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 really difficult for me to be so far away from my friends and family, so my best advice would be to throw yourself into your new experience and not dwell on the things that you are missing back home."
Katherine S New Mexico State University
"It was great and helped me feel confident that I can live far from home and survive in a foreign country. "
Elena B Barnard College
"Yes, it was well worth while. I learned so much from AUP and France. It is just one of those experiences you have to do for yourself, I could never just write it."
Erika M Hamline University
"I am very glad I was able to go to Zhuhai because it really opened my eyes to a lot of new things about the world that I think only living in China one can see. It was not always easy and the vast differences culturally were somewhat of a struggle. But overall I am so glad I went and I recommend it to anyone who has an open mind..."
Emily T Hamline University
"Very worthwhile - I feel much more confident in my ability to handle new situations, learned more about an exciting new culture, refined my language skills, and made WONDERFUL friends who I still keep in touch with two years later. It was excellent, despite some of the programs imperfections. "
Alexandra B The College of William and Mary
"I would go it again as much as I could if I had the money. I can't say enough good things about the people I met, the places I went and everything I gained. While I am poor and trying to get settled back into American life, I find I have to actively stop myself from thinking about everything that had just happened in my life. ..."

"It was one of the best experiences of my life. I became so much stronger, more confident, and independent. I met the most amazing people, and got to see the most amazing places.

"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. It is something that I believe all students should try to do if they can.

"I would say my experience was definately worthwhile. At first, I thought I had made a horrible mistake and the first week I was there, all I did was cry. But after the first week, things got a lot easier and I grew to be very confident and self-reliant. I think I gained a maturity there that I wouldn't have gained otherwise. I a..."
