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 how to live on my own in a foreign country. How to travel around the world almost on my own and learned all about different cultures and more about who I am. It was most definitely worthwhile, I loved my experience abroad and learned so much that I would do it again at any moment."
A student Presbyterian College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I got to travel both in the UK and in mainland Europe. I really felt like I was a part of UEA even though I was only there for a semester. The university is a lot of fun, but it was definitely a break from the academic rigor I am used to. I did not like the academic system very much, but the social ..."
A student Dickinson College
"Studying abroad at UEA was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about different cultures and experienced different types of people. I made a lot of great friends, saw some really cool sites, and completely fell in love with England. When can I move there?"
Laura D Framingham State College
"UEA was the perfect place for my art history exchange. Although the UK and Australia aren't that different linguistically or culturally, there was always something to talk about or be mocked about. As cliché as it sounds, I made some friends for life and created some amazing, fun, sometimes blurred memories that can never be rep..."
Alexandra P Curtin University
"Learned French history, customs, met a lot of very interesting people."
nancy a Illinois State University
"While I'm far from fluent, the program definitely helped to improve and give me more confidence in speaking Chinese since my experience with Chinese has been mainly in the classroom. So being in a country where the language and culture is so different made me more outgoing and confident in my own abilities. Also, making friends ..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned about culture and to adapt to new and amazing things. "
Elise S Bryant University
"I learned an appreciation of other cultures and to have more confidence abroad. Turkish people are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. It was one of the most worthwhile experiences I have ever had."
Andrew W The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to be independent and too fight for what I needed as an adult"
Marlena W Presbyterian College
"I learned that getting by every day in a new culture requires courage and perseverance, but it's not that scary once you put yourself out there."
luke.gilliam.92 Presbyterian College
"It was very worthwhile. I gained a lot of knowledge about the wine and viticulture."
Katrina S Illinois State University
"Definitely worthwhile! Improved my Spanish, met great people, and got to know Chile!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I matured, opened up, and really learned a lot about myself while abroad. Going to a completely different place and culture is shocking, scary, and unpredictable and how you respond, react and learn is an amazing experience."
A student Bentley University
"I learned so much that it's incredible. I wish I was still there. Israelis are known for their strong will, independence, pride, generosity, and graciousness. Since I was there for four months, I had the pleasure of being more than just a tourist. I coached skydiving to an Israeli, translated a web developing system from Hebr..."
Jared F Ohio University
"I gained a fundamentally new knowledge of the relationship between Israel and the United States. For those looking to challenge themselves, Israel provides many options. For those looking to party all the time, that is also an option. "
John O Tulane University
"Learnt all sorts of things about myself, how other people live, think and act. Made so many amazing friends. And saw so much of the world travelling around that will definitely make me a different person for life. Definitely, definitely worthwhile."
A student University of Sydney
"I was essentially on my own for long periods of time (ex: Easter Break) so I pretty much learned How To Be An Adult. On a lighter note, I got much better at public transportation."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned to be more independent and speak up more. It was definitely worthwhile. It was the right choice for me. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how to integrate myself into a new culture and how to be more independent. I learned to be more laid back and to let things just happen. It became obvious to me quickly that just because two nations are different doesn't make one better and one worse; there are both good and bad to every place in the world and it's i..."
A student Illinois State University
"I gained the experience of a lifetime from studying abroad. I gained so many new friends, both local and American who have had such an impact on me. It was definitely worthwhile and a trip I will never forget. "
NIcole G Illinois State University
"I learnt so much from my experience abroad. I would definitely do it again and it was very worthwhile. "
A student Griffith University
"I learned how to be independent and more culturally aware. Studying abroad gave me the opportunity to see that the world has so much more to offer than what I had been used to. "
kellie.flaherty.5 Illinois State University
"Completely worthwhile, gained a great understanding of Chinese and learned a whole new culture and way of life "
Nicholas R The University of Texas at Austin
"This trip not only taught me a lot about the UK culture but it taught me a lot about myself. "
