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 a lot more Chinese and had a deep look into Chinese culture. I learned a lot about the people and Chinese society in general. It was definitely worthwhile. Everyone I was with enjoyed the program, although some had difficulty with the classes."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned independence and the importance of understanding other cultures. Extremely worthwhile!"
brooke.koonsman Clemson University
"I spend an exciting semester in Concepción and I don' t want to miss it. Awesome people became friends so fast, I experienced a new culture and were overtaken by the commitment of the professors. To sum up, I learned a lot in university as well as for my personal deployment. "
A student
"This experience was so worth while! I learned so much about the Portuguese language, culture, history, and lifestyle. I gained friends all over the world who I still keep in contact with every day, every week, or every month! I learned about my own culture, language, history, and lifestyle from a 3rd person point of view! I was ..."
A student Loras College
"This trip was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and what I can do when on my own. I also gained some amazing friends and I benefited educationally. The classes were good and interesting but I still had plenty of time to explore Scotland. "
Amanda B University of Northern Iowa
"Of course I would do it all over again"
Julieta B Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC)
"I learned about independence, confidence, and how to travel. My study abroad experience was definitely a life changing experience, personally. Academically, I'm not so sure. I struggled with the language. "
rebecca.heilman.94 Presbyterian College
"Going abroad, most of all, allowed me to explore not only the Spanish culture, but other European cultures as well. In the program there were many students from Europe, and it was interesting to be able to share different perspectives and experiences with them. By being abroad I also had the opportunity to improve my Spanish ski..."

"Cultural and corporate maturity and knowledge, long lasting and close friendships, and great adventures and experiences."
Stephen C Trinity University
"I learned that in order to you gain a full experience, you must take risks. Going on this trip was a big risk for me and I definitely think it was worthwhile. I stepped way out of my comfort zone and loved absolutely every second of it. I would give anything to go back!"
Nicole M Bentley University
"Absolutely worthwhile. Travelling for 3 months at the end of my studies was the best decision I made. Everyone should study abroad, although not necessarily through SciPo."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Overall, being abroad was a wonderful experience and allowed me to experience so many things that I would not have otherwise had the opportunity to. Scotland is a wonderful country and I really enjoyed my time there, as well as all the St. Andrews students that I met and became friends with during my time abroad. Given the choic..."
A student Middlebury College
"To be more independent and open-minded. To see how uncomplicated and easy people can be and how easy it can be to find new friends from all over the world."

"This was 100% worth my time. Learning Chinese is not something you can simply do in the confines of your University Campus, I suggest go abroad."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Overall, it was an amazing experience. Sorrento was one of the most welcoming and interesting places I've ever been to, and I will definitely be back. The school was always helpful and the administration was super nice. I never felt as though I was scared to ask for help and they made sure to reach out to us. My class and intern..."
Kendra B Tufts University
"I thoroughly enjoyed my abroad experience with IAU. Aix is a great city for students - lively yet safe, and the people are very excited to share their culture. I felt supported by the university but not coddled. There are many opportunities to travel and learn through the university, but you still have the time and freedom to ex..."

Elvis L University of North Texas
"A new perspective of the world, definitely worth it."
A student North Carolina State University
"This was my fourth time studying abroad and each time I grew as a person and learned different things about myself. While at Sant'Anna I figured out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I realized how important international education was to me and started to figure out how I can make it a career for myself in the futur..."
Kelsie S University of South Carolina - Columbia
"I gained proficiency in Portuguese and self-reliance. I've learned to live comfortably with little resources and now I have friends all over the world! "

"It was definitely worth while. It was challenging at times, I often tell people that my first day there was the worst day of my life, but that just meant that it could only get better from there... and it did! "
A student Presbyterian College
"I learned about Iceland and the culture itself and a lot more about other cultures from my European friends/housemates. I also grew as a person and learned to deal with things in life that I was not used to dealing with. Definitely worthwhile. I wish I could have stayed longer."
Nadir N University of Iceland
"I loved my experience and I gained a great connection with my host family and abroad friends! Would I chose it again? I would say "yes" because of all the good experiences that I wouldn't want to miss. However if I were to go abroad again for a second time, I would search for a program with a larger variety of art courses and mo..."
Brittany B The University of Texas at Austin
"Learning the way another world works was exciting, the experience broadened my outlook on the world, and made me want to learn more about other countries. "
