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
"Some Italian, Italian Cuisine and Italian Culture"
A student Delaware Technical Community College
"I learned a lot about myself and what's important for me and what I like and what I don't like. The program allows you to make friends with the other exchange students, other Americans and international students, and I would say that is the best part. The friendships you make are wonderful and I think it's a great experience to ..."

Catherine B. Gardiner University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I learned that every city and every country in Europe is different and I cannot wait to explore more of them. "
A student University of Hartford
"It was most definitely worthwhile. I learned to live 100% independently. I learned that there is so much more to the world than just Oklahoma. I learned that there is so much to see! & the culture and people are absolutely amazing. I learned more about myself as to what I like and dislike. I learned that I missed so much from th..."
Cecilia Lopez Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Totally worthwhile, I learned that people make the trip not the place. All places that I traveled to were interesting beautiful and unique. The trips the I took and had the best memories were because of the people that I went with. Culture might change but its the people the you go through the experience with that make the tr..."
A student University of Hartford
"Very worth while"
Patrick Bria University of Colorado - Denver
"Amazing experience! So worthwhile!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that American Superiority exists, that Western cultures are extremely similar fundamentally, but on the surface appear very different, and patience. Mostly, I learned to expand my worldview from my college experience, and question the things that I had previously taken as truths. I have to say that my travels and my fr..."
A student Wellesley College
"My courses were enlightening because the students in my classes had personal experiences that they offered which I would not have gotten at home (in courses like Arab history, middle eastern politics). I made amazing friends - most of which were other American exchange students, however some friends were local students. The scho..."

A student Wellesley College
"There's so many different people and perspectives in the world we ought to consider"

"I gained a faith in myself and a newfound passion for my subject. I liked having more time to myself to work on my subject, as well as more time to spend with friends. This was completely worthwhile!"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to budget and plan trips well. I think that I learned a lot about social skills and putting myself out there."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to navigate public transportation like an expert while traveling, and you are able to travel to another country with a round-trip ticket for under fifty dollars...you cannot do that anywhere else in the world, and it is an amazing experience during your time at university. "
Dylan Campbell The University of Texas at Austin
"From my experience abroad, I gained a new/broader perspective on linguistics. I learned how to read with a critical eye. I also learned a lot about myself - what I like and what I don't like. My experience here has also influenced my consideration of my future career, so yes, I would say that it was worthwhile."
Phoebe Lee Wellesley College
"It was so incredibly worthwhile. You're told from the beginning that its going to change your life and you'll figure out who you are. And you think you know yourself before the trip but you really don't. I learned so much about different cultures, life in general, and most importantly, I learned a lot about myself. It hard to ex..."
