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.

"how to integrate among different cultures"
Graziella D Tel Aviv University
"I got to meet some very interesting people, and see some things that I otherwise would not have been able to."
dbressler Bentley University
"The experience I gained from SNU was absolutely worthwhile and unforgettable. How hard local students work in school and in social life gave me so much motivation and new lessons. I plan to keep in touch with the local and international friends I made on exchange and to continue this exchange life. Although it was only for a few..."
SunMin L The University of Texas at Austin
"It was an incredibly worthwhile experience. You really learn so much about yourself when you get to disconnect from what you are comfortable and used to. "
Megan C The University of Texas at Austin
"It was DEFINITELY worthwhile. I would encourage anyone to study abroad. I think most of all I gained a lot of confidence to do things by myself. I knew no one going to Italy and I made so many friends (many of them American), but I was really able to use skills to navigate around cities and go out on my own and interact with tho..."
A student Marquette University
"Definitely Worthwhile. Gained adventures of a lifetime."
A student Bentley University
"It was worthwhile and I will gain plenty of experience that will help me as I move on into a career."
Kathleen H Illinois State University
"I loved living with international students in Saint Petersburg. It's an amazing city and being around people who weren't American was just as culturally enlightening as living in a complete immersion environment. Also, we had way more freedom than students who were in the city on programs designed for American students."
A student Tufts University
"I learned to be more independent. It was completely worth it."
A student Illinois State University
"I learned to enjoy solitude. Most of the people I met in my dorm were not really concerned about anything that I was concerned about. People at the school were not very engaged in their program of study so I spent most of my time by myself. I suppose that is important. "
A student Middlebury College
"Very worthwhile and it is very important to see what it is like living in another country other than the USA."
Eric T Illinois State University
"I gained more sympathy for the immigrant experience. I learned to better deal with situations where things were out of my control. I learned more conversational Spanish and I learned how to make friends in another culture. I learned how to try new things but to still be true to myself. I learned how to be away from home for ..."
A student Brandeis University
"Independence, new friends, perspective. Definitely worthwhile and recommended"
Kelsey R Bentley University
"It was so worthwhile! I made friends that feel like family to me. It was nice living in dorms because I was really integrated into the culture, living with majority British students"
Camille K Middlebury College
"While in Ireland, travel as much as you can. Traveling is easy and relatively inexpensive, both in the country and to the continent. The Irish are incredibly friendly, helpful, and witty. You'll learn a lot about the culture and people as long as you're open minded, you'll have quite an adventure. It'll be the craic!"
Nicole L The University of Texas at Austin
"General living skills, communication skills, cultural skills. YES! "
William G Middlebury College
"The biggest thing I learned is how important home is to me. Traveling to Sydney was absolutely wonderful, and an opportunity I will tell everyone about. I loved the environment and the people I met while I was there. The people is what made the experience as fabulous as it was. I know I made lifelong friends that I'll definitely..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I grew both spiritually and personally. I developed an appreciation for traveling and experiencing new things. I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so many new cultural things I was previously unaware of. Being emerged in their culture makes your realize how different other people live based off where they live. I learned that in France socializing at dinner is very important and they seem to live a more laid back life style than we do in the US. It's trip was def..."
McKenzie l University of Northern Iowa
"Priceless experience with amazing memories, friends and self-identity."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned about myself and how to put things in perspective. It caused me to take a step back and think about what I want out of life. It was more than worthwhile Without this experience, I don't know where I would be"
A student Villanova
"I learned a lot about the local culture. I also learned a lot about traveling and organizing trips."
A student University of the Pacific
"I now want to live in england"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a great deal about myself and the person I want to be. As well as the people I want to have around me."
Daniel J Illinois State University
"I learned about what it REALLY means to live a life filled with riches. No, not money, not praise. But the "wealth" found in happiness, in examples of kindness, and human decency. So my answer is, Yes- absolutely, my experience abroad was worth while. "
