Direct Enrollment/Exchange is a program provider offering 1872 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
"Aside from learning a lot at the University of Iceland, I learned about "adult life". Coming from a small college in the US, things like paying rent and cooking for yourself are kind of an afterthought when housing and meals are provided for you. Having to live on my own and cook my own food and pay rent like an adult were a rea..."
A student Middlebury College
"Worthwhile for sure; able to see and experience more of the world that would otherwise not have opportunity to in the near future. Take advantage of location and travel. "
Daisy Wellesley College
"I learned to have an appreciation for people that I never thought I would talk to. The Jacobs community consists of so many different people; I appreciated not only getting have meaningful conversations with the local students, but also other exchange students. Having various conversations with people of differing view points du..."

A student Instituto Franklin-UAH

Stephanie Wilson Virginia Union University
"I learned a lot about living in a city independently, as well as the Spanish culture and language. It was extremely worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"I definitely gained independence. I learned to live on my own and support myself. I learned how to budget, how to cook, how to do my own laundry and make new friends. It was most certainly worthwhile."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"Totally worthwhile. I met so many relatives and learned that I loved the Israeli culture. Had a great experience playing with the university basketball team."
A student Middlebury College
"I learn that Muslims, Buddhists, Protestants and Hindus are very cool people. I learn a lot about myself and the things that really make me happy. I learn to not take life to seriously, there should always be time to relax and have a good time."
Emilio Vernaza Trinity University
"Living on my own in a foreign country was an interesting challenge! Being able to visit cool places and historical sites in Scotland was definitely worth it"
A student Wellesley College
"A LOT"
A student Villanova University
"While I had previously studied the relationship between France and Spain and the Islamic World (i.e., North Africa and the Middle East), it was through this trip that I was able to witness the direct impact of these histories – whether on the physical cityscape or the national culture. I feel incredibly blessed that our group wa..."
A student Mills College
"It was a transformative experience, and one in which I got to meet the most amazing friends imaginable from all around the world. I starting to learn a new language, one that I will be able to continue using back home. It also allowed me to view my studies and future in a new light. "
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I gained a LOT from going abroad and emphatically recommend it to anyone thinking about it. I learned about who I was outside of being an academic, which was really important new information that I wouldn't have received at my home university. "
A student Wellesley College
"My experience was definitely worthwhile. I had the opportunity to travel, meet other people from vastly different backgrounds, and experience living and studying in an equally different academic culture."
A student Wellesley College
"I was able to live in Israel for four months."
A student Middlebury College

A student Wellesley College
"I learned my limits and how I interact in a new place, I learned to be my own advocate, I learned about Chilean culture and history. Yes."
Rebecca Freeman Middlebury College
"Because I had much free time outside of the architecture school, I got to work out, go to activities/events I was interested in, get to know people, and explore Ireland a lot. The course load was not too heavy, so my time at UCD feels more like a gap semester than college. I really appreciate the chance to escape the "big bubble..."
Ke Yu Middlebury College
"I got a sense of confidence and a good sense of self while I was abroad. I realized that I'm tougher than I give myself credit for, and that I know more than what I gave myself credit for. I was able to reevaluate myself and what I was studying in a different setting and more than the just the courses themselves, I was able to r..."
A student Wellesley College
"It sounds very cliche, but I definitely gained independence from this study abroad trip. Going into it I was excited but also very worried that I would feel lonely, being many miles away from my family and really anyone that I knew. I learned that it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be to make friends and put myself o..."
