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
"I learned so much about the Italian culture as well as my independence. This experience was priceless and worth more than any amount of money to me. I wouldn't trade the world for my experience abroad. I loved every minute of it. The culture, the people, the food, and the knowledge I gained while I was there."
meredith.gettler Santa Reparata International School of Art
"I learned that there is more to the world than just the little part that I have seen. Being in a different country forced me to grow up and figure things out on my own. Also seeing different cultures makes you appreciate them much more. "
A student John Carroll University
"My writing improved."
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned about authentic english culture rather than the urbanized version of it. The classes were interesting, but the breaks in between while travelling Europe taught me about how to travel, different cultures, and also living by yourself. "

A student Brandeis University
"Living in Norwich did not feel like the radical departure I expected study abroad to be, and it did not feel adventurous, but once I accepted this fact I came to really love the coziness of the city. UEA may be made of duly concrete buildings, but I liked the hub of campus and the surrounding broad is gorgeous which more than ma..."
A student Middlebury College
"From my experience abroad, I learned how to live in a different country and culture, as well as how to learn and study in a new academic environment. I discovered what I like and dislike about academics, which has helped me narrow down what I hope to do in the future. I also made some very close friends, who I will continue to s..."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained confidence in myself and gained some of the best friends i'll have. I also gained a new perspective on life and people. My study abroad experience was very worthwhile and I am so happy that I did it and I wish I could go back!"

"I met so many wonderful people, and had the best time of my life. I wish I could go back and do it all over again. Greece is an amazing country. "
Rachel H University of North Dakota
"What I gained from studying abroad was how to make new friends and adapt to different cultures. I also learned to take responsibility for my finances as well as how to cope with being away from my family for six months. Therefore, I feel I learned a lot of positive life lessons and that the experience was definitely worth while."
A student University of Maine at Orono
"I loved learning about Italian culture and tradition, but I would have loved to remain for an entire semester and year and fully immerse myself in the city and language. The Santa Reparata staff was extremely warm and welcoming, and very helpful with all of our questions. I would absolutely return to Santa Reparata. "
rebdigiovanna University of Tennessee - Knoxville
"I learned a lot about myself and I learned how to become extremely independent and take matters into my own hands. The trip was absolutely life changing and I will never take for granted the experiences and memories that I have from it."
A student University of Northern Iowa
"This experience changed my life and how I look at the world. As my first time living in a foreign country, it taught me that the American way of living is not universally considered the best way to live. I learned that I can live off of a lot less than what I'm used to, and that it's possible to be happy without all the luxuries..."
Ashley A University of Northern Iowa
