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
"Being a part of the Heritage Greece program was undoubtedly an experience I'll tell my kids about. I deeply appreciate, to this day, the opportunity to have traveled and explore the culture I hold so dear, with other Greek-American students."
Christina B Indiana University of Pennsylvania
"I learned about my heritage, the Greek Culture, and about who I am as a Greek American. Being worthwhile is an understatement."
A student Hofstra University
"This experience was entirely worthwhile and it didn't hurt that the backdrop to it all was gorgeous Maastricht. I learned to be more independent and to really find happiness doing the things I wanted and felt I needed to do, even though they ended up being completely different from what I had imagined my study abroad experience ..."
Marta K Tufts University
"So much I can't even describe "
Jessie B Western Washington University
"I really got to know the language, I got a great experience and met a lot of great people. I can say that I have friends in Japan and that I am one step closer to reaching my goals."
Nicole H University of the Pacific
"The experience abroad was invaluable and irreplaceable for me. Even if I were to travel to Seoul again I don't think it would be the same. It may still be great, but not the same, so this was 100% worthwhile for me. "
A student Brandeis University
"U of M’s highly impersonal environment challenged me to use untapped independence and self-reliance in order to connect with my professors and understand the material. The consequences were well worth the effort, as my professors seemed to recognize the perseverance, encouraging them to be more amendable. Being evaluated by na..."
Briana B Ithaca College
"My communication skills are so much better. Reassuring myself that I can survive in the real world. It was definitely the best experience of my life. Its sad to know it ended but, happy to know it happened. I will never forget my time abroad. I have thought about it everyday since I have been back."
Omair K San Jose State University
"traveling gives you more insight and knowledge than any classroom can or will."
A student Cornell University
"Definitely worthwhile, learned a ton of Spanish, became more independent "
A student Cornell University

A student Clark University - Worcester

A student Cornell University
"self knowledge and a better worldly understanding "
Nicole W University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Learned independence and how to interact with people of different cultures. One of the most worthwhile experiences I've ever had."
A student Cornell University
"I cannot begin to describe all that I gained from my time abroad. I learned how to be truly independent, to navigate strange places with little but a few words and a map, to experience new people and cultures, and really there is too much for a little blurb. I cannot every truly explain how incredible it was, but in short I thin..."
A student Cornell University
"I learned to trust myself and be open and willing to meet new people and make all kinds of different friends."
Germaine N St. Cloud State University
"Everything I sought: wonderful education about Cuba and an experience with socialism. Definitely"
Aaron T University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"I learned how differently my programs could be taught. UK programs encourage students to read a sea of documents. They give a very good survey of the current literature. But the paper or project topics are not as flexible as in the US. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to push myself, how to try, and how to let go of silly things. It was the most worthwhile experience of my life."

"It was completely worthwhile and I would repeat it in a instant. I gain many things not just academically but also personally that made me grow as an individual. "
Geovanni A Loras College
"I learned more about myself by being put into situations in which I didn't have the crutches I was used to (like constant contact with old friends, familiar people, social expectations). It was an incredibly worthwhile experience."
A student William Jewell College
"There are many beautiful people and places in this world. There are also many different viewpoints and cultural thought processes than the American way we are used to. Learn from your international peers."
Andrew T St. Cloud State University
"A completely different view of how education works, and how people work. Completely worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
