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, Belgium, and International Summer Schools.
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 worthwhile to have the opportunity to travel and explore New Zealand. If you like to be outdoors and meet other people who like similar activities, then it is a great experience."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how much I am capable of as an independent person. I learned how to adapt to a new environment, how to think and learn in a different way, how to interact with different people, how to be comfortable alone, and how to travel alone. I met some really cool people, did some cool things, and made some good memories."
A student Wellesley College

"A few important lessons for me were: - Take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself, but also don't be afraid to take time to yourself when needed - I learned one of my strengths is talking to people - leaning into new experiences was incredibly important and I learned how much I loved getting to know people from..."

"I learned how international travel works! I learned a lot about navigating a new country and interacting with new people even with not knowing a lot of the language. I thought it was a very worthwhile experience."

"This program requires you to be independent and self-motivated since classes are recorded and attendance is optional, and I became more confident by forcing myself out of my comfort zone. "
A student Wellesley College
"Increased writing and research abilities, new friends, and an increased understanding of the UK and European international relations."
A student Brandeis University
"I chose to go to Aotearoa NZ to get outdoors and venture beyond day hikes (which was what I was primarily used, coming from a big city). I grew so much in my outdoor skills this semester, and I highly recommend Aotearoa NZ for those looking to start learning how to camp/how to backpack. The tramping club was also a great resourc..."
A student Wellesley College
"It was worthwhile and I learned a lot about myself through travel (being with other people, what things make me excited, how I like to interact with people)."
Benson C Middlebury College
"I learned to push myself past all my comfort zones and overcome my fear of discomfort and failure, which has often held me back from making my own decisions and doing things I wanted to in the past. At my home university, my focus was always to study and stay on campus, but while abroad, I felt the brevity of my time there and t..."
A student Brandeis University

"The interdisciplinary Food, Sustainability, and Environment program was an amazing opportunity to use food as a vehicle to approach learning about Italian culture, sustainability, and the environment.

A student Wellesley College
"As an American who had only been outside of the country for a weeklong trip to Canada, studying in Europe for a semester is a huge perspective shift. I learned a lot about foreign cultures and challenged expectations I had before."
Agustin Z University of North Dakota
"It is very interesting to experience the British education, and very specifically Oxford education as a history student.
