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, Venezuela, The United Kingdom, and Ireland.
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
"Yes it was worth while. I think that I will understand more what I have gained once I am back in the U.S. "

"I would not consider it worthwhile. I learned about a new culture and got to see a cool city, but I would have preferred to have visited on my own time instead of while studying abroad."
A student Wellesley College

A student Brandeis University
"Travel experience, making new friends, understanding/accepting new cultures."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to handle myself in a different country. This was my first time traveling alone, and my first time leaving the U.S. so it was scary at first. It is completely manageable and everyone should study abroad if they are able."
Abbie P University of Southern Indiana
"I learned some Turkish, I gained an open mind about how the same subject can bring a different experience in different places in the world, and I learned to ease up a bit. To me, it was the perfect summer study abroad before entering senior year of University. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how to bike! And now have a lifelong skill. I've started biking since coming back to America and love having it as a hobby/activity that I can do. Also, I learned how to be more independent, especially cooking for myself and planning trips. Overall, it was extremely worthwhile! "
A student Wellesley College

A student Wellesley College
"I learned I love to travel to London."

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"What I gained/learned from my experience abroad is just how insanely different society is that America could implement a lot into their own."
Eric H Brandeis University
"Not only did I learn under a different teaching style, I also got to experience cultures different by interacting with locals. Travelling around Europe was also extremely convenient, and traveling became part of the highlights of my abroad experience as well."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that I needed to step outside of my comfort zone in order to make friends and that it isn't too scary to go out and explore by yourself. My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile because it helped me become brave and independent. "
A student Brandeis University

"I gained a cultural context to pair with my learning of the language. Yes, it was worth it. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about how I work under pressure and how I love the thrill of being under the gun and working in a pinch to learn a language or run to make a flight! Because of that I was able to fit right in in all the places I traveled to by being ready to jump into their culture and learn all about it."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so much about Korean culture, and I learned how to budget, live, and explore alone. It was amazing living in Seoul, and I would definitely recommend anyone to go. "
A student Wellesley College

A student Wellesley College
"I gained a new non-US centric way to look at the world. So much of my personal experience and media exposure has been from a US perspective. Going abroad for such a substantial amount of time (relatively) helped me to realize the variety of most people's experiences. It was incredibly worthwhile."
A student Berea College
"A new perspective of not taking things too seriously. There's always another way."
