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, Costa Rica, Italy, and Ecuador.
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
"Living in a Spanish-speaking country has improved my Spanish massively. I would recommend all Year Abroad students to have lessons on the side of their placement, as they really improve your confidence. Living in Argentina has really helped me to immerse myself in a new culture and language. "
A student University of Manchester
"I learned a lot from my classes. I love how everyone is so friendly and nice there. "

Catheirne L Lasell College
"I learned that cultural difference is a beautiful thing rather than a problem! Live, love learn! Experiencing different cultures was the best part! I was out of my comfort zone and it was amazing !"
jess.duda.3 Monmouth University
"It was totally worthwhile!! You learn so much, things about yourself (your views, cultures, ideas of normal, becoming independent) as well things about different cultures (you live in Hong Kong so you will learn things about their culture, but you also meet other exchange students and learn about all of their different cultures..."
Jake B University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Live, Laugh, Learn!"
Cairo P New Jersey City University
"I gained a love of British chocolate, biscuits and tea. I also learned that England isn't as hyped up as the pop culture image we get of it makes it out to be, it's actually a lot more ordinary. I think it was worth it to be tied to a new place and to broaden my world perspective and to keep England in my heart now that I'm home..."
isabelle.parker.7 Bennington College
"It was a blast! I was lucky enough to have an internship there which helped me extremely! The culture and the lad back ease of life I miss as well as people just assume the best in others over there. It was great meeting friends too because everyone is in the same boat, either you mingle or you are alone. But don't be afraid to ..."
Krista V University of Wisconsin - River Falls
"I think I gained a lot of maturity while I was abroad. I really got a chance to explore myself away from the pressures of my parents and him university and really began to grow into the person I would like to become later on in my life."
Nicole D Wellesley College

"Got to know how education works in the EU. Of course - great deal of new knowledge, that I often use."
Anton V Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration \ Wirtschaftsuniversitat Wien
"I learned to appreciate other cultures and to be open to new experiences. Being abroad brought me completely outside of my comfort zone and forced me into situations that I ordinarily would not find myself in. I saw only a small portion of what the world has to offer and I gained a sense of independence and confidence that I did..."
Breanna R College of Saint Rose
"My experience abroad taught me many things, but the most important lesson was that I could survive in a city abroad on my own much better than I had anticipated. I learned that I loved German culture, and that the way they ran things was much more efficient than back home. This experience was the best experience I've had in my l..."
Zachary K University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth
"I learned so much. I learned how to branch out and how to be independent. I learned about culturally diverse perspectives and how to see the world & my country through the viewpoint of another culture. I also learned about myself in ways I can not explain and would have never imagined - I feel like I grew up and matured more in ..."
Tori F Butler University
"This experience abroad truly changed not only my Duke experience but my life. It was 100% worthwhile and I honestly wish I chose to study abroad in Istanbul for a year instead of just one semester. Everything about this program was amazing and I wish I could tell every other student to choose it."
Risa P Duke University
"I learned that you need to take risks in order to reap rewards. Meeting new people was a lot easier now. It was definitely worth while. "
alyndaher St. Cloud State University
"Yes. I improved my level of English and learnt to become more independent. "
Odile B Regent’s University London
"I really really really loved London it was such a great city filled with amazing people and things to do. I did not really like my experience at UCL, I wish I had chosen a different university. The classes were a bit too heavy/boring in my department and a lot of classes at too many American study abroad students. "
A student Wellesley College
"It was the most amazing experience I ever had. I would do it again, without any doubts. You make international friends for life, you learn so much about other cultures and it helps you develop an international perspective not only for business but also for life. It opens your mind to new things and when it is (sadly) over, you f..."
A student Regent’s University London

A student Wellesley College
"I gained a new language, new friends, and a new mindset. It was DEFINITELY worthwhile!"
Jasheah H SUNY - College at Oswego
"Attending UCL allowed me the opportunity to experience higher education in a very different context -- large school, urban setting, and different country. I learned from leading experts in my fields of interest and had the opportunity to conduct research with graduate students. I also learned about budgeting, time management, pr..."
Kily W Wellesley College
"Everything? Can I just say that? Of course it was worthwhile, I learned so much and came back a very different person. I'd rather not spend the next two hours talking about the almost infinite number of things I gained and learned from the experience, also, most of these things are indescribable, so I'll stop there."
Zachary B Baylor University
