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
"It was the most amazing experience. I learned about a different perspective of the world and has made me more in-tune with international issues. I met a lot of really great people and was able to see so many amazing things. I feel like I have matured and grown from this experience since I had to learn to work things out for myse..."
Sarah F SUNY - Binghamton
"Worthwhile, definitely. My wallet hurts, my liver hurts. I've seen a lot, experienced a lot, and met great people. However, the classes were a mockery to education."
Andrew R SUNY - College at Oswego
"YES. For me, it was more about personal growth than about the academics. It was a good experience"
Lily Z Wellesley College
"Definately, was ready to go back the week I returned to the states. "
John C Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I am now a more experienced traveller. I also look to make friends with everyone, as they can become a family for life. I realized not all cultures are the same, and depending on where you are, you should respect their traditions in the best way that you can. "
Erin R Illinois State University

Chase M Illinois State University
"yes, I'm glad I studyed abroad"
Kieran P Illinois State University
"Definitely! I got to experience another culture. I got to be thrown into situations in which I was challenged to figure out solutions. I learned how to survive in a foreign city (that is, how to use a map, how to figure out a cities transportation infrastructure, how to find an affordable hostel, how to plan a trip with friends,..."
Kaitlyn O Presbyterian College
"It was everything I wished and more but I think every experience you go on will be like that. I didn't like my location and England is an alright country to live in, but in my opinion more of a place to visit for a couple of days because of how expensive it is. But, I loved my school because it was an international school and yo..."
Emily W University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I learned how to meet new people in a place where I knew absolutely no one, and that is something I know I will live with for the rest of my life. I taught myself how to get around foreign countries armed with only a map, and I learned a lot about myself in the meantime. "
Christie D SUNY Purchase
"Amazing. Wordsreally can not expalin."
Maddie B University of Wisconsin - Stout
"So much. I am very cultured."
Erin R Illinois State University
"I learned a lot about Korean culture, and fell in LOVE with it! Being in Korea made me really want to live abroad in the future, and I came to love my COM major even more! Because of this experience, I want to go back to teach English after college, and maybe even live there long term. "
Jaymee T Illinois State University
"not to trust people (my roommate stole valuable things from me and lied to me twice as frequently) to be more appreciative of the things i have and what i am. to remember the importance of passion"
Tara S University of Rochester
"I have come to learn a lot more about myself in my time there and my language skills did improve, but I wish I would have been able to take advantage of more of the opportunities that were available to me while I was there."
Jeremy R Valparaiso University
"This experience changed my life. Not only did I meet my possible future husband, but I found my love for travel. I have already began to think about my future after graduation of possibly living in Harare, Zimbabwe and teaching at the International School thre, traveling up Africa through Europe and stopping to live, work, and v..."

"i learned a lot about myself and how to travel on a budget. it also helped me realize that i want to get into the travel business."
Natalie C Illinois State University
"I have learned a lot about the many differences between American/South American Spanish, and the Spanish of Castilla. The differences between both have increased my knowledge that I will eventually relay to my students as a Spanish teacher. "
Krista M Illinois State University
"Yes it was extremely worthwhile. It is important to realize that the world does not revolve around the country in which you live in."
Mike R University of Hartford
"I learned that I can be flexible and adaptable. After being evacuated out of Egypt I had to throw out months of planning and do what I had to do. I'm hoping to go back abroad to finish what I started. Now that I've been to other countries, my list of things to do has been multiplied by millions!"
Jessica S Presbyterian College
"My experience was a much needed personal experience. "
Leah H University of North Carolina - Wilmington

"I feel much much more independent. I'm not as trapped in my American bubble, I pay more attention to the whole world around me. I also can cook now :)"
Krista V University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I had more of a personal growth from this program due to the nature of having to do a lot of things on my own. I learned that while it is difficult, I am capable of adapting well and I can feed myself. Drinking culture/social culture I found to be very different from those in the United States. I also learned that despite having..."
