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
"The program challenged me to my highest potential. It was truly rewarding to know that I could get myself out of any situation in a foreign country and be as happy as I was. I had an amazing experience and it inspired me to continue my traveling ventures throughout the rest of my life."
Christine A Hobart and William Smith Colleges
"Yes, very worthwhile. Learned a lot about the language and culture"
Laura M The University of Texas at Austin
"It changed me as a person. It's hard to look back now, being so far removed from Karlsruhe and semi-integrated into Presbyterian community; but when I do think of the streets I walked, the people I met, the things I saw, I can't replace that feeling. I left unsure about life, who I was, what I cared about. Being there was like l..."
Lauren H Presbyterian College
"Yes, it was completely worthwhile. It was very difficult at times, but that only made it more worth it in the end. I wouldn't take the decision to go abroad back for anything, but to expect that everything will go smoothly and will be "the best time you've ever had" would be erroneous. The best way to prepare yourself is just to..."
Mina F Rice University
"I was really bummed out with the weather. My decision to study in Melbourne wasn't very informed. I didn't expect it to be as cold and rainy as it was, and I was expecting more of the stereotypical "Aussie life" in Melbourne. The idea of AUSTRALIA was just so intriguing and I didn't think you could go wrong. But if I could d..."
Zoe J University of California - Berkeley
"I am a completely new and better person from this experience. I am now open to so many more things and feel I have a new look on life. As before, I still plan on teaching but with a BA in Spanish from this year abroad I have the option to teach in a duel immersion course . I now plan on teaching abroad in South America. "
Louise W California State University - Long Beach
"Absolutely. If not for the confidence in travel and joy in history and tourism (and the novelty of having an accent that everyone adored), my friendships made my time incredibly more worthwhile and enriching than I ever expected and will have a longer impact on me than I could ever have anticipated."
Teresa G Trinity University
" During my time studying abroad, there were many up's and down's. During my stay there, I had experiences of a life time and met people who changed my life. While I was there, I became friends with the ERASMUS group which is the study abroad program within Europe. This program allows people from any country to go to another..."
Elizabeth Q Birmingham-Southern College
"I feel that I was greatly impacted by my experience abroad. It helped me gain greater self confidence and awareness. I now know so much more about the Hispanic world than I thought I did. I no longer confuse South American stereotypes with those of mainland Spain. I also have a greater appreciation for the diversity of the count..."
Roseanne G SUNY - Binghamton
"Absolutely! I never wanted to come home!"
Shellie P Rollins College
"yes totally"
burcu o Trinity University
"My experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned so much from living abroad. I understood what it was like to feel like a foreigner and to have trouble with the local language, so I feel like I am now more patient with foreigners in America. I learned so much about Japanese culture and have also had the experience to go to Chi..."
Lauren H Presbyterian College
"Yes, I learned so much about the English culture. Also the way that the colleges are run is completely different over there and it helped me decide whether I wanted to apply for grad school abroad. "
Nora H University of California - Los Angeles
"YES."
James H Presbyterian College
"YES! I now for more comfortable working on my own in an academic setting, an invaluable experience for senior honors and graduate school."
Alexandra P Kenyon College
"studying abroad showed me how well I can live in other countries. I can't wait to travel once I graduate"
Liza B SUNY - Binghamton
"My overall experience was absolutely incredible. I've made life-long friends, learned a significant amount about Japanese culture and business management practices, and improved on my speaking ability."
Anthony D University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Everything was indeed worthwhile because it all became a wonderful thing. Even getting lost or feeling unsure of things was nice because it was good to see a side of myself that could only be there when I was lost or unsure. I enjoyed that and for that reason I would do it again and go somewhere new next time. "
Adan G Trinity University
"My study abroad experience was very worthwhile. Was the best thing I have done in college and I intend to go back for graduate school."
Christopher Z Trinity University
"The differences in Costa Rica and the United States inspired various writings, and stimulated ideas. It gave me the belief that travelling isn't nearly as hard as I initially thought. I could do it any time to just about any place. The various activities in Costa Rica have given me the desire to explore my own town and region mo..."
Sarah R Trinity University
"Yes. Most credits at Yonsei are transferred to Trinity"
Hye-Won K Trinity University
"I had an amazing time while i was abroad. I was able to balance school work and seeing the country very well. I am now more aware of the differences of people like the native Maori people. I took every opportunity that was presented to me and my experience benefited from that."
Eric L SUNY - Binghamton
"Will definitely want to work and live in China in the future. If not permanently, for a long time. It is hard being away from home sometimes, but totally worth it! If you want to test yourself and learn about yourself, go to China!"
Brian S Trinity University
"The study abroad trip to Paris was probably the best decision I've made in my college career. It was a way to see the world and understand how other cultures handle academic challenges. I already knew before going that I wanted to move to Paris, and now that I have a general idea of the city, I have no fears of moving there."
Marguerite R The Catholic University of America
"It made me recognize that I had more Chinese values than I initially realized. "
