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 learned a lot about living with people from different cultures, and I would have to say that my experiences of travelling and meeting new people made the stay in Menton worthwhile. I would not have wanted to stay longer than a semester. "
Rebecca R The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile, I only wish it could have been longer! I loved traveling, meeting new people, living in a city, speaking another language, living with my host family, and trying new things (especially food!)!"
A student The College of William and Mary
"Although certain aspects of your study abroad may not be exactly what you expect or want, those things teach you important lessons that can develop skills which are applicable throughout life. I learned to embrace and savor the positive times and phenomenal happenings. More importantly, I learned how to examine negative experien..."
Andrew C The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained lifelong friends and it was worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"Language skills and also the ability to connect with people from all kinds of backgrounds using minimal language skills. Lots of insight into Chinese society and business practices"
A student Western Washington University
"I learned how to get along with all kinds of people and that everyone has a story. And they will tell you that story if you take the time to listen. There's so much beauty out there that we never take the time to look at and we should. It was the best experience of my life so far and I can't wait to travel again. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned many things outside of the university. I learned about the French culture, I traveled to other cities in France, and I had great food. The class offered at IAU need improvement. The classes felt like a waste of time, and most of them weren't very interesting. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Very worthwhile, enjoyed the different culture and scenery. "
A student Western Washington University
"There is beauty in a lot of unlikely places. "
A student Bentley University
"I learned so much from this experience, such as personality traits and habits that are consistent even when no one knows who I am. I also learned a lot of traits and mannerisms from different cultures. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would do it all over again. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying abroad at WU was the experience of a lifetime. Although I suffered a hiccup when a misunderstanding led to not being able to complete a class, the overall experience was overwhelmingly positive. I picked up a little of a new language, was able to explore a city full of history and culture, made new friends, and had the ..."
A student Bentley University
"gained so much cultural experience and was exposed to a new way of life that i absolutely LOVED! completely worthwhile, wish i could do it all over again."
Lauren P Bentley University
"It was definitely worthwhile. Seeing and experiencing the inside of the great Chinese culture. China is an old civilization with plenty of history and in the same time it becomes so modern and grows economically everyday. Very interesting place to be ! INTO China program has given me a lifetime experience, which I will remember ..."

"Australia is not necessarily so different from any other anglo-saxon culture, but Australians still has a reputation for being more laid-back and relaxed than Americans, something my hands-on experience can now verify. Adapting was easy as living is extremely easy in Australia, despite the price levels. It was definitely worth w..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was very worthwhile. I think the most valuable thing I gained was friends from all over the world, who I will definitely keep in contact with."
A student Trinity University
"It was definitely worthwhile! I gained many international friends and learned a lot about the European cultures as well as the Asian cultures that I was able to travel too. "
bailey.bennett.140 The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worthwhile. Learned to be more independent and learned about living abroad and all that comes with it. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was a very tough program, but it was completely worthwhile. Take 3 or 4 classes if your home university will let you. I learned about so many different cultures, and got a better idea of what kind of work I'd like to do in the future (something international)"
Marc S Bentley University
"Totally worthwhile; a once in a lifetime experience. Learned so much about the relationship between America and foreign countries and I learned a lot about New Zealand culture. I also learned to be independent and entertain/care for myself for 5 months."
Daniel P Middlebury College
"I learned to live on my own in a city which will be very helpful moving forward. I got to see a lot of the world and gain new perspectives.The experiences i had abroad will contribute to future success."
matt m Bentley University
"I learned how to be an independent person and how to take care of myself. I also learned that it is important to make friends with the local people rather than just being friends with Americans only. It was definitely worthwhile but I don't think I would be able to live in Australia for a long period of time again. "
Rachel K Middlebury College
"It was completely worthwhile. I learned a lot about patiences and accepting cultural differences. I also learned a lto about the EU. If I could do it again I think I would pick a different city in France just to get a bit more language exposure and see authentic French life outside of the big city."
A student Saginaw Valley State University
"One thing that I learned was that you have to go into every situation with an open mind. I met so many different people from different cultures. I also learned to be a lot more independent and I would say that it was definitely worthwhile"
Ryan N Bentley University
"The biggest thing that I picked up from my study abroad experience was the enormous contrast in culture that Latin America has in comparison to the United States. In Chile, as well as other countries we were able to visit in South America we were able to speak with locals and learned the value of family and the importance th..."
Daniel N The University of Texas at Austin
"The best time of my life. Took my 4 months there for granted and now I want to go back and do everything all over again. Currently having withdrawals but made the best memories there and still continuing to keep in touch with the friends I've met from over there. I've learned that there is so much more out there and became more ..."
