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
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned so much about religion, the Middle East, and even my own identity."
A student Boston University
"Of course Yes. I've experienced the difference in many areas and got some perspectives to see widely and academic learning was also so good."
A student
"I study Political Science so being in Israel gave me a good learning experience about politics in the Middle East. But it is not just about what you learn in the class room that counts but what you learn out of it as well. If I can offer any advice I would say go and talk to everyone you can: Arabs, Jews, the Druze, everyone and..."
Aaron Boe University of North Dakota
"Challenging courses that really helped me not only learn about the host country and the conflict that has plagued it for so long, but also provided inspiration for potential further research for my Senior Thesis and other important projects in the future. Eye-opening exposure to a side of the conflict I had never seen before, w..."
A student Covenant College
"I learned to always be flexible and open-minded"
A student Brandeis University

A student University of Guelph - Outbound
"The people I met while here made it worth my while"
Erin Fischer Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"It was worth it, I learned to master Excel, Word and PowerPoint."
Bruno I Trinity University
"I learned that I can do a lot more than I expected from myself while abroad. I gained a sense of independence after being away from my home university. It is definitely worthwhile and if I could afford a whole year, I would have taken the opportunity to do my exchange for two consecutive semesters."
Harrison Nguyen The University of Texas at Austin
"A wealth of knowledge of the Italian culture, people and history"
Brenda Garton-Sjoberg Western New England University
"I gained not just a new life perspective, but found independence in the little daily things. I learned the most not inside the classroom, but on the streets of London. I left behind my experience and life back home, living everyday in the moment and challenging myself to do something new everyday. "
A student DePauw University
"Don't set your expectations too high. I feel like I had very high expectations of how amazing London would be so then had difficulty settling in to the culture as it is different than Australia. I think it was definitely worthwhile though as I have grown a lot as a person I think."
A student University of Westminster
"The qualities I gained from this incredible experience are infinite in number. I continue to discover new great things I learned with each passing day since my return. Such an adventure is priceless. "
Connor Hood Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Definitely worthwhile. I think the best parts of the year were travel abroad and the friends I made. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about myself, especially being away from my family. I felt like my internship didn't give me many opportunities for my major, or for cultural experiences. However, everything else was wonderful."
Clarice Loras College
"It was very worthwhile. I learned that I could be independent and live away from my home and parents. I learned that I could live in a big city and navigate public transportation. I learned that I could work internationally as well."
A student Loras College
"I learned much about the art of the Renaissance, as well as other influential periods of local history. I also learned much about myself as an artist."
A student Alfred University
"I gained so many things including life long friends and memories. I learned a lot in my classes as well. Apart from school I learned a lot about my self and the kind of person I want to grow into. This experience was absolutely worthwhile. I would recommend it to anyone and I would do it again in a heart beat. "
Victoria Eberlein University of Kansas
"I gained a knowledge about how other countries operate, learned about myself. "
Michelle Miloscia Pace University
"I learned a lot about independence, and working without being pushed. I also was put into an environment where I was able to deal with issues on a macro, advanced level - in contrast to how information is typically spoon-fed at Middlebury - which I think was immensely valuable. I made good friends in another country that I pla..."
A student Middlebury College
"Opens your eyes to other cultures and norms which help you become more well-rounded and reasonable person."
A student University of Wisconsin - Green Bay
"It was very worthwhile. While abroad I was able to do things I would have never dreamed of before. I had only hoped I would have an amazing experience; I never could have imagined everything I encountered. It has made me more excited to travel and learn more about different cultures. This experience has taught me that life is an..."
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I learned about a new culture that I didn't know much about beforehand. I also got to learn about that culture while I was in it, walking the streets everyday to photograph, shopping, and dining in the restaurants. That's an unbeatable experience! "
Christopher Caldwell Santa Reparata International School of Art
"How alike and unlike everyone is"
A student Santa Reparata International School of Art
