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
"YES! The most worthwhile, amazing experience of my life! I gained so many things from it, I don't even know where to start. Through volunteering at a children's home I learned so much about poverty, loss, and tragedy, but also joy in the midst of troubles. Through my involvement in the local church my life was absolutely transfo..."
Christina H University of Denver
"It was a great experience, but I would have enjoyed a bigger city with more engaged professors. The fact that there were so many American students and all the other international students spoke English made it difficult to stick to speaking German. The most important thing I learned was that I love Texas, my home, my friends, an..."
Margaret R The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad facilitated many changes in outlook and awareness, but is probably not the direct cause. I feel that I took advantage of the situation to explore many areas and avoid being a tourist as much as possible. I met many interesting people, had many worthwhile conversations, and has really afforded me the opportunity t..."
Adam H The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned more during my time in Australia than I had in my first 3 years of College. Being forced to live in a new place, no matter where it is, is the essence of independence. I met the most interesting people from around the globe and I traveled wherever I wished, free from any responsibilities. I trekked the outback, surfed ..."
Benji H The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I feel that I learned a lot academically and non-academically and a lot about a different part of the world I was not too familiar with such as Europe, Asia, and Africa. While living in the heart of London it often felt that I was living in the heart of the world. When living in America I can feel t..."
Alefia J Clark University
"It was my first time spending a significant time outside of New York City (where I was raised and go to college). The year in China is what I needed because it helped me to understand myself and my birthplace. It helped me to build confidence and independence."
Yuan Y Barnard College
"My study abroad experience was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I've made friends and memories that will last me a lifetime. "
Sharon C Georgia College & State University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I would never do it again, but it definitely tought be a lot and made me learn a lot about arabic, the culture, and myself."
Megan K SUNY - Binghamton
"It was worth it."
Ryan H SUNY - Binghamton
"If I could do it all over again, I would choose the same program and take advantage of all the opportunities. I would have got more involved. But it inspired me to get more involved and stand up for myself back in the US. I also on one side wish I went to Argentina or another country for one semester. But at the same time, I kno..."
Shannon C Ithaca College
"The experience was absolutely amazing from the perspective of the classes to the students you meet "
Rahul S The University of Texas at Austin
"It was by far the best, most satisfying, most fun, absolutely incredible experience of my life. I met some of the best people I'll ever know down there, not to mention a great girl who I am striving to get back to! QRO is a great city, Tecnologico de Monterrey is a beautiful, excellent university where you will feel like home, a..."
Owen S Nebraska Wesleyan University
"A resounding "yes." Of three such programs, this was the best I ever attended. Host family and university were very friendly and helpful. Cultural and travel opportunities abound. Food is great! Located in a very historical area of Mexico. The overall experience has greatly helped my ability to communicate in Spanish and g..."

"I know it is the cliché, but I really discovered parts of myself while abroad. I always wanted to go to Sweden as a dream, and now I have done it. "
William H The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I understand a bit more about how people interact and I also became more knowledgeable of myself. It has impacted my future plans because while before it was a shadowy possibility, I now want to return to the U.K. and will be applying for jobs there. After going abroad for a year, I know that I ..."
Sarika N Wellesley College
"It was definitely worth while. I was able to overcome challenges I wasn't sure I would be able to overcome."
Leah B Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. Being able to focus my attention solely on Arabic improved my language skills a lot, and the direct exposure to North African culture helped me to see just a hint of the diversity of what we call the Arab world. Living in part of the 'Islamic world' which i've been told repeatedly is "just so diff..."
Jim I The College of William and Mary
"I met amazing people and was able to learn about and experience parts of the world I had previously only read about. Scotland is beautiful and fascinating and I would certainly do it over again."
Sarah P Tulane University
"It was a great experience and a much needed break from Wellesley! I met so many interesting people... it really made me aware of how people perceive me as an American as well. Personally, I think it made me even more mature and much more calm. Hopefully, I can keep that when I go back to Wellesley. I also studied at King's t..."
Rebecca A Wellesley College
"COMPLETELY worthwhile. The only negative aspect is how miserable Tulane is... in two ways. Tulane was miserable to work with to send me abroad and miserable to give me credits from after I studied. Besides that - go to Malta!"
Mary C Tulane University
"Languages and traveling are probably two of my favorite things in life so I absolutely had the time of my life studying abroad and am making plans to return (hopefully to live) as soon as possible. Madrid is a great city for making new friends and trying new things. During my time in Spain I explored cultural differences and the..."
Julie E Clark University
"Yes study abroad was worth while. I learned there language even thou i am not that good yet i enjoyed it. I gained many different views from Fukuoka. And not a single negative thought. They would always be positive. The only thing I can probably say is in this program you learn a lot and the Japanese teachers are really nice and..."
