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 am a much more confident person now and I have also learned how to deal with all sorts of people and difficult situations. I grew up a lot in the five months I was in Brazil, and though it was often VERY trying I would do it again in a heartbeat."
Alejandra S The University of Texas at Austin
"I definitely think studying abroad was worth while. I mean even with the hard parts you learn about yourself and what you want from your school and your education, you will grow despite everything."
Meghan H Clark University
"My study abroad experience was priceless. It taught me about who I am and my own openness to different cultures. It motivated me to want to travel to as many places as I possibly can. It taught me how independent I can be and it provided me with a new set of international friends. It refreshed me and took away the stress tha..."
Erica A Wellesley College
"Yes. I learned that I am much braver than I give myself credit for and I learned how to function on my own."
Jennifer O SUNY Purchase
"I actually didn't realize how much my experience abroad changed my ways of thinking until the months following my return. I've started to analyze my interactions with the rest of the world differently, it's made me feel more comfortable in my skin, and has helped me lay down concrete goals for myself that I want to achieve. One ..."
Mallory F University of Rhode Island
"I think that the experiences I gained working in the London lab and the travels I was able to complete made my experience worthwhile. "
A student
"It was the absolute best time of my life, and I wouldn't change a second of it, or dream of having gone to a different program. I am a completely different person than I was when I left, and would go back to Erfurt at any given possible opportunity."
Shana M The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely! I'm still considering the possibility of going back to Paderborn next year either for studies for work."
Tyler F Illinois State University
"I firmly believe every student, every human should live in a foreign country for at least a few months. It's really eye-opening. I think that my semester abroad was a good respite from Wellesley tunnel vision and ambition. I have a love/hate relationship with the school and I think I was ready for some space from all the Wellesl..."
Esther K Wellesley College
"Better language skills, independence"
Maureen K The University of Texas at Austin
"I love to travel! This has made me less afraid of doing it alone; I now have a grasp of how 'things work' elsewhere and it has made me more confident to explore other places. I love having the stories to tell family and friends; your experience is so unique and unlike what anyone else may be doing. As far as the educational apse..."
Breanna T Albion College
"Yes it was very worthwhile"
Dashawon B Wright State University
"I gained an appreciation for the subtleties of British culture, but the real benefit for me was the opportunity I had to explore a subject area unavailable to me at my home college. I'm actually looking to go back to Cambridge University for a graduate program in the field that I studied while in the program."
Rebecca R Wellesley College
"YES, very much so, I would do it again if i could. My future plans have been reinforced, I was unsure whether or not I wanted to continue to travel all over the world, but since I have spent these few months abroad, all of my ideas have surfaced, and I hope to elaborate upon them in years to come. "
David P University of Northern Iowa
"yes"
Genevieve K Wellesley College
"I am more open to trying new things, not just food. IES is a great program and I would recomend it to anyone. IT has reminded my of why I really want to work and travel abroad."
Stephanie R Trinity University
"Yes. "
Elaine W DePauw University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I will never regret it for the rest of my life. I wish I had gone for an entire year because when I was leaving I was just then really starting to feel like a local. I think it is at that moment when one is able to truly understand what it means to live outside of the US, to grow up in a country, cu..."

"This gave me another perspective on how people live. It expanded my understanding of the world. "
