
Han Bum K Brandeis University
"The freedom and exhilaration of being where I always wanted to be, doing what I wanted to do under the beautiful Australian sun was great and well worth the wait. I'm angry that the chance to stay longer was taken away from me but the experience has made me set to go back one day. I don't feel the same freedom now that I did t..."
Micah L The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained independence and confidence in myself from doing this program. I also gained an understanding of Korean culture and East Asia in general that I did not have before. My experience abroad has greatly increased my cultural awareness and it has definitely affected my academic interests and future plans. Before going to K..."
Kelsey G Fordham University
"My abroad experienced made me realize how valuable cultural exchange is, and how necessary it is to be in the country to truly learn the language and to understand the people. There is so much to discover and experience; there are similarities and differences between countries and it is helpful to consider both to better underst..."
