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
"I learned a lot about different cultures from Korean culture to the EU due to other foreign exchange students. Gained a lot of knowledge and experience from this time abroad and it was definitely worthwhile. "
Joyce Shin The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much, but not much from the courses. I learned independence and confidence. I tried so many new things and went to 15+ countries over the course of 10 months so that in itself was worthwhile."
William University of Toronto
"Studying at SNU was definitely worthwhile. The classes were similar with my classes back home, but slightly easier because they were catered towards international students. In retrospect, what I gained the most was life experience and good friends. I also learned quite a lot of Korean in such a short amount of time."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Hungarian culture, android mobile development, computer graphics, user interface design"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned to be more social and independent "

A student Middlebury College
"Thanks to the internet, living abroad has become much easier than 20 years ago, on the other hand, it is less an adventure. It was definitely worthwhile. I loved being in London, exploring the city and the habits of its people!"
A student ZHAW School of Management and Law
"I'm very glad I got the chance to encounter a culture both different and similar to my own. I'd never been alone in a country where I knew no one, so you're really thrown into the deep end and forced to seek out what you want to experience. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"How to be independent. Incredibly."
A student Middlebury College
"I was introduced to a region of the world that I had little to no exposure to, and based on this experience, I will definitely be going back. While the classes weren't as rigorous as they would be in the US, there was so much to see and do outside of that."
A student Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I grew a lot as an individual and became much more independent. "

A student Middlebury College
"I gained traveling confidence, exposure to different cultures, and new language skills! "
Arielle Wons Wellesley College
"I learned how to be independent and how to deal with being uncomfortable when faced with issues relating to language or cultural barriers. I learned that it's okay to ask for help and lean on others when things are hard or scary. I gained a once in a lifetime experience and many many new friends."
A student Brandeis University
"New American friends, sense of independence, the experience of having large classes and being "on my own.""
A student Middlebury College
"How to truly be independent and to ask for help when it’s necessary because people are eager to assist you. "
Sofia Tesfu University of Hartford
"I learned about how to fend for myself more and how to navigate a foreign country on my own. "
A student Wellesley College
"I got taste of what it would be like to truely live independently, as I had self-catered housing and school housing was separate from campus in the middle of the city. I gained an international perspective through talking with many of my UK flatmates that was unique from how many things are viewed in the US. I got to travel furt..."
