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 learned how a different school system worked and what that side of the world was all about. "
Amy M University of Texas - San Antonio
"it is not that I hated LSE, I just did not feel that I was prepared for it. It did push me and I learned a lot, but had to on the fly in order to keep up. London was amazing and I would love to live there again someday. "
Alix B Tulane University
"I love it. It's help me become more patient and accepting towards others. As well, I don't care as much about the little things, I'm happy and content with who I am and what I have to offer to myself and others."
Maya B University of Kentucky
"Overall, I definitely did learn a lot culturally & academically from this experience. It's a much smaller world than I realized, and the impact that American society has on other countries was definitely an eye opener for me (they really want to "be" us--from our clothing brands, to our fast food.) I also got a really good loo..."
Sarah S University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"I got everything I wanted out of my experience: improved Spanish fluency in a fun and relaxing environment that let me go to the beach every weekend. "
Steven M Trinity University
"Studying abroad at LSE and living in London was by far the most life-learning experience I have had thus far. Professionally, my involvement at one of the leading universities on earth, within one of the financial capitals of the world, and having interned at a leading investment bank have certainly molded my aspiration to be a ..."
Daniel R Trinity University
"The courses were great and London was better than any city I've ever been, too. There is always something to do there. I love music and soccer, so it suited me."
Steven L The College of William and Mary
"i not only grew as a person, i also vastly improved my japanese language skills. i feel that if i can overcome challenges while dealing with people who don't speak my language, i can definitely get past challenges here in my home country."
Anna B University of Hawaii - Manoa
"My experience in Barcelona was absolutely worthwhile I would highly recommend that everyone study abroad at some point in their lives. Getting to know a different culture leads to greater global awareness!"
Anonymous f University of California - Berkeley
"I loved studying abroad in Florence. I gained a lot of confidence when I was in Italy because I constantly had to put myself out there in order to learn or interact with other people. I was able to meet many local Italians and I definitely benefited from experiencing the Italian mentality toward life. Italians, at least to me, c..."
Michelle G Maryland Institute College of Art
"Greatly improved my cultural awareness. Made me more self-sufficient and adaptable."
Amy C University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Definitely worthwhile. I had a chance to also do a research internship with the psychology department and worked on two projects with Ph.D. students. I learned about the education system in Australia and also decided to pursue research my senior year in college."
Taryn T Mount Holyoke College
"I had possibly the best year of my life. I made some life-long friends, got to understand a new culture, and was exposed to so many different people from all over the world. Also, living on your own in a big city forces you to be more independent and mature much faster. It was so difficult to force myself on a plane to come back..."
Doris L Tufts University
"Yes. I have a whole new outlook on the world, and I think engineers don't normally think about going abroad but it should be a necessary requirement just to expand their horizons and outlooks."
Kenneth B Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville
"It would have been more worthwile had I been able to stay longer. That said, the program's intense language instruction was valuable and I enjoyed the tours arranged. Housing should be located on campus!!"
Tuan P University of Massachusetts - Boston
"It was worthwhile. I think it was one of the best things I have done for myself. I gained information about myself I didnt know I had and I know now I can do things on my own. "
A student None
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about Japanese culture, and my Japanese got so much better. I would like to go back to Japan for travel/work/volunteer someday. "
Min Kyoung K Wellesley College
"Yes, it was very worthwhile. I not only passed the first level of Japanese Language Proficiency Test, but also met amazing friends and my lovely host family. I have learned a lot about Japan, and if my future allows, I want to definitely go back to Japan to travel/volunteer/work. "
Min Kyoung K Wellesley College
"It was the best part of my entire college experience so far! It was ABSOLUTELY worth it."
Sarah R Clark University
"I loved my study abroad experience, and have made some of my best friends in the whole world doing it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
Danielle R George Washington University
"I really enjoyed studying in St Andrews; I learned a lot in my classes that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to study at Wellesley, but I found it pretty isolated from the rest of Scotland."
Anna P Wellesley College
"In terms of learning German, probably not. This was particularly difficult, despite my best efforts. I did gain a much better understanding of Austrian politics, culture, and history through my study abroad experience. Most of this is the result of my own interest (I read the paper every day, discussed politics with Austrian..."
Megan H Wellesley College
"It was amazing. I made great friends, and was in an awesome country. I felt safe the whole time. The classes were interesting and very relevant. The staff was friendly. The organized trips were a ton of fun. The social scene was better than any other I've ever experienced."
Leor R University of Massachusetts Amherst
"It was worthwhile, but had definite drawbacks in terms of the culture in Austria (very xenophobic and unfriendly). It was also not as much of a help to my German language skills as I had hoped because the German spoken in Austria is very different from the German spoken in Germany and taught in America. "
Katherine V Wellesley College
"My perspective was broadened. I met people from a variety of backgrounds. I partied a lot. I traveled to 13 countries. I rode my bike every single day, sometimes for 8 hours at a time. I went to Christiana, where there are no laws. I saw how other cultures live. I realized what other cultures value. I learned to apprecia..."
