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
"My study abroad experience was SO worthwhile! I LOVED the people I met, the classes I took, the food I ate, the travel I did, the laughter and memories and happiness is something that I can always look back on. I became more independent, I learned to go out of my comfort zone in speaking Spanish more, making new friends, and pus..."

Emilie M Rider University
"not only did I get a chance to learn more about a new culture, I was able to improve my Arabic skills significantly "
neethi.vasudevan The College of New Jersey
"I learned a lot about myself and made some amazing friends. It wasn't as cushy as some study abroad programs (which I observed when visiting friends in Italy and Spain and they complained about their "tough times") but it was definitely enjoyable. I feel more confident and also more comfortable using my arabic. "
Hallie M Baylor University
"Actually, I learned a lot about myself during my time in Spain, as well as a lot about Spanish culture and language. I also learned a lot of valuable skills like navigating and trip-planning. It was an amazing experience that I often wish I could go back to. "
savannah.carlstrom University of Iowa
"I learned a lot about different cultures and I was able to visit 10 countries in the 4 months I was there. I would not trade this experience for anything. "

Mikaela D University of Miami
"The American University of Rome program was a close-knit community that enabled me to have relationships with my professors and classmates. It provided me with many opportunities.

Carlie R Pace University
"Due to the fact that I only had class 3 times a week, I had to administer a way to study, travel, and have an active social life. Thus, in its own way, I learned some valuable time management skills."
A student Baylor University
"I learned a lot about the culture of Japan, which was one of the main reasons that I had for going. But I also learned what it was like to be alone in a foreign country and take care of myself. You meet a lot of new people, and you learn from each others' experiences. "
Margaret D Baylor University
"Definitely worthwile! Learned tons about myself, how to handle people from different cultures, to get out of my comfort zone."

Dayton Y Baylor University
"I loved ACD I felt that even though the school was small it was a wonderful experience. I had the best time of my life and made some amazing friends. I learned that I loved to travel and that I love being abroad thanks to this study abroad trip. I gained great friends and a sense of happiness! I love Ireland and I love the cultu..."
Taina R Utica College
"I learned so much about myself, about the world around me and most importantly- about the greatest city on earth, London. It was worth every second and being abroad was the best time of my life."
A student Monmouth University
"More so than the language, there is quite a bit I learned about myself and living that I'm applying in my life today. There are some parts of Arab customs that I've adopted into my own."
A student The College of New Jersey
"I learned French! No, it's not useful, but it's fun. I definitely think everyone should be forced to spend time in Paris, because it teaches you to appreciate culture, sophistication, and how to behave. There's really no better business etiquette course! For someone like me, who's outgoing but not overly familiar with strangers,..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a ton of Spanish; I learned a lot about myself; I learned about relationships and cross-cultural lines of difference and sameness. "
emilygrace.bennett Auburn University
"It was a really perfect experience, just too far outside the urban area."
A student Butler University
"I learned how to speak Spanish, how to travel on my own, and gained tons of confidence. You get lost sometimes, but nothing compares to the feeling of finding your way back! It was completely worthwhile, and a great investment in my future. What I learned over there were things I don't think I would have learned staying in Ameri..."
A student Universidad de Alcalá
"Better ability to speak/understand spanish, lifelong connection with host parent and roommate, how to pack for nearly anything, how to get around in a country you barely know, I learned more about myself and how I handle unexpected things. It was a wonderful experience I wouldn't trade it for anything."
A student St Mary's University
"Studying abroad was one of the best experiences I've had. I was able to learn about and live in a culture I have always wanted to know more about. Living in a country gives you a perspective that you do not necessarily get in a classroom. There is nothing like being in the center of it all."
