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
"Absolutely worthwhile. I can't wait to move back to Germany."
Audrey S The University of Texas at Austin
"The experience was definitely worth while, it impacted my cultural awareness of many different backgrounds. I learned from both the academics and the social experience I shared with other interational students and the locals. Though my academic interests did not change, I am now seeing my fields of interest in a worldwide perspe..."

Katie G Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn / University of Bonn
"I found new direction in my life and studies, I met some of the most amazing people I've ever come across, I learned how to savor and appreciate time, food, art in ways I never though possible. "
Florence P The University of Texas at Austin
"Most definitely. You learn so much about yourself as well as those around you."
Maivi T University of the Pacific
"Even though Australians speak English and are very similar in culture to the US, I have learned so much more about what makes Australia and Australians unique and amazing. Specifically for geology, studying there has helped me decide about what I might want to do after I graduate and living in Australia and working there is now ..."
Emily V University of Southern California
"Because I took classes with Korean and International students, I was exposed to various perspectives and I was able to see the positive and negative aspects of multiple cultures. My experience helped encourage me to pursue a career abroad because I saw just how much we seek to learn from each other and sharing cultures."
Jessica L University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I have become so much more confident and independent from this experience. In addition, I met people from all over the world, which was truly eye-opening. From major cultural differences about politics and day-to-day life to little differences, it was an incredible learning experience."
Laura D SUNY - College at Geneseo
"Yes. I learned to be more independent and improved my Korean. I actually think I want to go back and become fluent in the language."
Taheera V The University of Texas at Austin
"This experience has changed my life (and yes I know I'm a cliche). This experience opened my eyes to a different part of the world I rarely paid attention to before and has changed the way I think about the world. This program has also changed my future plans in that I now want to take at least a year off after college to work..."
Naomi D Northern Michigan University
"I learn so much from doing this program, more than a class could ever teach me. This experience definitely changed my outlook on the world and life, and has made me a stronger person for it to. One thing I do know that I definitely want to go back, and if possible find a job in Japan and live there."
Diana S University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I learned an appreciation for American universities. I had other unexpected "events" happen on my study abroad experience that helped me grow as an individual, but living in another country on your own will definitely teach you a lot about yourself!"
Virginia O University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"yes."
Sarah S Barnard College
"Yes. The political, cultural, and scientific discussions I was afforded by meeting people from all over the globe was well-worth the struggles I had encountered pre-trip. I now have a plethora of new friends and contacts in: the UK, France, Italy, Lithuania, Scotland, Spain, Chile, Gambia, China, Taiwan, Australia, Greece, Ge..."
Alexandra P University of Northern Iowa
"I can't put it into words. It changed my life. All cheesyness aside."
Taylor S Presbyterian College
"This experience was invaluable. Speaking/hanging out with people of different cultures truly helped me become a more worldly person. I a much more understanding of different cultures and their perspective on our country. Valpo makes it easy for students to study abroad."
Hayden O Valparaiso University
"Experienced how catchment management and water management differs in Australia compared to the UK. Real eye opener to the probelms faced in an arid country, to one where water is almost taken for granted. Future plans and job prospects have certainly been boosted by the experience of the exchange and the contacts created."
Greg S University of Dundee
"Yes, very much so. I went because I wanted to learn the language better and I did."
Janette M The University of Texas at Austin
"I have a much deeper appreciation for the ancient history of Western Civilization and how relevant it is to society today. I also value discussion-based classes and open dialogue which I wish were incorporated more into my home institution's style of teaching. I have had small classes like this with Plan II, but this program is ..."

"Yes, I loved Japan, and I learned so much of the language and culture there! I am even thinking about going back to Japan to work there for the rest of my life after finishing school, "
Jin K University of the Pacific
"I feel that I gained a lot from having the new experience of living in London for a year (as opposed to a semester), which allowed me to interact with the people and the culture over a longer time period, and attending a UK institution, which is substantially different from those in the U.S. I also am happy about the intellectua..."
