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
"It was by far the best thing I could have done for myself. I'm significantly more independent and able to travel alone competently. It made me more aware of how the rest of the world views America, despite how welcoming the Welsh are. I would definitely consider living abroad sometime in the future. "
Sara G Drake University
"I'm going to include a poem for this, "The Men Who Don't Fit In," by Robert Service: There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain's crest; Thei..."
Christopher S The University of Texas at Austin
"I've come to realize how much I love the country and the culture. I am going to pursue a degree related to China and hopefully teach in the future. This semester has been rewarding on many levels for me."
Di C The University of Texas at Austin
"my study abroad expericen was worthwhile. i enjoyed classes at SNU and im glad that i became friends with local students since i might work in Korea after graduating. "
Miseung K The University of Texas at Austin
"It was more than worthwhile. It really did make me more open minded, more sure of myself and sure of what I want, more confident and more empowered. One surprising effect of learning so much about another country was that it made me more interested in my own country. Seeing a contrasting view of how another country handles thing..."
Lanna L The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abraod experience was definitely worthwhile. I tried a lot of new things in Erfurt, such as aerobics, going to museums and concerts, going to clubs and parties with my friends (I just turned 21), and socialized a lot more in Erfurt than I did with my friends at UT Austin due to the fact that it was easier to manage my t..."
Nikki K The University of Texas at Austin
"It was amazing. Not only did I love Europe but it also allowed me to feel comfortable on my own and experience what it's like to have complete freedom in a wonderful environment. "
Claire B SUNY Purchase
"My study abroad experience was, to put it simply, life changing. I found out so much about myself and grew a great deal personally. I met so many incredible people and made a few life long friends. Studying abroad in Istabul made the world seem so much smaller, and I now realize that I will be doing as much travelling as I can f..."
Max M SUNY - Binghamton
"I said no because I think I would want to go to a university that had classes that I was more interested in. As for the city, I loved Budapest and would definitely go back to the city again. I learned so much about the world and about myself, I could not have asked for a better experience. I know hope to go abroad again next ..."
Alissa K SUNY - Binghamton
"It was worthwhile because I am a more resilient and resourceful person. I had alot of time to reflect and learn about myself. Like all bad experiences you end up learning alot and growing stronger. While there were some good things, the landscape, and some friends I made, the art I pushed myself to create, on the whole it was a ..."
Eliza M Wellesley College
"Studying abroad is a must for every student. Not so much for the studying, but for traveling and meeting people and immersing yourself in a culture that is completely different. I learned so much from real life travel."
Kim C SUNY - Binghamton
"Independence, international exposure, city living."
Amanda F Wellesley College
"Very worthwhile. I have much respect and admiration for Mexico's rich culture and people after this program. "
Madeline W Wellesley College
"Yes, it was worthwhile. I am glad I went. I gained a lot of confidence and independence from it. I saw another culture and it opened my eyes more to new issues. "
Elizabeth G SUNY - Binghamton
"I must say, my abroad semester in Zurich, Switzerland was the most valuable time in college experience so far, due to all the new things I got to experience, live through, and learn from. I must say, time spent abroad is a part of school of life; more goes in to one's individual standing in life than to one's career as a student..."
ELCIN M SMFA - School of the Museum of Fine Arts
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. My classes and professors were amazing. The resources of University of Leeds are amazing. The central location of Leeds is amazing. And my traveling outside of the UK was AMAZING. My biggest hurdle was just that it turns out that I'm a small school kind of person and Leeds Un..."
Caitlyn M Barnard College
"Yes it is something I recommend to everyone. You learn things about other cultures and gain an education that can not be taught in a class room."
Lisa S SUNY - Binghamton
"It was extremely worthwhile and i would do it all over again in a heart beat."
Lauren F SUNY - Binghamton
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I was able to see how other countries operated, both in the university and in the real world when it came to hospitality. Traveling really helped to open my eyes to different kinds of people and how to handle situations when I'm on my own after school."
Marie b University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"I really learned what people thought of America in general. They tend to think Americans and ignorant of Europe (fairly true, I learned alot about Europe); however they really don't know much about America except what they see on TV or there government tells them. The HealthCare debate was taking place during my stay, and it w..."
Thomas G University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"Above all else my study abroad experience was a great lesson in living independently. Living in a house separated from the University was a refreshing break from the ever-present feeling of supervision in most college dorms. For better or worse, I did not feel like, nor was I treated like a "study abroad student." For the most p..."
Matthew F Hamilton College
"The people that you meet here will change your life. Getting to know the city will quickly help you to feel like you've accomplished something grand. Dealing with the constant hassle of the city (the traffic, the pollution, the different customs, etc.) will help you be much more patient. Overall, this experience will change y..."
Felix P SUNY Purchase
"My study abroad experience was totally worthwhile. I had actually done this exact same program back in the Fall of 2008 and loved it so much that I decided to do it again. Studying abroad enriches your life in so many ways that you would have never even dreamed of. I have such a greater appreciation for cultures and other people..."
Amy C SUNY Purchase
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I love the independence I gained by being abroad for nine months, and it made me much more confident about living entirely on my own. I also feel really lucky to have had access to so many cultural and arts activities, and for all the traveling I got to do."
Megan G Wellesley College
"I know that I don't want to study in England, and definitely will not go there for my Masters, but would like to work in London."
