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 the best experience of my life. Just the people alone that i met was worth it. The things I learned in class there too was amazing. I can bring it back and use that knowledge here as well. I never thought that I would use the information they taught me there back home but it comes in so handy. The college is so up to date..."
Priscilla L University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Yes, it was amazing. I loved traveling, meeting new people, getting off Tufts campus for a semester..."
Rebecca H Tufts University
"I never had a more fabulous experience. The people I met are going to be lifetime friends. It was a true test to myself and if I could I would do it over and over again. "
Rebecca G SUNY - Binghamton
"I gained a lot more patience from this experience due to the bureaucratic mess on the AUC campus. Also, I got to see how a tiny segment of the upper class of Egypt lives and thinks."
Rebecca H SUNY - Binghamton
"I have an album with 2000+ pictures and a 50 page book describing my everyday experiences- words canNOT explain my time abroad, you just have to see it for yourself and it's a guarantee life changing journey. By seeing the other side of the world and seeing life there- there is no doubt that personal views are expanded and chang..."

"The program was very worthwhile and it gave me an opportunity to travel around Asia"
Joseph S SUNY - Binghamton
"my study abroad experience was fun and worthwhile i would do it again if i could i enjoyed the classes that i took there and the trips and experiences that came with it"
Joyce C SUNY - Binghamton
"It was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I gained so much more confidence in myself. I would have never imagined that I could coordinate several trips around Europe, but I did. I never thought I would be away from my home that long, but I was. I learned so much about myself in one year. I now know I can achieve..."
Alissa L University of South Dakota
"It changed my world view, taught me a new language, gave me friends all over the world, and inspired me to pursue international development and education as a career. Go Abroad!"
Sarah H St. Mary's College of Maryland
"My study abroad experience was certainly worthwhile, and I learned so much about Korean culture, people and education through the university. I learned even more about myself and other cultures and people through interacting and living with people from all over the world. I have a better understanding of Asian, in particular Kor..."
Sada H University of Nebraska - Kearney
"Yes. It was always easy to talk about how much I missed the US and wanted to be in the US, but no matter how ridiculous and different it was, it was pretty amazing."
Stewart L Centre College
"On my travels, I realize that despite some countries being under-developed, they showed a sense of humility and pride. But most people from the west (like other exchange students) don't have that, nor do they understand that different cultures have different ways of perceiving and living life. Please be culturally respectful ..."
Dave M University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Maybe Otaru isn't Tokyo or Kyoto. But if you really want to get to know a culture more Otaru is a great place to start. The people I met are really the ones that made this experience so great for me, and now I know I will always have a connection to a small place in Japan. "
Jenna I University of South Dakota
"My semester in Australia was the most amazing time of my life. I learned so much about the culture and most importantly, myself. I met people from all over the world, made friends I will keep forever, and saw places I never dreamed of. I would never trade the experience I had and I would recommend this to anyone in a second."
Raia P University of Hartford
"My study abroad experience was great. I had an opportunity to go back to Ghana after seven years. As a senior in college and looking back I have grown, learned about myself, and lived more in those six months than I ever had. The experience was a lot more than I expected and that only made it better. I am more outgoing and i..."

"This study abroad program was such a huge impact in my life and one that I would not change for anything. It definitely taught me to open up the world, mainly in different people, beliefs, cultures, customs etc. When you are able to travel and live in a foreign country like that, the things you pick up and learn are truly invalu..."
Zachry B New Mexico State University
"The study abroad was definitely worthwhile. Not only did my Spanish drastically improve, but I was able to gain knowledge about different cultures and people. I've learned how to open up, adapt to different environments, and to be more diverse."
Ebony S New Mexico State University
"Most wonderful experience of my life. Fair warning, dealing with PC's abroad office is painful but worth the hassle. Don't be daunted by the inefficiency of the office, the overall experience is worth the stress."
Kathleen A Providence College
"My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. I feel that if I hadn't gone abroad I would not have been half the person I am now. Like any student I've learned about other cultures through books and haven't been able to experience them firsthand. In Pietermaritzburg, I could go to class at noon, learn about rock art, a..."
Bridget H Providence College
"Yes, I learned a great deal about myself and also about what people think of Americans in general. It was great to get to talk to people from different cultures that have a different understanding and perspective of the world than I do. "
Andrew P Nebraska Wesleyan University
"My experience was definitely worthwhile, I am so happy I chose to go abroad. I got to see so much of Europe and met alot of friends who I know Im going to stay close with for a long time. "
Ben W Providence College
"Yes, my experience was absolutely worthwhile. I gained precious friendships and memories that i will never let go. I learned how to live on my own, and I learned that I can live on my own, and be independent. I gained an appreciation for other cultures, and a new view of the world. I also have a greater appreciation for my count..."
Kelsey W Samford University
"Yes, my time in Queretaro was very much worthwhile. I gained an understanding of Mexican culture and now feel as though I have a greater understanding of non-United States culture worldwide, and an idea of how to be sensitive to cultural differences. It was especially interesting to experience being a minority while I have bee..."
Erin C Nebraska Wesleyan University
"Yes, it was."
Rachel V University of Nebraska - Kearney
"It was definitely an experience that i would want to do again. It helps you gain freedom and independence. The people were great. it teaches you to keep an open mind about things. Enjoy yourself. Keep track of your money because it definitely goes by fast. but over all have a great time with lots of friends and laughs."
