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
"Absolutely. I made many friends that I still keep in touch with and my Japanese ability is years ahead of where it would otherwise be. It was an amazing cultural experience and something I will remember for the rest of my life. I would do this again in a heartbeat."
Trey C Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"It was worthwhile. I would go back in a heartbeat. I learned a lot about other cultures and made a lot of friends."
Kasey B Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"My experience was fantastic. I have more memories, friends and self assuredness. This experience helped put life into perspective more than any college education or years in the work force could."
Laura W Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"If I had to do it all over again, I would not study abroad for an entire year. That being said, if I had to study abroad again, I would chose the same program, because as an academic experience, it was defintely worthwhile. If you want to study abroad for reasons other than to be challenged academically, I would not recommend ..."
Nicole A Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I think studying abroad gives students an independence. Having to fend for yourself, even if you are with friends, so far from your parents is challenging and exciting! I had to buy a cell phone plan, open a bank account, all things I had not yet done for myself in the US. "
Alice D Boston College
"Everything I've already said. It was expensive, but you have to live it out to the fullest while you're there. If you hold back and stay in a routine, it wont be as memorable."
Anthony L Boston College
"Yes, it was my first time abroad, and is an experience everyone should have. You become a stronger person by traveling and you see things you could never imagine."
James W Boston College
"Living in another country was a great experience. It is important to remember that there is a whole great world outside of the US"
Sam S Boston College
"This program was definitely worthwhile! I learned a lot not only about living in another country, but also living with people from other countries. It was a hard transition because in America things are done very efficiently, while in Malta, everything is just laid back. I don't know that I would study abroad there again, but..."
Ashley L Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"It was worthwhile definitely. I grew so much as an individual. I went through quite a bit emotionally and physically that put me to the test, and I did not have the support or help on hand of people closest to me. I learned that you can never fully plan for what's to come. Life will be faced with many challenges, and the mindset..."
Lawrence M Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Gosh it I could still afford to be abroad I would be. I improved my Spanish 10X. Have now had the opportunity to experience a new culture and appreciate some of the things I have and now know some of the things I want to include. Definately have the travel bug now. Learned so much about independence by going alone."
Jennifer C Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"My favorite thing about my experience was being able to travel all over Europe fairly easily. It is expensive to be in different country, but if you budget well, you will be amazed at the places you can go and things that you can see. I really appreciated that I was able to enjoy the aspects of a different country and was able..."
Carolyn S Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"loved it. oviedo is beautiful and not many people there speak english and there are few tourists, so you will be immersed in the language/culture."
Paula W Salem State College
"It was absolutely worthwhile I learned more in those 4 months than i ever could anywhere else!"
Megan C Salem State College
"It blew my mind, was a ton of fun, taught me some cool stuff and gave me something interesting to talk about when I'm on a date. "
Liam F Tulane University
"Very worthwhile, Traveling is the best thing i have ever experienced."
Brice W Ithaca College
"SUCH a good time, i' do it again in a heartbeat, especially since i brought back an australian boyfriend! every part of it was amazing"
Rebecca H Ithaca College
"Most definitely. It's the best experience I've had in my life because of the freedom and responsibilities that came with living by myself in a strange country. I lived with strangers, cooked my own food, and navigated a confusing new social environment while making friends and exploring the beauty of a truly spectacular countr..."
Helen D Tulane University
"I love study abroad, great way to see the world affordably and during a time when responsibilities aren't tying you down. "
Megan H Nebraska Wesleyan University
"It was worthwhile overall, because I made some very close friends both British and American (and French). I figured out my identity more and what I want to do in life, and I gained a whole new dimension to my sense of aesthetics. It also helped me to be more confident when I went abroad again to France."
Tina G Barnard College
"It was worthwhile because I not only learned Spanish but learned a lot about Mexico and myself. "
Caitlin Z Valparaiso University
"It was a great experience that allowed me to know other cultures and lifestyles. In addition, I learnt a lot about the country where I studied. Indeed, thanks to my great teachers I am now able to speak fluently spanish. I am now enjoying my time in Hong Kong. "
Camille C International Students on Abroad101
"yes worhtwhile, the program was poor"
Alissa C SUNY - Binghamton
"I learned Spanish almost to the point of fluency, I gained a tremendous confidence in myself as a traveler, and I learned about my place in the world as an American."
elizabeth.ritter1 Brandeis University
"Definitely worth while. It explained parts of the culture I could never understand without having been there, and gave me more confidence than before, and was just very fun. "
Suzanne S Barnard College
