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 think it was worthwhile to go abroad. I am more sure of myself and more independent now. I also feel more aware of global issues & affairs than before. The exposure to a different culture and education system was very interesting, and I think that it's nice to see another perspective."
Jie H Wellesley College
"Phenomenal, just don't expect much help from the school. If you can study hard on your own, you will love the program."
Eric S Southwest Jiaotong University
"It was a humbling experience, because the students I was with are really exceptional, and it was a strange thing to find myself in the middle of the pack. However, it's also hurt my confidence a little bit in Physics, and I'll need to see if I'm really going to put Physics before Computer Science (my minor) in the end. It was ..."
Lucy A Wellesley College
"Studying abroad is the most worthwhile decision I have ever made. This six months has changed my life. My spanish skills have improved and I have gained a love for travel. "
Meredith S Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I am so glad that I went abroad. Not only did I continue to accomplish my academic goals, I was able to learn how to balance leisure and academics more effectively (which also developed my time management skills). I made a group of incredible friends, and I had the best time learning about many different cultures."
Averi G Wellesley College
"I gained a greater understanding of culture and difference and how to deal with differences by study abroad in Australia."
Dalton B College of Saint Benedict and Saint Johns University
"It was worthwhile because I grew as a person and experienced a completely different lifestyle. It impacted my cultural awareness because I lived in a city that believes they are more european then latino, therefore it was interesting to see why and which type of people really stuck to that. "
Gabrielle G Towson University
"I learned so much about myself! I had a wonderful time and would do it all over again in a heart beat. Because of my experience, I am looking to go teach abroad will I graduate in the spring."

"I feel that after this experience, I have matured so much. Before I always relied on other people to help me do things, and now I know I can do it on my own! I have become more independent. I also feel that I have learned so much, because what I was learning in class I would see first hand. Studying abroad as made me realize tha..."
Catherine A Illinois State University
"I believe this program was perfect for me, as it gave me the opportunity to interact and become friends with many students from China, Korea, France, and America, without as much of a pressure of language barriers. It has encouraged me to pursue the Chinese Language more and also focus my career on international business rather..."
Harry R Towson University
"I should have gone a French university where English was not an option. If one desires to learn French, perhaps an international business school is not the best location. In addition, when I go to school, that is what I want to do. BEM doesn't give the impression that academics are of the top most importance. What one should get..."
Matthew D Western Washington University
"It may sound cliched, but I know I've grown so much as a student and person from my study abroad experience. I now know I have the self-discipline, independence, and open mind that are necessary for new academic and personal experiences. I also met so many incredible people who are not only intelligent, but also friendly and fun..."
Aimee M Barnard College
"Yes, I learned to be more patient and understanding of others and where they are coming from. You never know someone's story until you talk to them. Everyone is the same in some ways and cultures are beautiful things that should be protected and embraced. "
Danielle M Towson University
"I will go back to Sevilla to visit my host family. They were one of the sweetes people I have ever met. I realized the difference of race preceptions that Americans have verses Europeans which will help me write my thesis this coming senior year."
Daysy A Barnard College
"I greatly enjoyed my study abroad experience. Like everything, it is what you make of it. So, dispite any problems with the administration, the educational system, etc. it was all part of the experience and I was just happy to be living in Rome! I definitely learned how to be more independent, and I learned more about myself ..."

Rose Z Olin College
"Yes, I really enjoyed my experience. I became a lot more independent and gained a whole new understanding of cultural differences and international experiences. It opened up the world for me a little bit and brought it closer to me and makes it seem more practical to plan to interact with it in the future. It also gave me a new ..."
