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 cannot put into words how much studying/living abroad changed my life entirely. I am a science major, but found a new passion for world politics, Middle East culture and languages while I was abroad. I had always traveled abroad before living abroad, but there is no comparison. Living abroad provides experiences and outlook..."
Cynthia C Tulane University
"yes, and it has changed my cultural awareness greatly and has awoken an interest in history due to all of the places ive seen."
Dana L SUNY - Binghamton
"This was an amazing experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
Kathryn D University of New Mexico
"It made me aware that I was looking for something in Chile that had very little to do with its reality, more to do with my stereotype of an unknown country."
Wiley J The University of Texas at Austin
"The overall experience was fantastic. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I had a blast. My academic interests are mostly the same, I will start focusing more on German, to get a minor, but my major is still the same. My future plans have changed. I am now determined to return to Germany to live and work for a few years. After sp..."
Nicole C Rollins College
"Of course it was worthwhile, although I think it could be much more accessible financially if it were not a GEL program. While it was nice to have the travel arrangements made for us and to have a faculty leader in the airport arriving in Argentina, this could be done away with and everything be far less expensive. The $1500 m..."
Allison K Shenandoah University
"My semester in Graz was easily, without a doubt, the best experience of my life thus far. I learned so much about myself and about other cultures, and I grew up in so many good ways. My German improved tremendously, and I sincerely believe I am a different person from when I left--but in the best possible way. I made so many inc..."
Stefanie K Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Yes, it was totally worthwhile. I think I learned a lot more about myself and my parents' culture and it made me thankful to have had such great opportunities in the States. "
Suyun H The University of Texas at Austin
"Going to Spain was definitely one of the best things I did while in college. It opened my eyes to so many things and helped me to have a different perspective on life. It's interesting to grow up in one culture and then live somewhere else and really adapt to their way of life. I would do it again if I ever had the chance. After..."
Katherine J Rollins College
"I learned more about the world and how people act and behave differently because of culture."
Charles C University of Hawaii - Manoa
"This study abroad experience was worthwhile. It really changed the way I see live. I've come to be more appreciative of the life that I have in America. After studying at an international university, I have become accepting of other cultures outside of my ethnicity. It really makes me regret my global narrow-mindedness on the on..."
Brooke O University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Many familiar faces say "welcome back!" but I don't feel like I came back at the place I left last August; new people to meet, new classes to take/teach, but most importantly, I have new ideas of what I need to do now in order to achieve my goals in life. "
Amy I Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Spending more than a few months in a foreign country is always worthwhile even if you don't get your credits transferred or you lose money, etc. My above rating is that of my experience with the study abroad program at UT, which actually did little to facilitate or enrich my study abroad experience."
Jennifer L The University of Texas at Austin
"I know now that I can handle being adrift in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar culture. The program itself is not very spectacular. The University is amazing, the location is amazing. The program gets you there."
Trisha D SUNY - Binghamton
"It was the best year of my life and I wouldn't change anything! The only thing I regret is since I traveled like a tourist, I experienced Europe in a very touristic manner and not necessarily how a student who studied in a full immersion program would have."
Katherine S Wellesley College

Emily G Barnard College
"Yes, it was worthwhile. The international coordinators from both schools were incompetent in my opinion, but it was good to have a different learning experience. The library and internet systems were quite frustrating...I had to have a lot of patience!"
Meredith M The University of Texas at Austin
"Totally worthwhile! I may be returning to Australia for Grad School or living there in the future. :)"
Emily J University of Northern Colorado
"I gained so many positive things from my experience abroad. Although it was relatively short, I feel that my grasp on Japanese language and culture has improved. I was also able to meet and become friends with people who travelled to Japan from around the world! I learned a lot from the program too and feel that I can do some..."
Lauren K University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Even before this program I already had a lot of experience studying about and living in Japan. So, this experience did little to change my cultural awareness or change my academic interests. I did this because I knew I wanted to spend more time in Japan and wanted to improve my language skills not because I wanted to find out ..."
Joshua T University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Yes my experience was special and valuable to me. "
Jacob G The University of Texas at Austin
"yes. I loved traveling and meeting new people."
Jillian G SUNY - Binghamton
"My experience was worthwhile. I got to experience a totally different style of education while taking classes that I couldn't take at Wellesley. I also met some great friends and traveled around quite a bit! "
Victoria D Wellesley College
"It was worthwhile because I made it worthwhile. You have to honestly want to be engaged into a program such as this. "
Adriana B SUNY - Binghamton
"The study abroad experience did give me a better understanding for German culture and I was able to learn the language better. Academically the program was not a good experience for me. It did not add to my college transcript. I do think I will continue learning German later in life and that culturally I am more aware."
