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.

"My study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. It gave me world experience, enhanced my foreign language ability, as well as gave me confidence in unfamiliar experiences.

Philip J Trinity University
"It was very worthwhile, I learned a lot more there than I do here. However, I did fail two out of the four classes I took due to the single exam at the end that counted for my entire grade in the class. There is no re-do or way to fix it if you are foreign exchange, since makeup and re-do exams are held in August. The experience..."
Terez D Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"My abroad experience has changed my outlook on my future vocational ambitions. I would now like to work in England and will be applying for jobs there come this December. I feel as if I am now more open to world cultures and have more respect for different parts of the world where I otherwise wouldnt have interest. I now have a ..."
Jacob B Hamline University
"My experience was worthwhile because I discovered what I am capable of doing on my own. I came back and felt much more adult having had done something on my own without the financial support or help of my parents. I now know feel that I could plan a trip most anywhere and not be overwhelmed with travel anxieties. I am comfortabl..."
Dylan A Hamline University
"I LOVED THE TIME I SPENT IN GERMANY. I MET SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS THERE AND LEARNED WAY MORE THAN I COULD IN ANY CLASSROOM. BECAUSE I STUDIED ABROAD, I WANT TO DO SOMETHING AGAIN THAT IS SIMILAR."
ANGELICA K Hamline University
"I am incredibly grateful that I have had this opportunity to study in the heart of Europe. I have seen sights, met people, and learned about so many cultures and ways of life and I never could have imagined being able to do all of this on a student's budget. Studying in The Netherlands has opened my mind to new possibilities and..."

"It was a great experience overall. I can not imagine not doing this if I had it all to do over again. The people are extremely nice and the classes were great. Being so close to london it was just a 40 minute train ride and you were there. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!!"
Ian R Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"My experience was absolutely worthwhile. I wish I could do it again! I now know that there are places in the world that are care-free and happy, and that's where I want to be."
Emily M SUNY - Binghamton
"Study abroad was definitely worthwhile experience for me. The whole experience I went through not only with the school but also with diversity of international people really brought me change in life and future plans. Be honest, I learned a lot more from traveling and going through new cultural events and people than taking art ..."

Marissa T University of Hawaii - Manoa
"My study abroad experience was amazing, I learnt so much from my classes and my classmates."
Salma M Wellesley College
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile! Living in a culture different from one I'm used to takes patience and an open mind because there is a difference in priorities, attitudes, way of life, values and customs. There is a lot to see, learn and appreciate."
Ka Yu C State U
"More than anything, my time in England allowed me to break out of my comfort zone and experience something new. I have never tried so many new things as I did while abroad. Whether it was learning how to tell how a "true" Sussex blue cheese should taste, participating in a real English pub quiz, or taking the train to a new city..."
Hannah M University of Colorado - Boulder
"I learned so much, I got a chance to interact not only with local students but also with students from all around the world! I saw things in different perspectives and learn how to see things from other people's eyes. I learn that there are so many people out there that thing similar to me just in different languages and differe..."
Daniel C Indiana University of Pennsylvania
"Completely. So far it has been the highlight of my college experience. I became completely ingrained in another culture, met the most amazing life-long friends, and became inspirited to continue to step out of my zone of comfort. "
Sarah A Wellesley College
"The experience was definitely worthwhile, but it was something that I did not fully appreciate until I was back in the United States, and I wish that I had done more with my time abroad. "
Jason I Trinity University
"I would do it all over again in a heartbeat."
Kerry T SUNY - Binghamton
"I felt like the educational program was inferior to my own university. I was concerned about graduating on time, which is why I chose an English university over a German university, although I did know some German. I would not have done this again. Some courses didn't transfer over anyway! And really, London is the most expensiv..."
Charley Carthage College
"Though I live in Korea, it was fascinating to meet college students. It was a chance to observe their perspective on society, life, and culture. They were understanding and accepting, and I felt welcomed. "
Lorraine S Wellesley College
"I fell in love with Edinburgh. It is an old and gray and strange city, but I never found it to be depressing, even in the extended winter darkness. It was steeped in history in a way that I found endlessly fascinating. This is a love I'll take with me for the rest of my life. After studying abroad in the UK for one semester, I'm..."
Elizabeth A Barnard College
"I loved it. It changed me for sure. I am more mature now, more self confident. I now know that I can go to another country without being fluent in the language, and travel/make friends. It also gives you a better perspective on the world. I think these are common reactions to going abroad, but they are true."
