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
"After studying abroad, I felt like I should have been in Mexico most of my life. I felt like I belonged to the culture more than my own. I was healthy, happy, and wouldn't have changed my experiences for anything. Hopefully I am able to go back to Guanajuato often for vacation if not for a job at some point. The one regret that ..."
Hannah P University of Central Missouri
"My time in Australia was a once in a lifetime experience. The university life was the foundation for exploring the rest of the country. I would study abroad again if I get the chance. I would recommend a study abroad to anyone."
Darlene R Longwood University
"I gained a better understanding of myself, and a greater appreciation of my needs and goals, which did not seem to match this program I loved the family I stayed with and miss them a great deal... the was the biggest highlight of my journey."
Keith B University of Northern Colorado
"Absolutely worthwhile. I improved my Spanish, got to see and understand a different culture and different way of life altogether. Studying abroad changed my outlook towards life in other countries, and if I'm able, I would like to live somewhere other than the United States, somewhere slower-paced like Guanajuato. I would pro..."
Caitlin H University of Florida
"Yes! I gained so much from this experience. I feel confident about my French skills. I have made friends from all over the U.S. and France. "
Audrey E Longwood University
"I learned to be self sufficient. I was on planes and trains and buses all the time. It taught me to be very independent while I was travelling. "
Katie S Hartwick College
"I learned a lot more about what type of a place I want to live in and what is important to me. "
Carly S Barnard College
"Yes, it was worthwhile. I love the city itself, and I feel like I got just the right amount of culture shock. People were generally polite and I learned a lot about the system of education here."
Victoria L Barnard College
"Yes...I learned a lot more about myself. I came back with a lot more appreciation for my home life as well. It has impacted my cultural awareness a lot, but has no changed my academic interests or future plans"
Meaghan W Providence College
"I gained a stronger sense of independence. I also gained the confidence to know that I can meet new people and just join a new culture. I loved the English style of "reading around the subject" because it allowed me to pick which areas of the course I was most interested in and it held me accountable for my own work. "
Tara M Providence College
"I benefitted much from being on my own, having to handle situations I have never been in before, and getting to know students who live a very different life."
Caroline H The University of Texas at Austin
"I still think about to this very day! Yes it was worthwhile!"
Christina B University of North Texas
"Going to Strasbourg was amazing and I would choose Strasbourg all over again! I loved being able to spritually grow at Eglise Baptiste de Strasbourg. I loved learning French and being able to walk to Germany! I believe the best time to study abroad in Strasbourg is the Fall semester because the Christmas decorations are the best..."
Amanda H Oral Roberts University
"This program was a better experience than I could have ever imagined. I made lifelong friends, lived in a posh, 17th century, central apartment with three other American girls. My classes were amazing, and my spare time was spent exploring the city solo or with my roommates and our friends. We also took trips out of the city on ..."
Angela W University of Arizona

Rebecca K University of the Pacific

"I could write an essay about this but I will just say that my experience was very worth while, humbling, sobering, eye-opening, enthralling, and fascinating at the same time. "
Justin C Trinity University
"It was the best experience of my life. "
Thomas F University of Connecticut
"I had never doubted myself before, but I know for a fact that Japan is the place where I want to live for the rest of my life with a career, family, kotatsu, and all the katsudon I can eat. Japan has made me a better person: cleaner, greener, and far more polite than any American I've ever met. You will be surprised when you r..."
Arcadia K Gustavus Adolphus College
"Yes. I've met people that I now consider my best friends. I've traveled all over Europe and ventured into Africa. I've pursued academic and personal dreams. Ask yourself when you will ever have an opportunity again in your life to spend the better part of a year away from your work, school, and family. Don't waste that oppo..."
Charlie B The University of Texas at Austin
"It broadened my cultural horizons while also helping me actually use a language I'd been studying for almost a decade, and eventually encouraged me to get a minor in French."
masch1 University of Maryland - Baltimore County
