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
"The experience was incredible and 100% worthwhile. In retrospect, I credit the program for further developing my independence. "
J Murphy Clark University - Worcester
"I learned how to relax and separate my social life from my academic life. By traveling on the weekends, I learned how to be more independent. It was 100% worthwhile!"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about myself and what I'm capable of. I went to this program not knowing anyone I was nervous but the friends and confidence that I gained doing it was worth being nervous. I also gained a ton of patience. This is an experience no matter how annoyed I was with all of the paperwork before going, and sometimes whi..."
Abigale Staples Eastern Illinois University
"I am still glad I went abroad because I had some invaluable life experiences and got to do a lot of travelling. I think that in concept, this program is a great opportunity for pre-medical students, but the university accommodation needs to be fundamentally changed. "
A student Wellesley College
"How to enjoy university."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that even though every city is completely different, filled of its own treasures, people are the same more or less everywhere. From each friend I made from different countries I took a small piece of their culture and added it to my own. I learned it is much better to have a diverse understanding of the world"
Kaitlyn DeTrinis SUNY - College at New Paltz
"Cultural and linguistic fluency. "
Paul D. Deering, Ph.D. University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Definitely Worthwhile! Lots of room for personal growth and exploring your interests in the field of medicine as well as learning how a hospital operates."
A student Brandeis University
"Along with some new language skills, friends, and the chance to see a new place, I gained a lot of cultural awareness for not only South Korea, but my own country as well. Going abroad helped open my eyes even more to the differences between my country and other countries, as well as myself from the rest of the people I live wit..."
Eden Morley Berea College
"I learnt what makes me happy. I learnt what gets me stimulated. Above all, it taught me how to be strong and confident, and that the strength and confidence that you gain somewhere else is not localized to the place in which it is founded but can travel with you wherever you go. "
Hannah Abdoh McGill University
"I learned alot of the language and a gained a valuable look into the different cultures and ideas from around the world."
A student Saint Leo University
"While abroad, I gained a lot more independence, from having to cook all my own meals to navigating through places I had never been to alone. I also found it valuable to practice finding community in a place where you know no one. I think my time abroad was absolutely worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about Alaskan marine life and the lifestyle that comes with living in Alaska. I gained a lot of self confidence in being more independent and not rely on my normal, comforting social spheres. I believe it was worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"I gained an appreciation for ecotourism, a love for exploration of nature and different cultures. It was worth while too as it helped me develop as an independent traveler."
A student Saint Leo University
"I gained a lot of experience living in a new country and learning how to deal with difficult situations. Yes I loved getting to study abroad "
A student Wellesley College
"I believe I mainly gained independence and a willingness to try new things through my semester abroad. "
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a lot of newfound self confidence in multiple areas of my life. One large thing I learned is if people do not make effort into spending time with you, its pointless to waste time hoping they will when you can go find people who will appreciate you."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I've always been a pretty independent person, but I feel like going abroad helped further develop my independence and confidence regarding issues like travel planning and solo travel. Furthermore, Ireland has such a wide range of natural beauty and landscape. Being able to travel around the country and see it all was a price..."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I gained exposure to European culture, however mostly anything gained was from my personal endeavors and not what the program had to offer. I will say I did enjoy the European Healthcare course though and it’s excursions. "
A student Wellesley College
"I got to experience an entirely different academic system. While it was incredibly challenging to acclimate to this new environment, I think that I managed quite successfully in the end. Not only am I proud at overcoming initial challenges, but I appreciate the small-class environment of Middlebury so much more now! I'm so excit..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to be independent and stretched myself beyond my limits an individual fears. So worthwhile !!!"
A student Middlebury College
"I gained valuable immersion time with the language that I currently teach to high school students. "
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I gained a lot more confidence in myself. It was worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"I was able to travel all over Europe and experience living in a new country/city. Although I felt that a lot could have been improved about the education aspect of my time abroad, I overall really enjoyed being in London and being abroad for a semester. "
A student Wellesley College
"Extremely worthwhile "
Chloe Tucker Wellesley College
