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
"Learning in a different educational system was valuable. I met some amazing people, and a few have become some of my best friends. Traveling was important and wonderful as well. I think dealing with my depression truly alone without the support of Wellesley and my friends was the hardest thing. However, learning from it was trul..."
A student Wellesley College
"I met many people from outside Canada--mostly Australians--but also students from Europe. More than academics, my study abroad was about new people and experiences. It's such a cliche, but very true."
kdilucido Wellesley College
"I experienced the italian lifestyle firsthand. Definitely worthwhile"
Stephen D University of Notre Dame
"It was one of the greatest decisions I've ever made. I feel a lot more worldly and independent after this trip. My knowledge of Italian culture has increased exponentially. My appreciation for Italian food has gone through the roof. My language abilities are much greater than they ever were. "
Antonio S University of Notre Dame
"Learned about the mafia through culture and field study. Definitely worthwhile "
abbey.fishie Dickinson College
"There is nothing quite like experiencing another country by integrating yourself and living there for an extended period of time. It was the most fun I have ever had!"
Haley E University of Roehampton
"So worthwhile! I learnt so much more about the Korean culture and other cultures as well. Exchange programs really bring you out of your shell and Hanyang is so great at facilitating activities and classes that get you involved with local students and other international students. I have never met a person who has left South Kor..."
Jessie-Zoe R University of the Sunshine Coast
"Absolutely!"
A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"Although the 6 weeks abroad were way too short, I've never learned so much during that short amount of time. Not only did I learn a lot about the Korean culture, I also learned a lot about myself. Studying abroad through Hanyang International Summer School was way more than I had hoped for. I loved my time abroad. Every single d..."

"I gained confidence in my academic abilities from studying at Oxford. I also made some amazing friends, one of whom is another student at Barnard whom I had not known previously."
Annie D Barnard College
"I improved my Japanese greatly and learned more about Japanese culture than I ever thought I would. I wished I had spent less time in a classroom and more time out exploring and meeting new people. In the future I would like to return to Japan and get that sort of experience."
A student Pitzer College
"I learned a lot about my self and became more independent having to live on my own. I also learned about the italian culture and how different areas can have such different ways of life."
kelsey.harms3 Gustavus Adolphus College
"Travelling and meeting new people from around the world was the best thing about this trip. You meet people that force you be the best you can be, and who are okay with you and love you when can't be."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to live on my own, to make friends with whomever I can, and to take a new or longer way home whenever possible because it means stumbling across another beautiful sight or meeting new people!"
jennifer.noyola.9 University of Notre Dame
"It was just nice to get a new experience and a break from my home university."
A student Brandeis University
"I traveled a lot which I think was the most beneficial for me. I was scared to travel on my own when I first got there but started doing my own thing and ended up doing a lot of things by myself and I feel so much more confident in myself now for being able to do that and feel like I am a new, better version of me. I think exper..."

"- lifelong friends - a fresh perspective - studio art experience - philosophy on life "
Samuel J The University of Texas at Austin
"I think I learned a lot about myself and other cultures. I made a ton of international friends and was able to travel a lot. Even though the classes could have been better and the administration sucked, the experience was amazing because of the people I met and the Danish culture I got to experience."
Grace H The University of Texas at Austin
"The experience is what you make of it. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I love Paris. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Londoners love their drink and it is very cold and dreary there. As I thought, it was a great place to travel from, but it was expensive to cross the Bering Straight. I wish I'd chosen somewhere that spoke another language for a greater adventure-- somewhere in Europe that was warmer and central to all the locations I wanted to ..."
Peyton S Baylor University
"Cultural respect, learning to live with other cultures, learning a new language, living with a large Tanzanian family was awesome. "

"This experience taught me a lot about myself. I liked it because we were on our own for the majority of the time, so we really got to experience Ireland the way we wanted to. It was an amazing time!! There was always something to do, and there were always people who wanted to do similar things. It was awesome because everyon..."
