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
"learned about myself, whether I'm adaptable, easily influenced, independent etc, and the importance of having an open mind and acceptance people and cultures vastly different from my own"
A student Cornell University
"It was definitely a rewarding experience and I highly recommend it to every student, especially those who have not had the chance to travel a lot. I feel I learned much about myself and the world by immersing in a different culture and meeting people from all over the world. Living in a foreign city has helped me gain a worldly ..."
Lin H Wellesley College
"Traveling confidence, confidence in immersing myself in a new setting with a language barrier. Yes- worthwhile "
A student Western Washington University
"How to appreciate other cultures, how to go with the flow and how to get the most out of each day"
A student Presbyterian College
"I learned about different cultures, how to live on my own, how to adjust to a new city, what it's like to travel by yourself. Definitely worthwhile."
A student Cornell University
"I have become much better at Hebrew and learned a lot about myself in the process. Language immersion was a challenge that changed my life."
A student Brandeis University
"New friends, experiencing the country and its culture. Yes. "
A student University of Hawaii - Manoa
"An appreciation for other ways of life, it was worthwhile and I believe everyone should try to experience something like this during their life time!"
A student University of Northern Iowa
"It is only by chance that we were born in certain countries and speaking certain languages. Basing characterization upon us and them only creates further borders. Break the pattern. We are of our own free will to learn, to be critical, and to always better ourselves. Although I returned with a greater anti-American sentiment and..."
Katie B The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so many life experiences that would never be able to ever be taught to me in a classroom! I would easily study abroad again!"
Laura F University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I learned Medical manners, medical ethics, hands-on experience with real patients in a medical setting"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned that different cultures have different ways of thinking. For example, local people in Hong Kong tend to not understand sarcasm. It was definitely worthwhile since it was the first time I had stayed in Hong Kong for more than a week. If I had the time and opportunity, I would definitely return! There were too many plac..."
A student Trinity University
"When I left I was 5'9", and now I am 5'10". Studying abroad will make you grow big and strong. Along with the new stature, I can honestly say that I gained an enormous amount of self-confidence and faith in my abilities to function on my own. This challenge also dispelled a lot of old personal insecurities, which just seemed to ..."
A student Presbyterian College
"I learned that American culture is limited in comparison to cultures that have existed for thousands of years. The problems we have with racism and violence do not exist to the degree we have grown to accept. We have alot of lessons to learn from the world and knowing the language is just the first step."
aaron.conaway.71 Villanova University
"It was definitely worth it to improve my spoken Spanish skills. Also, I really enjoyed getting to see the amazing country of Costa Rica. It is a country rich in nature and extremely beautiful. I also liked seeing how the local culture and customs were different from the U.S. There were lots of little customs that were different...."
Hanna H Truman State University

Yuxi C Wellesley College
"yes!"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about different cultures, especially about Germany. My experiences showed me that there is no wrong way to approach life and that the human race is very creative. It was definitely worthwhile!"
Kirsten W Presbyterian College
"You really learn how to fend for yourself. Wellesley is so wonderfully helpful and kind to its students, while SOAS really is not. I had a great time meeting new friends, learning London and traveling Europe. In general, it was a terrific experience. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about my self and I also became extremely independent. I loved London and hope to live there if the future will allow it. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, and although I missed Wellesley dearly, I would strongly encourage everyone to study abroad for at least once semester. "
A student Wellesley College
"I would have regretted not going because I would not have known. In hindsight, I would have gotten just as much out of it with a much shorter program (and also saved thousands of dollars). Like the locals said, much of New Zealand's culture is just the leftovers from America so it's not very different, just more for less."
A student University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I gained a lot more personally and culturally than academically. I learned more from debating and listening to my European friends and their perspective on politics and free markets than from the often scripted and uncaring professors in lectures. By living in an urban city, I also became a lot more independent--it's completely ..."
