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
"I grew a deeper patience with the world, which is I believe one of the most important things to have. You need to have understanding of other people and cultures in order to change the world. I don't think that I've ever been stuck inside a box, but if I was this program really opened my eyes to what I hadn't seen before. "
Sarah B Sarah Lawrence College
"I'm now studying full-time at the Gerrit Rietveld, pursuing a second degree. I am active in the art community here in Amsterdam and have found myself surprisingly at home in this amazing international city. I'm much more committed to pursuing a future in the arts and I've learned a lot from living in such a diverse and dynamic e..."
Jessica D Wellesley College
"It was definitely a worthwhile experience even though I decided to leave the program a semester earlier than I had planned for. Surprisingly, I think of Japan everyday and of my life there and the people that I met. I would certainly do it all over again. I went into it not sure what to expect and was surprised by what it turned..."

Catherine W University of Hartford
"This program is definitely worthwhile (if you're taking the Fundamentals in Chinese Medicine course). The visits to chinese medicine clinics and tours around Hong Kong allowed me to see several diverse aspects of Hong Kong (both its mountainous regions, cities, beaches, and natural landmarks)."
Vivian Y Harvard University
"yes, i really enjoyed it"
Paulina G University of California - Riverside
"I learned a lot about myself and how I operate under certain circumstances, like trying to solve problems in another language and with other people that don't have the same background as myself. I also learned better how to plan for trips and how to better manage money. But I learned all of this in a fun, fairly stress-free mann..."
Renae H University of North Dakota
"Yes, it was a different academic environment with different teaching styles and different students. It was also a lot of fun."
Graham S Harvard University
"My experience was definitely worthwhile! I gained a better knowledge of Arabic, a better cultural knowledge of Morocco, and a significant other (I met a Moroccan who I am now seriously dating). I plan to return to Morocco after graduating!"
Theodora S Harvard University
"After studying abroad, I have a much broader world view. I understand elements of different cultures that I never knew existed. Being abroad has made me a much more out-going people person. The friends and connections I made are those which will last a lifetime. Not a single day goes by where I don't talk to those friends and re..."
Robert R University of North Dakota
"It helped me with my understanding of the language, as well as make some amazing new friends and have some GREAT experiences that I will never forget!"
Christopher S University of North Dakota
"I would've rated it five stars if I wouldn't have had issues with accommodation. I feel like I have grown as an individual and have become more confident in myself. I now know that I can live independently, on a budget, in a foreign country- I dont think many people can say that when they are 20!"
Olivia C University of North Dakota
"I loved being abroad and would love to work abroad. I've learned so much."
Darbie C University of North Dakota
"Yes it was worthwhile! In some way, I feel like before the trip I was missing something about the world, and now I have a better handle on it. I truly am a changed person, and will draw from my experiences, friends, and classroom work from Cambridge for the rest of my life."
Erin F Harvard University
"Possibly moving to Korea to work"
Bryan S University of California - Riverside
"being to travel easily around Europe was amazing. Also being able to visit historical tourist attractions that I had heard of/ learned about was very interesting"
Victoria L Wellesley College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I made friends that I will have for the rest of my life and I learned so much about Germany as well as myself that I honestly think that it should be required to study abroad. "
Jacob R University of North Dakota
"Yes. Confidence, Fluency in the language, lots of new friends, fun, being away from Harvard is a gift in itself."
Ngoc N Harvard University
"I gained a better understanding of myself as a student and a person, and of the world. I gave my experience five stars because I truly enjoyed getting to know people from Europe and being able to improve my German so much after working on it in America for so long."
