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
"It was not worthwhile. I feel if I chose a different university in England I would have enjoyed it much more. I am very angry with University of Leicester for making my study abroad experience difficult."
Katie K Illinois State University
"it was completely worthwile. however, for some its just a party and so classes and the whole purpose of being there can get jumbled. for me, i felt like my classes were lacking the usual pace im used to back home which affected my performance in school. however, being there has made me acutely aware of multiple and diverse cultu..."
Hannah P Illinois State University
"This taught me how to manage money, become more independent, and gain respect for foreigners in the US. I just want to travel for the rest of my life!"
Megan W Illinois State University
"Yes"
jalyn D Providence College
"I became more comfortable speaking Italian, and traveling alone. The program definitely expanded my cultural awareness; for the most part I didn't experience much culture shock moving from NY to Rome, but there are some differences I had to get used to."
Elizabeth e American University
"I don't consider myself a feminist but I despise the way boys and men treat women in this country. It is shocking how many men don't trust their girlfriends to go places alone or the appalling cat calls a girl receives which walking innocently on the street. At times here I felt more like a piece of meat than I did a real person..."

Trevor S University of California - Riverside
"Yes "
Rachel W Lynn University
"It was definitely a good way to learn the Spanish language. Learned a lot about a new culture and getting around on my own. This has raised my cultural awareness and let me get a great start on my Spanish Minor. "
Lauren K University of Northern Iowa
"I pushed myself out of my comfort zone--since the program did not facilitate too much cultural immersion, I sought out opportunities myself. I had a great experience, for example, when I joined a salsa class by myself that was taught in Hebrew to Tel Aviv University students. I also enjoyed my classes and made an effort to get t..."
Ariella C Tufts University
"Yes, looking to go back for grad school."
Kawin C University of California - Riverside
"Loved it!"
Alex P Kansas State University
"more confidence on my spanish "
Menelik M Southern University - New Orleans
"My study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. In taking classes outside my major, I realized that my career path belongs in business (I had previously considered law school) and that I am, in fact, eager to begin my accounting job upon return to the United States. I am also grateful to have had the opportunity to experien..."
Katherine B University of the Pacific
"Although I didn't have the academic experience that I was hoping for here, I'm still very glad that I chose this program, and would absolutely choose it again. I have learned a lot about the benefits of a slower pace of life, much needed for me, and how to interact with people who think very differently from myself."
Sarah G University of the Pacific
"This whole experience was very worth while. I learned a lot about myself, about other cultures perspective of the US, and about alternative lifestyles than that one I led back home. Studying abroad will challenge what you think you know about yourself, and will shape you into a better and more understanding person."
Matt J University of California - San Diego
"Yes; I loved the fact that I was able to meet people from Finland, Denmark, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, France, Canada...etc. I really loved the city life and the food there was amazing!"
Han Eol L The College of William and Mary
"My experience did worth it, specially for the money I spent."
Keith T Ciudad Vieja Spanish Academy
"Yes I am glad that I went but it was more challenging and disappointing than I expected."
Melissa O University of California - San Diego
"I absolutely loved studying abroad in Dublin. I was able to learn so much about Irish society, history, and culture, while also getting to see a variety of sights within the city. This also provided me with the opportunity to travel throughout Ireland as we took multiple tours around County Dublin, as well as tours to Galway, ..."
Sarah B Eastern Connecticut State University
"Definitely. I chose to study in Canada because as one of our closest neighbors in trade, I wanted to get to know the country better as their economy directly affects ours and vice versa. I noticed many similarities and differences in both countries. "
Daisy C University of California - San Diego
"Yes, it was very worthwhile! I wouldn't change it for the world!"
Madalyn L SUNY - College of Technology at Alfred (Alfred State University)
"So many cultures are different and it was nice to learn a different culture and see a different way of living. The people made the experience completely enjoyable. I would have to say the experience was so amazing because of the location in a smaller city. I would love to come back to Sorrento someday, and possibly do a lot mo..."
Katheryn P SUNY - College of Technology at Alfred (Alfred State University)
"absolutely worthwhile. "
Steven P University of California - San Diego
"Studying abroad in general has helped me determine what kind of career I want to have after university. The close interaction with faculty and seeing my fellow students' senior honors dissertations has guided me towards what I want to actually do. I would not have had that experience at my home institution simply because of th..."
