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 was forced to open up far more when living somewhere totally on my own. "
Sean H Illinois State University
"I know that it is cliched to say it, but I honestly felt that I gained more confidence by going abroad. I was definitely outside of my comfort zone and grew from it - I ended up traveling to Peru later (and I don't speak any Spanish). Staying in Dublin has definitely made me want to travel more. "
Kara A Ithaca College
"Honestly it was the time of my life.. met amazing people and saw things I may never be able to see again. "
Shan P Illinois State University
"i honestly cannot describe it. it was simply amazing"
Gina M Illinois State University
"I gained further independence and self-confidence through my time abroad, as well as more appreciation for the simple things in life, like food and friendship. I also came to care more about world events, since I now know people in more places. I became more myself through this experience."
Lauren V Hope College
"This has changed my perspective on interntaional behaviour, art, and culture across the board. I don't regret any of my choices. I feel as though I have lived a very charmed life here. Not without difficulty, not without fun."
Jessica K Trinity College - Dublin
"My study abroad experience was totally worthwhile and has changed my plans for after graduation and the future. Before studying abroad, my plans for the future were blurry and undefined, but I now have much more solid plans that were directly influenced by studying abroad. It has certainly given me a much better idea of where I ..."
Cathryn S Western Washington University
"My primary goal in traveling to Japan for a semester was to test my own ability to immerse myself in a completely different culture and language. Overall, I succeeded in doing so. I learned a great deal and really, truly enjoyed my five months in Japan. My experiences contributed greatly to my study of Asian History and Politica..."
Fernando G SUNY Purchase
"Academically, I think I learned a lot because it was so independent and a lot of the readings were everyday-relevant. Many opportunities opened up for me while I studied at LSE that I don't think would have been available had I not studied abroad. Socially, it was a great opportunity to travel to countries like Italy, Switzer..."
Melissa C Wellesley College
"Absolutely. I feel like I have a new perspective on my culture and my art."
Adam S Illinois State University
"Kunming is a city that is changing quickly and may soon become as overdeveloped as many other Chinese cities, I suggest you enjoy its relatively peaceful atmosphere, blue skies, and fresh air while you can. I myself hope to spend more time there as a postgrad student looking for teaching or other work. The program certainly deep..."
Greg G University of Puget Sound
"It was worth while, but i just wish the education part would have been more helpful."
Kelly N Illinois State University
"yes it was awesome"
John H Illinois State University
"I did not know what to expect when going to study in the UK, but it was the best experience I have ever had. I gained a new appreciation and interest for international business, as well as the culture. I know that this program has positively changed my outlook and perspective on business."
Allison B Illinois State University
"I feel that this experience would have been better taken at an earlier year--such as freshmen year. I feel that I've already absorbed so much of the world that I wasn't able to appreciate Ireland as much as my class mates that joined me. I felt more of my interest was in the pagans era of Ireland. I spent most of the trip readin..."
Kujas U Milwaukee institute of Art and Design
"YES! I learned so much about myself and gained a huge sense of Independence If I can live abroad on my own I think I'll be okay here. I want to see so much more of Europe. Don't be surprised if you get a huge travel bug and don't want to come home... Home won't ever be the same again. "
Tricia B Illinois State University
"Of course, I would encourage anyone who likes to travel and doesn't mind being away from home to study abroad. It was by far the best experience of my life. I would do it all over again in a heart bear. "
Caroline M Pennsylvania State University - Altoona
"YES! Im more independent and confident."
Nicole K Illinois State University

"I came back a different person with a better sense of the larger world culture as well as independence. "
Erin L Illinois State University
"During the program I was able to visit locations that influenced my career path. In visiting different professional settings and listening to lectures on how Evidence Based Practice should be applied, I now have something to bring back to my campus. I can be a leader in the classroom and the professional world and emphasize th..."
Monica P Texas Christian University

Matthias L Bethany Lutheran College
"I have grown as an individual and expanded my horizons while experiencing different cultures and meeting lifelong friends. "
Kelsey J Illinois State University
"Yes, my program was definitely worthwhile. I gained experience in a very different academic milieu, one that I enjoyed greatly. I plan to go back to the UK to pursue further education, because I have benefited from the more open environment that prevails in its institutions. Discussions were, in my opinion, of more value because..."
Mannat J Wellesley College
"This experiences allowed me the time I needed to relax and to think about the life that I am presently leading. Having time to think about who I am, who I want to be, meet great people, have fun and experience another part of the world was a great lesson on life. Being exposed to many different views has widened my horizons and ..."
