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
"It was worthwhile because I needed to Study Abroad in order to graduate, but I would rather have gone during a summer semester so that I did not waste so much of my time."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned more about myself in my time abroad than I have ever before. I learned how to adapt and become flexible in new environments, widened my networking, and learned about a culture apart from my own. It was most definitely worth while. I am more motivated than ever."
Kristen C Middle Tennessee State University
"I learned about different cultural perspectives and had the opportunity to practice speaking German. Yes."
Anastasia D The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned alot about the sort of life one can expect to have when living in Russia. I met people not only from all over the former Soviet Union but also from famously secluded places like North Korea. I feel like my study abroad was one of the most powerful and life changing experiences I've had in years."
Micah C Western Washington University
"It was totally worthwhile because I made life-long friendships and it opened my eyes to a totally different culture. Boundaries between cultures were broken."
Lindsay B Louisiana State University - Baton Rouge
"Everyone has a story. Listen, share, grow."
Annette C Louisiana State University - Baton Rouge
"It was absolutely worthwhile, it really gives you a different perspective from living in the US."
adam.gregory.16100 West Virginia University
"I learned to put myself out there. I learned not to be intimidated by other lands and cultures and to make the most of my experiences. "
ilyssa.weingarden George Washington University
"I got a greater understanding of where my grandparents grew up and I learned more about the Greek culture. It was most definitely worthwhile."
A student University of New Haven
"i gained a new perspective; yes"
Ron V The University of Texas at Austin
"The classes were interesting, and I learned much more than I ever could about the Japanese language, culture, and modern-day lifestyle. I'd say that the biggest success that I'm walking away with were all of the friendships I gained, and all the fun I had with the other international students there. We studied through painful bi..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot of geology and got to live in a foreign country. It was worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"Really try and LIVE abroad, not just study! Living in a bubble with fellow students is not fun, so take all the opportunities to immerse yourself in the local culture, especially if that is one of your intentions in studying abroad! "
Michelle M University of the Pacific
"The world is a big place with a lot of different things going on. What you need to find out is what is worthwhile and what isn't."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Gained cultural knowledge and an international understanding. Yes it was worthwhile "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worthwhile, but it requires a certain type of student and personality. You really have to be on op of your work and balance your time while abroad. There was so much freedom with the program, so that could possibly be problematic with some people. "
Taylor F The University of Texas at Austin
"If you want the kitchen clean, you have to do it yourself, and that's okay. Living with boys is *incredibly* annoying, and I do not miss them one bit now that I'm back at Wellesley. Edinburgh public libraries only let you check out 12 books at a time, and that's unfortunate, but there's 27 of them to explore, which makes up for ..."
A student Wellesley College
"It was not so much gaining from living abroad but studying at LSE from which I gained the most experience from. The class I took was very interesting albeit being at a higher difficulty than Bentley's classes on average. Gave me a great taste of what it is like studying at LSE and how their campus is like. "
A student Bentley University
"I learned that I want to return to study in Sweden after I graduate from college."
A student Wellesley College
"When I first arrived I was put through a bit of a trial... after 30 hours of traveling arriving to the dingy filthy apartment with no AC, internet, and lacked any access to contact anyone I knew.... I realized it would be harder than I thought. However through the little trials I was put through I learned a lot about my self and..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a little more insight into my personal background as a Korean-American and a look into cultural customs. It was worthwhile and a memorable experience! The only reason I wouldn't choose the same program is because of personal reasons; as a Korean-American I wish I had chosen somewhere a little more out of my comfort zone..."
A student Brandeis University
"The most valuable part of this experience abroad is the internship experience. Being able to work in Brussels, the political hub of Europe cannot be matched on any other program."
Emily S Furman University
"Was it worthwhile, yes! I met so many amazing people. Even if I don't keep contact with all of them, I still have the memories of them and how they influenced my adventures abroad."
A student University of Maine at Orono
"With LSE being such a well-known, prestigious school worldwide, there were so many people from different countries in the summer program. I was able to see the world from so many different perspectives and learn new ways of thinking. Studying abroad at LSE was definitely worthwhile; I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
Kira G Bentley University
"Everything I experienced there was amazing."
Yumi K Knox College
