|
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
"Australia and the program itself were both very costly but I felt the experience was well-worth the funds, just something I had not prepared for."
Erika J University of New Hampshire
"My experience was worthwhile, gaining understanding of cultural priorities in other countries while still getting the classes that would keep me on schedule with my major. If I could do it again, I would choose a program with either host families or a larger emphasis on language."
Emily G University of Massachusetts Amherst
"Studying abroad is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It is important to be globally aware especially as globalization increases. You learn a lot about yourself and others while abroad. "
Lena E New Mexico State University

Erin R Illinois State University
"Short answer: Yes! Long answer: ...but there's too much to write!

"If I could go back and change my study abroad I would not have gone to england, I probably would have visited some other mainland european country as it would provide an easier access to other countries in addition to providing the language barrier which I probably would have actually enjoyed. Now that I have studied at hull, I ..."

Jason C University of California - San Diego
"Overall, I wanted to learn something about myself, but afterward, I learned that I already do. I know who I am, but I don't know what to do with me... I think my experience helped me realize that I need to find a goal that is less broad and try to work towards."
RLeanne M University of Hawaii - Manoa

"Marchutz changed my life. I've always liked art, but never had the opportunity to pursue it. Now I have the courage and confidence to be an artist. This study abroad experience will expose your weaknesses and your strengths. I learned to make decisions for myself. I learned how to be responsible and how to take it easy. I realiz..."
Margaret E The University of Texas at Austin
"I wouldn't change a thing. "
Carly P Saint Anselm College
"Being evacuated from Egypt helped me to learn many things. I was able to put my planning skills to the test and learned that I'm extremely good at organizing myself on short notice. Meeting new people and seeing amazing things just speaks for the sheer power of coincidence and the impact one decision can have on so many lives."
Briana D Barnard College
