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
"I grew so much from my time abroad - it was by far the best experience of my life. I had the opportunity to live in and learn about a culture different from my own. I gained an appreciation for traveling."
Julie G University of Maryland - College Park
"I learned that being able to live in another country for 4 months is one of the most important and eye-opening things that a college student can do. If you can survive, thrive, get around, and live in another country, you can do anything. It was one of the most worthwhile things I could have ever done as a 20 year old Junior col..."
Casey S Towson University
"I gained a broader view of the world, international friends and connections, and practical and applicable knowledge of the Russian language and culture."
Karman S Kansas State University
"I learned to appreciate what a good, strong family system I have at home. And that I can do anything in life."
kathleen.plankenhorn Illinois State University
"I learned to not be afraid to use Spanish, being able to see different cultures is a cool experience, and I was able to travel a lot and get to know the real Mexico, not just the party places. It was definitely worth while. "
A student Illinois State University
"My experience was like an enigma that I still haven't reexamined because of how much it affected me, not in ways necessarily positive. In some ways it was worthwhile, and in others it definitely was not."
A student Wellesley College
"So far I've learned about just European culture in general. It's a different way of life... and it's not better or worse... just different."
Kory C Illinois State University
"I LOVE Leicester. I have learned so much by being here. The best part of the semester, though, was the 5 week break which I spent backpacking. It may me experience so many different cultures which i enjoyed so much. The reason I wouldn't choose Leicester again is nothing against the school or program itself, I would just prefer ..."
Erin A Illinois State University
"This experience was truly the most spontaneous, adventurous, and wonderful thing I could have ever done. I'm beyond grateful and blessed to have been giving this opportunity. If you have the chance, you MUST do it. It teaches you so much about yourself, life in general, different ways of living/cultures, and really puts life int..."
Gina D SUNY - Fashion Institute of Technology
"Precious language skills, I met some awesome people, and I know how to effectively assimilate into a new culture. 100% worthwhile."
Anthony V Illinois State University
"Got to see the different environments, try local foods, and experience local culture. Fully immersed myself in the culture. I chose classes that I found to be very interesting, and 2/4 of them had field trips."
Megan L Wellesley College
"How to live on my own and handle problems better. I loved Rome and look forward to visiting/moving there in the future"
tim.knoepke Carthage College
"How Americans are viewed worldwide, the history of ancient Rome and Italy and how to appreciate food and wine more. Yes it was absolutely worthwhile. "
A student Michigan State University
"It was absolutely worth it. Every experience abroad enriches you, and Rome has a lot to offer. The university AUR gives you the possibility to "
Svea N
"The amount of knowledge I gained abroad is immeasurable. "
Daniel N Saint John Fisher College
"During my semester I got to experience another culture and a different type of learning environment. It was definitely worthwhile. It was the perfect Febmester experience. I got to travel and start school when my other friends were. Also coming here, starting classes again was not as scary as it was for other Febs who hadn't..."
A student Middlebury College
"I definitely learned about being frugal and saving money only for necessities, however, I found that the costliness of the UK (specifically London and surrounding areas) made it difficult to fully explore and enjoy my trip. So I would say that lesson wasn't entirely worth it."
leighleeful Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about Irish culture and learned about environmental issues as they perceive them in my classes. It was defiantly worth my time because i can bring that perspective back to America. "
Carley B Truman State University
"I learned that I can EASILY be away from everything i know! It was such an experience, I cannot stop talking about going back. "
Lexie L Western Washington University
"I learned how to fend for myself, especially in a place that was far from home you learn how to become independent. This experience definitely encouraged me to keep on traveling."
Isabel F University of California - Riverside
"'Things' happen. Prepare for everything and always plan ahead!"
Jorge F University of California - Riverside
"I learned a lot about myself and about another culture. I learned that French people stereotype foreigners and especially Americans. This experience was not worthwhile for me and I've learned more and had much more fun while travelling alone to other places. "
Nora W University of Maine at Orono
"See problems through different perspectives and cultures. "
Hua Wen R University of California - Riverside
"I learned a lot about being on my own in a big city. I loved London, it is now one of my favorite cities. Although classes did not meet as often as they do at Middlebury, I had a lot of free time to enjoy myself abroad and I really got to know London well. "

"It was an eye opening experience in so many ways. It was definitely worthwhile! "
