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 absolutely worth it. I got to learn about a different culture, got to learn about a different language, and I became a lot more independant. It was a very good expierence. I feel like I am one step closer to being able to deal with life outside of college. "
Erin D SUNY - Binghamton
"I was looking for a study abroad program that had architecture classes and preferably Spanish ones, too (since I had been taking Spanish and I major in Architecture). Barcelona is known for its art and architecture history and therefore the course content and cultural events I visited were unique for my purposes. The only disadv..."

"it was worthwhile in the sense that i got to spend time in Paris. I just didn't particularly like the type of education I received."
McGraw L Wellesley College
"Yes. This is so much worthwhile experience for me to get know other people in Korea University. Almost all students in Korea University are so friendly :)"
Jimi L SUNY - Binghamton
"I am really happy I went abroad because it gave me the opportunity to have a different college experience and at the same time give me a chance to realize what I appreciate about my Wellesley college experience. "
Alexandra M Wellesley College
"Personally worthwhile (for fun and visits) academically so-so (some classes definitely worthwhile, others the point of showing up was almost just to sign the attendance sheet), German university experience certainly interesting. "
Lina H Wellesley College
"My study abroad experience was everything. It was good and bad, there were happy and sad times. It was not just study abroad, it was my life. I had an incredible time and will be friends with those I met for the rest of my life."
AmandaLee A Clark University
"My study abroad experience was wonderful! I felt like I wasn't just a tourist, like I had a place where I belonged, and people who got to know me and care about me. "
Miriam P Wellesley College
"I can't even explain how wonderful this was. Really, if you have any interest at all, and you're a good student, go for it. It's challenging, but amazing. And do two terms, if you can; just one doesn't feel like enough."
Justine d The College of William and Mary
"Extremely worthwhile. Learned how to depend upon myself and trust in my abilities. Learned how to force myself to get out there. Learned to overcome fears."
Jessica L The College of William and Mary
"Yes, my experience was very much worthwhile. Especially in the area of language acquisition, which was my main goal, I felt I gained a lot but I also gained much in terms of valuable experience and life-time friends. "
Catherine S Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and made great friends. It showed me though how much I appreciate Wellesley's academics, and even certain parts of its small community. Being at a bigger school was great, but the academics fell short. "
Skylar V Wellesley College
"Definitely studying abroad is better than spending a semester at your home institution. It's a very introspective time, you learn a lot about yourself, and appreciate different things back home. I met dozens of amazing people, each from different backgrounds offering different stories. "
Sarah M Wellesley College
"I got to travel more than I expected and I have a fabulous internship, but honestly I feel like it was a waste of time. The quality of education here is no where near what it is at Wellesley and the fact that the program goes into June is ridiculous and cuts out a fair portion of summer internship opportunities. "
Grady B Wellesley College
"I learned about what kind of city makes me happy. What factors are important to me in terms of quality of life (eg. fresh farmer's market versus good shopping nearby). The importance of public transport. I also learned what kind of student I am on a "global" level. It was interesting to have the comparison with French studen..."
Julia S Wellesley College
"I went on an archeological dig I saw many other ancient ruins I did and saw many things I could never do in america and I met many great people"
David D SUNY - Binghamton
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile, I learned so much about myself and other cultures and people. I would definitely travel, but stay some weekends in Florence because it is an amazing city! I think that my time abroad has been the most life-altering and educational experience I have had in college! "
sara t SUNY - Binghamton
"I'm happy I spent some time out of New York City/the US - I appreciate being here more now."
Megan S Barnard College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I think I have a greater confidence in myself and have learned so much (not just academically). "
Genta S Barnard College
"As a graduating senior, my abroad experience was a personal journey right before I enter into the real world. I not only feel in love the city of Tel Aviv and the land of Israel but in the process I learn a lot about myself. It was an incredible experience. "
Rebecca Y SUNY - Binghamton
"It helped me more on a personal level than in a global context"
Pascale E SUNY - Binghamton
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned more about British culture, met amazing people from all over the world, and have great memories to look back on. "
Amanda F SUNY - Binghamton
"YESS!! -Made me mature, independent, worldly -Allowed me to travel and see many unique parts of the world "
Randi H SUNY - Binghamton
"Worth every penny. I want to go back and maybe live in Australia one day"
Samantha A SUNY - Binghamton
"Florence is an incredible city. It is so unfortunate that so much of my experience was ruined by Lorenzo De Medici. I wish I could do it again and choose and different program. I strongly advise anyone and everyone to go abroad, specifically to Florence but through any program other than LDM. It is horrible."
