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
"I think studying abroad is really good because it allows you to learn how to gain confidence in yourself and grow and enrich your life."
Julia Warner Wellesley College
"The assessments were more intense, so I learned more about managing my time to balance out my work and "play" schedule. I think I came out of the experience a more independent person who isn't afraid of doing things other than work because it "would waste my time" - i.e. found a more balanced lifestyle than I would've allowed m..."
A student Barnard College
"I learned what it is like to be in a different culture and how different other countries are. How to be more open to learn a new language and to get to know people. "
Marianne Durkin Utica College
"I gained a huge sense of self-confidence -- I navigated living in another city for six months totally alone! Some coordinating was stressful, but I feel like I can take on anything after studying abroad in Sydney. It was so worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about myself, including just how independent I can be. It was definitely worthwhile."
A student Utica College
"I sincerely learned a lot about myself. I made some very good friends, and even a current ex-girlfriend (long story). When I look back at my time there, I realized how much I learned outside of the classroom by interacting with the culture. It wasn't one of those programs that coddles you and makes you draw about your feelings w..."
A student University of Pennsylvania
"I learnt how to be more independent and do things on my own. I also think that my level of English has improved"
A student University of Westminster
"I learned how to be a apart of a culture that is different than my own. I learned life skills and lessons that I could only learn by living in London. I think it was so much more than worthwhile. I am so happy that I chose to do this. "

"The most important thing I gained from my experience abroad was learning so much about myself and my own abilities to be independent, adventurous, and brave. I learned so much more about myself than I could have if I stayed home."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I gained a lot of confidence and perspective from this semester. I was forced to problem-solve and live on my own (relatively speaking) for three months, meaning that I had to learn to budget, travel, etc. for myself. Additionally, I interacted with a lot of international students, allowing me to have a much broader perspective ..."
A student Case Western Reserve University

"Academically the level was lower, however, with 200 international students it was still fun and worthwhile"
A student Millsaps College
"I learned that the world is so much more than just the U.S, or even Mexico. And that if you don't put yourself out there you are always going to be in your comfort zone whether that is just your group of friends, your university, your town, or even your country. There is so much more to learn and see than we imagine and we need ..."

The American College of Norway was what made this whole experience possible. ACN has given me opportunities that I would not received at any large scale university. The American College of Norway will f..."
