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
"Going to South Africa was one of the best experiences of my life, I learned alot and met a lot of great people. It was definitely worth while I got all i expected plus some from this experience. I dont really think any amount of words can do it justice. It was just amazing! "
Khrystyna P St. Cloud State University
"I feel I have a better understanding of what it's like to be a foreigner. I learned new phrases and how some words mean different things. I learned to have a wider understanding of other people and their culture. "
Jordan S Longwood University
"Beyond my disappointment with the program and the homestay situation, the experience itself was invaluable. If my opportunity to live in a foreign country had to be via this program, so be it. Going abroad and adapting to a different lifestyle is life changing and would choose to do it all over again the same way if I had no o..."
Danielle M The University of Texas at Austin
"definitely worthwhile"
Anthony K University of Maryland - College Park
"General global outlook improved as did understanding of cultural interactions and "why things are the way they are." It just opens the world. Meeting people, even while travelling, is incredibly enriching and provides lots of good conversation and future travelling possibilities. Basically it all just confirmed my love for La..."
Eric V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes! I came back almost fully fluent with a new understanding of a completely separate culture from my own."
Alyssa E Rollins College
"I have gone through all the stages of culture shock. I have seen with my eyes the differences in culture and business between various countries. During my stay, China, Japan, and Korea have been in great turmoils and seeing the impact of such events taught me a lot about sensitivity to global awareness. This experience had more ..."
Kelly K University of Hawaii - Manoa
"It was worthwhile in the sense that it showed me why I love being an American."
Annette V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I'll be honest though-- since I obviously looked like a foreigner, I did often feel self-conscious and somewhat frustrated/angry by the stares (and sometimes different treatment) I received compared to my Korean (or Korean-looking) friends. But it definitely opened my eyes, and I feel like a ..."
Katrina N University of Hawaii - Manoa
"hell yes"
Kirsten E Valparaiso University
"I gained alot of life qualities from this experience. It definitely made me more self-reliant since I was living in a foreign country alone. It made me feel much more independent thus contributing to my responsibilities. It also helped shape my personality to even a greater level in that now I can now alter my personality to all..."
Lindsey N University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I found out more about my culture as well as other cultures all over the world. Korea is a very fast paced nation trying to catch up to the nearby developed asian countries like Japan and China. They instill the idea that working hard and education is essential to having a quality lifestyle. Koreans really have a love for their ..."
amy s University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I will definitely return to Rio someday and visit all of the wonderful friends I made there. I appreciate much more now the complexity of living in another place and the complicating dynamic I add as a tourist/student/resident."
Maya C University of the Pacific
"Yes because I gained a lot of information while there and had lots of travel opportunities"
William U University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I gained a different perspective in education and life, especially Maori and it is related to Hawaiian. I feel a greater appreciation of being Hawaiian and in whole, Polynesian. My academic interests now focuses more towards a Maori/indigenous perspective, keeping in mind my Hawaiian background. I plan to obtain my PhD from W..."

"Yes! I met new people from all over Europe, traveled everywhere across the country on my own, and learned that living and working and studying in a foreign country is a whole new experience when you compare it to home. I'd love to try to move abroad someday, or travel around again. I would love to do it again. "
Ann P Longwood University
"YES!"
Michaela B Pacific Lutheran University
"I think I became way more comfortable with myself. I have never been good at new situations or changes and after this experience, I have definitely grown in this area of my personality. I have such a greater appreciation and understanding for the world. I don't think anyone can really understand anything outside of their coun..."
Marissa C Illinois State University
"When I first decided that I wanted to study abroad I had many concerns and fears of being far away from home and in a completely new and foreign country. I convinced my parents into letting me go even before I fully convinced myself. I had my doubts about going to a Spanish speaking country and being in a very different country ..."
