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 should have gone a French university where English was not an option. If one desires to learn French, perhaps an international business school is not the best location. In addition, when I go to school, that is what I want to do. BEM doesn't give the impression that academics are of the top most importance. What one should get..."
Matthew D Western Washington University
"It may sound cliched, but I know I've grown so much as a student and person from my study abroad experience. I now know I have the self-discipline, independence, and open mind that are necessary for new academic and personal experiences. I also met so many incredible people who are not only intelligent, but also friendly and fun..."
Aimee M Barnard College
"Yes, I learned to be more patient and understanding of others and where they are coming from. You never know someone's story until you talk to them. Everyone is the same in some ways and cultures are beautiful things that should be protected and embraced. "
Danielle M Towson University
"I will go back to Sevilla to visit my host family. They were one of the sweetes people I have ever met. I realized the difference of race preceptions that Americans have verses Europeans which will help me write my thesis this coming senior year."
Daysy A Barnard College
"I greatly enjoyed my study abroad experience. Like everything, it is what you make of it. So, dispite any problems with the administration, the educational system, etc. it was all part of the experience and I was just happy to be living in Rome! I definitely learned how to be more independent, and I learned more about myself ..."
Angela D University of Massachusetts Amherst
"This experience will be with me for the rest of my life, and I am thankful for it."
Emily R Valparaiso University
"It was interesting to be in the racial minority for the first time in my life, as well as go to places where I didn't speak the native language. "
Rose Z Olin College
"Yes, I really enjoyed my experience. I became a lot more independent and gained a whole new understanding of cultural differences and international experiences. It opened up the world for me a little bit and brought it closer to me and makes it seem more practical to plan to interact with it in the future. It also gave me a new ..."

"It was amazing!"
Sara C University of California - San Diego
"Australia and the program itself were both very costly but I felt the experience was well-worth the funds, just something I had not prepared for."
Erika J University of New Hampshire
"My experience was worthwhile, gaining understanding of cultural priorities in other countries while still getting the classes that would keep me on schedule with my major. If I could do it again, I would choose a program with either host families or a larger emphasis on language."
Emily G University of Massachusetts Amherst
"Studying abroad is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It is important to be globally aware especially as globalization increases. You learn a lot about yourself and others while abroad. "
Lena E New Mexico State University
"I think I have become more independent since this expirience and know that everything will work out, just maybe not how you were planning."
Erin R Illinois State University
"Short answer: Yes! Long answer: ...but there's too much to write! Instead, I'll point you to a blog post I wrote that highlights my cultural, academic, and personal insights at Polytechnique: http://blogs.olin.edu/studentblog/2011/04/france-engineering.html Feel free to contact me (you can find my email address is her..."
Steven Z Olin College
"If I could go back and change my study abroad I would not have gone to england, I probably would have visited some other mainland european country as it would provide an easier access to other countries in addition to providing the language barrier which I probably would have actually enjoyed. Now that I have studied at hull, I ..."
Stephen F Western Washington University
"There are a lot of changes I've made to my academic interests and life goals. My life before I would say was perhaps materialistic and this experience has opened my eyes to the more important aspects of life. "
Kimberly S Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"So many life lessons were learned and some many life long friends from all around the world. I will never forget my semester in Australia!"
Erin R Illinois State University
"Definitely. It gave me more confidence. More interest and comfort with travelling. "
Jennifer D Edinburgh Napier University
"Yes!"
Jason C University of California - San Diego
"Overall, I wanted to learn something about myself, but afterward, I learned that I already do. I know who I am, but I don't know what to do with me... I think my experience helped me realize that I need to find a goal that is less broad and try to work towards."
RLeanne M University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Absolutely. Before the program, I knew almost nothing about Chinese culture and customs. Now, I'm considering moving to China after I graduate."
Luyang L Barnard College
