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
"That's very objective and overall a useless question. If anyone says it wasn't worthwhile they have way larger issues to deal with. I can learn from any experience and it was no different. It was enlightening and while there were struggles, every adventure brings different outcomes, it was just another one."
Colin B Michigan State University
"Absolutely. There is no down side to cultural immersion. Yes, there will be things that you don't like. But you become a better person for having been exposed to them. Life is a collection of experiences, good and bad. A semester abroad gives you an abbreviated opportunity to have the life of someone else. You get to live in the..."
Nick S University of Florida
"I absolutely love Scotland and Aberdeen! I really learned a lot about the differences between words and pronounciations with people from the United Kingdom and the United States. I was also able to learn about their values and what is expected of students, parents, and neighbors. I was also able to learn a lot about other cultur..."

"During this time frame, you learn the most about yourself; you grow as an individual and see many things in a more mature way."

Claire L Austin College
"The trajectory of my entire life changed because I studied abroad. And I cannot imagine my life without it now. Since Rome, I've also lived in London and Chicago, and I'm getting ready for a move to NYC. However, I also have more opportunities and travel around the world more frequently, and I'm more conscious of other cultures ..."
Desiree P University of the Incarnate Word
"YES! I am a thousand times more confident in myself, and am much more able to adapt to new situations. Living in a foreign country always offers many challanges, especially when traveling, but the skills I gained are invaluable. My experience has also awakened my passions for international education and has given me the drive..."
Tess B University of Florida
"I wish that my time abroad never ended. It was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I gained so much independence, flexibility, and knowledge about living in an entirely different culture. I plan on visiting Rome at least 6 more times in my life because it is too amazing of a city to let go after a single study abroa..."
Kelsey B University of Miami
"Very worthwhile."

"Very worthwhile."

"This was an amazing experience that helped me gain cultural awareness and independence. I have more of an appreciation for my home country and for people with diverse perspectives as a result of my time abroad."
Jessica M Boston College
"It was unforgettable! I have made a whole bunch of new friends internationally as well as strengthened my love and passion for Chinese Language and Culture! Highly recommended! "
Lukas K University of Exeter
"I just loved studying abroad. I got to see new cultures and diversity with the world yet still feel a connection with people I met being a normal person like me with religion, political views, social life, and etc. "
Jordan R University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa
"My study abroad experience was 100% worthwhile. Not only did I manage to make my first steps towards picking up a new language, but I met some amazing friends from all over the world."
Jason W University of Exeter
"Yes, yes, and yes. The Maori worldview is beautiful, and we should all take a lesson from them. The biculturalism inherent to their history was new to me, and it's nice to see a country that is trying hard to embrace it's indigenous roots and heritage. As far as how it's impacted me, I'd say that I better understand foreign p..."
Michael S The University of Texas at Austin
"Of course it was worthwhile. I gave it a 3/5 because it is something I will never forget. It has not changed my cultural awareness in the slightest or changed my academic interests/future plans. I came, I saw, I came back."
James C Illinois State University
"I'm not sure if it's worthwhile. It is true that I got to see the world more and made a lot of friends from different parts of the world. However, the program in the host school didn't start until November. For the first two months I got only one project to do and it's not very fulfilling for me. After the program started, I fou..."
Ellen Z Pepperdine University Graziadio School of Business and Management
"Yes, I learned so much about myself and other cultures"
William L University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"I got to see China! I met great people and got to visit a place that I had envisioned very differently. I am continuing on my same career path, but I can't wait to return and see more."
Sara L Oregon State University
"New Zealand isn't too different culturally from America. We speak the same language, which I think made my study abroad experience much easier than it would have been going to a country where I didn't know the language. But the culture is quite a bit different - everything is much more laid back and less goal oriented, which was..."
Carly W Middlebury College
"yes it is something that will set me apart form other in the future and made me appreciate my home! "
Melanie D New Mexico State University
"This experience was phenomenal."
Brittany M Oregon State University
"YES! I gained a better understanding of where my perceptions were coming from, and how skewed many of them were. South Africa is full of different cultures, each one different and beautiful at the same time. I wish I could have stayed a year instead of a semester. I traveled around southern Africa for over a month, but did no..."
Marlee C University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"My time studying abroad was very worth-while - it was a much needed break from the academic grind and routine social life at my home institution. If I could do it again for one semester, I would choose this program; however, if I were to study abroad for a year, I would probably not pick this program."
Greg B The College of William and Mary
"Living and studying in a different cultural environment definitely increased my global awareness. Also going to school in a city was very different from Middlebury but was a worthwhile experience. "
