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
"AIT is truly the best option if you want to study abroad as a computer science student. You will take classes of a similar level as your home university and get credit for them, while still getting to explore a different culture. I could not speak more highly of this experience, and encourage anyone interested to apply!"
Emma H Tufts University
"I learned how to live without assistance. I learned how to travel on my own. I learned how to use public transportation. I learned how to communicate differently with people. I learned more options. I meant some of the best people I have come to meet in my lifetime. I wish the classes would have provided me with more. Life lesso..."
A student Kansas City Art Institute
"Gained international friends. Learned how to travel on my own and adapt to a culture thats different to mine even though we speak the same language. Learned to enjoy everyday and maintain a calm and peaceful lifestyle. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about various cultures and nationalities particularly because Maynooth focuses on bring all of the international students together rather than grouping you with other people from your country. It was a great way to make international connections and a great way to learn more about Ireland and it's history. "
chris.kennedy.167 Fordham University
"I learned a remarkable amount about myself and what I need or don't want to bother with. I also have a far greater understanding of my academic capabilities and feel as if I could confidently enter a graduate programme now instead of heading back to Wellesley for my senior year. The experience was most certainly worthwhile. "
Elizabeth G Wellesley College
"I got to travel all around New Zealand. It was not a life-changing cultural experience, but it was a lot of fun and a good chance to travel abroad ."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned that there is so much more of the world to see! It was definitely worthwhile."
A student University of Maine at Orono
"I met a ton of people from all over the world. I cannot wait to travel back to Europe and visit friends. Traveling also opened up my eyes to how big the world really is. Moving back stateside was sad and all I can think about is traveling. The trip was definitely worthwhile. If someone offered me a ticked back to Dublin right no..."
Amanda L Shippensburg University
"I gained a new perspective about myself, where am I from, and my current circumstances. I was able to integrate what I learned from my home institution into my academics abroad, and learned some new skills and strategies along the way. I made lifelong friends, and gained a perspective on a possible future life path from my exper..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned so much that it is hard to pinpoint one thing. Met a ton of awesome people, traveled a ton, had classes with people for over 10 different countries, etc. "
A student University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
"I made some wonderful friends and connections as part of my year abroad at St. Peter's College. The educational system took some getting used to, but by the end of the year, I felt very comfortable with my schedule and levels of extracurricular involvement."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained exposure to another culture for an extended period of time; it was very worthwhile."
A student University of Central Florida
"I learned a lot about myself and how I handle different situations in very different places. I would probably go with a program more oriented towards what I was looking for but overall my trip to China was awesome and I would definitely do it again...just a little different. "
A student Trinity University
"it was worthwhile and i learned and gained so many new views on the world and i look at things very differently "
Miles J Lincoln University
"I gained responsibility, I grew up and matured a lot during my time there. I learned a lot from other cultures. It was incredibly worthwhile and I would go back in a heartbeat."
A student Bentley University
"It was worthwhile. I learned how nice people can be. I am glad i chose Turkey because most people want to sincerely help you with everything. It is also an very welcoming, family based place."
A student Presbyterian College
"I became extremely independent and able to be in large groups of people comfortably. You learn conversational skills, and skills for meeting new people (you're going to a place where you know NO ONE so you have to try!)"
Emily C University of Maine at Orono
"I gained independence and resilience, which were important and worthwhile lessons to learn, although I did not like the way I had to learn them."
A student Wellesley College
"I met so many incredible people and had so much fun. I would do it again in a heartbeat."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that i freaking love australia."
florian h The University of Texas at Austin
"I made tons of friends from all over the country and the world. I got to immerse myself in Irish culture and see which stereotypes were true. I shattered some stereotypes of Texans, too. I came home with the desire to travel my own country and see the fun things it in too. It was definitely worthwhile and I wish I could go back."
Stephanie S The University of Texas at Austin
"Well, this is broad. I learned a lot about myself, socially. I'm more sure of the types of people I do and do not want to associate with. I also learned that flexibility goes a long way in a country like Perú: everything from the transit system to the service sector is informal and requires a bit of aggressiveness to get what yo..."
Gordon W The University of Texas at Austin
"Outside the disappointing school aspect, the overall abroad experience was very enriching."
Megan J American Business School - Paris
"I learned how to communicate better with people whose beliefs and values are different from my own in a positive manner (and I even became friends with some of them!) I also learned more about what I value in other people and what I like to see when I travel and/or live somewhere. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about the Irish people and Europeans in general. The trip was extremely worthwhile."
