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 gained a lot of independence, especially from traveling alone. The experience pushed me out of my comfort zone, and it was definitely worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"My trip abroad was extremely worthwhile. I found it fascinating to live in a city so different from my own. I felt I learned a lot in the process of adjusting to a new culture and being outside of my comfort zone. "
A student Swarthmore College
"I learned how to adapt to another culture and live on my own in a country where English is not the native language or spoken by all of the citizenry. It was definitely worth it. "
A student Rollins College
"The clinical portion of this program was great. Other than that, I think there's a huge need for improvement from both sides (wellesley and jacobs) in informing students of what will be provided and what won't be. There is serious improvement needed on Jacobs' side in terms of supporting their international students that I did n..."
A student Wellesley College
"I've learned to interact more with my tutors and to manage my work better. "
A student Wellesley College
"I️ Gaines valuable life experience. Incredibly worthwhile"
Kevin Lally Ashland University
"I gained a much better understanding of the culture and history of Europe, as well as other countries' views of the U.S., which were very interesting. Definitely worthwhile to get to experience new countries that are so different from the U.S."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a great deal about countries that were not England, as I only interacted with international students all semester. That was certainly the most rewarding aspect of the semester, and I am so glad I had the chance to study abroad for that reason. Did not learn a great deal in my classes. Became much better at managing log..."

"How to integrate myself into a new culture"
Benjamin Korman Brandeis University
"The Clinical experience I gained and travels made the experience worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to live on my own in a completely new culture, which was definitely worthwhile, although I wouldn't say this is the best program for complete "cultural immersion"."
A student Middlebury College
"Was worth it for the traveling. No school will be better than Wellesley's but most will be less work. "
Maxine Hood Wellesley College
"I definitely learned a lot about how people live in different countries (e.g. food, culture, habits, healthcare systems etc.). I also got to see a lot: I especially liked seeing the art, architecture, and landscapes of different countries. I also gained a lot of experience with planning when I organized travel plans. I also got ..."
A student Wellesley College
"I got to know how it feels like to live in a cosmopolitan city (London) and how to balance life with work as a result."
A student Middlebury College
"I went outside my comfort zone, and now my comfort zone is larger. I learned how to be grateful while others complained, and things don't have to be perfect to be invaluable. It was important for me to enjoy Germany, and I was happy to soak in their cultural quirks. In the face of adversities, I gained independence and resilienc..."
A student Wellesley College
"The most valuable aspect of studying abroad in London was learning to live independently. Budgeting, cooking, and time managing are some of the skills I developed during the semester. I would say I now feel more comfortable living on my own, adjusting to an urban setting, and balancing my time --the experience was definitely wor..."
A student Wellesley College
"I would say that overall, my study abroad experience was worthwhile. Although if I had the choice to do it all over again, I would choose to go to a different university, this experience really was a once in a lifetime experience. The opportunity to be able to be in Italy - someplace I dreamed about going to since my first Itali..."
Kathleen Stone Saint Leo University
"I learned a lot about the Australian culture and it was definitely worthwhile. I made so many friends, many of whom were American from different schools, who I would not have met otherwise. "
A student Middlebury College
"I got to take classes in subjects that I had no prior experience in. I also became a lot more confident in traveling internationally by myself. Overall it was worthwhile."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"What it's like studying under the Oxford education system"
A student Wellesley College
"It was a valuable experience to study abroad and meet different people. I enjoyed the balance of academics and free time."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to study more independently without assistance and learned how to cook. "
A student Wellesley College
"By being exposed to people who don't think so similarly to me, I was challenged to question myself every day: Is there a better career path for me that I haven't considered because it's not popular in the US? Is there a better way to do higher education? Is there a more interesting thing to study for me that isn't offered in the..."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a lot of independence, figuring things out for myself without friends around. "
A student Wellesley College
"I made a huge amount of friends from all over and gained a lot of knowledge relevant to my degree which I still draw upon today"
Damon Vavros University of Wollongong
