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 discovered Paris and the French culture that i knew just a little bit. Luckily I was also able to travel Europe and discover other cultures."
Philippe Rhode Island School of Design
"I learned about a new culture and a lot of history"
A student Middlebury College
"The program was worthwhile. I learned a lot, but I had to do so independently. I am grateful for the experience as the educational system operates differently from Wellesley's. It was an awesome opportunity to also travel through Europe. "
A student Wellesley College
"First of all, I learnt a lot from academic perspective. I gained deep knowledge about my course (International Business and Finance) which for sure will be useful for my future studies. When it comes to social side, it is even more worthwhile than academic, cause that is a unique chance where you expose yourself to such a multi..."
Huseyn Abdullayev
"Knowledge mostly, and meeting people from a lot of different countries. Plus I wanted to spend some time in London and England in general so that was nice."
A student
"I really learned a lot about independence. In some ways, I think the American liberal arts college system limits independence as a trade-off for great support and community. After two years at Wellesley, I wanted to be in a collegial environment that allowed me to chart my own course and manage my own time with more flexibility,..."
Laura Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about my identity as Black American. "
A student Middlebury College
"I definitely became more independent. It was worthwhile because I was able to meet new friends outside of Wellesley and travel a lot. "
A student Wellesley College
"Aside from an interesting art class that I would never have taken at Wellesley, I grew in my spirituality and also fell in love, so that's potentially changed the whole trajectory of my life. Totally worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned more about myself and what I am capable of doing if I put my mind to it. It was definitely worthwhile. It had its challenges but also memories I will hold deep in my heart. "
Melissa Atlixqueno Reyes Brandeis University
"Good friends "
A student Wellesley College
"I gained many new international friends and the confidence to travel by myself and it was definitely worth it. "
A student Birmingham-Southern College
"Different approach of education. It definitely worths all compliments."
Tian Zhong Brandeis University
"I learned many different modes of political philosophy and it completely changed my way of thinking about politics. It was most definitely worthwhile."
Jordan E Moore Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"It was absolutely worth it. I had unforgettable experiences, made incredible friends, and had to learn to adapt in a way you don’t have to when you travel for a short time period. "
Colleen Maher Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"It is very worthwhile that I gained a fuller view of Korea and learned from the professors and friends"
Ziyi Guo Brandeis University
"independence, self-reliance, maturity"
A student University of Maryland - College Park
"I improved a lot academically speaking. It was really worthwhile."
Kexin Yu University of Rochester
"I learned so much about myself. I became more confident and independent. I befriended people from different cultures. I got to taste incredible food that I've never tried before. And I got to visit other Asian countries since the plane tickets were much cheaper than they would be coming from the US! It was 100000% worthwhile."
Sophie Cheng Birmingham-Southern College
"Being in the country really helped me practice and learn the language better. It was very worthwhile!"
A student Birmingham-Southern College
"I learned a lot about myself in terms of handling money when it's tight and socializing with new people. And I really treasure learning the different style of "learning" in the UK - it was a transition but I found that it really worked for me, being SO personally responsible for my own study the way you're forced to be. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself, my subject, the world both in and out of the classroom in a year I will never forget. "
A student Brandeis University
"The biggest thing I gained was a true sense of self and cultural awareness. We all grow up with stereotypes, and while you may know they're untrue, they still poison your thoughts until you have empirical evidence to refute them. Going abroad broke many of those barriers I had and showed me a wide array of people from a position..."
Edward Jenkins John Carroll University
"- gained experience navigating an unfamiliar (smaller) city, organizing my own travel plans in a foreign country (transportation, accommodation, food, activities), learned what to do when plans don't work out - extremely worthwhile experience, exciting to leave the U.S. and see the opposite side of the world"
A student Middlebury College
"Some Japanese, some cultural aspects but would definitely learn more in a different place."
