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
"Learning about Italian culture"
A student Bowling Green State University / BGSU
"I learned how to create videos on a short timeline, learned about how international students study and more about a different culture. "
A student Western New England University
"I learned what it was like to be a foreigner and to have to rely on other people for help. It was an incredibly humbling experience and I learned a lot about the host culture as well as my own American culture through the experience. "
A student Covenant College
"The biggest thing I learned was how to manage my time. Because assignments are given in supervision and lectures are optional, there is a lot of time on one's hands. So it's really up to the individual to figure out when to do the assigned readings/essays. "
Courtney O Wellesley College
"I really learned that I need to advocate for myself and take care of myself."
Emily Dana Brandeis University
"I made some of the best friends I've ever had while living abroad. I fell in love with a wonderful girl and I had some of my best days in my life so far. I got to explore a truly incredible and jaw-droppingly beautiful country, and the experience of living in Dublin is one that is so amazing that I will never be able to wholly d..."
Kathleen Strahan Wellesley College
"The experience was definitely worth while. I learned plenty about Italian culture and history."
A student University of Hartford
"I learned how to manage my time in order to read a couple of books, make an outline, and write an essay within a week, and how to navigate the library systems and their individual opening hours in order to maximize my time. I also quickly learned that I needed to deliberately make time for friends and reach out to them, in order..."
Tiffani Ren Wellesley College
"I learned how to be comfortable in speaking Korean. I always had trouble getting into a full conversation when I learned back home. I knew what the person was saying, but I always felt like my response needed to be perfect and so I got into the habit of planning what I was gonna say. While in my time here in South Korea, it's he..."

A student Middlebury College

A student Brandeis University
"I have lived outside of my home country since I was 5 years old, and I have felt like a perpetual foreigner wherever I lived. London is incredibly diverse, international, and full of students, and I learned that I am most at home in this environment. "
Remi Kobayashi Wellesley College
"There is much to be gained from such a holistically developmental experience. Not only did I leave the program with a more developed language proficiency in my pocket, but I also was able to be extremely immersed in a culture unlike any other! Not only is Madrid famously known for being a gastronomic paradise, but I also made a ..."

"international experience. "
Anthony Walsh University of North Dakota
"I learned how people in the EU and more specifically people in Greece who celebrate the same culture that my family does (Greek American) live. Seeing it first hand has amazed me and allowed me to think more freely. Being at this age, it's better to live in Europe because it is more free for the younger people who live there an..."
A student University of Hartford
"I learned how to budget and travel for 15 weeks on a limited budget"
