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
"Being independent and learning how the world works from 4,000 miles away from what I'm used to. Best 4 months of my life... I'd go back in a second (if I had any money left)."
Brenna G Illinois State University
"I learned how to use public transportation in any country. How to budget very well and book hotels/hostels. Be early for any train or plane. I learned that I am a homebody and I love the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Overall it was a great experience, and it will leave a lasting impression that I will never forget. Everyone should e..."

"definitely. "
Kristen S Illinois State University
"I have learned so much about myself, others, and the world. It is one of those experiences that you can't explain to family and friends unless they have gone abroad themselves. It is a whole different world over there, a world that is near simple and care-free and easy going. You learn about judgement of people, independence of ..."
Kirk H Illinois State University

Neel P Lawrence University
"I'm glad I went. I was able to learn all sorts of things about a country I find fascinating. I would like to someday live in London, based on how much I found I enjoy the people who live there. "
Elizabeth B Illinois State University
"I had the best experience of my life and now that's it's over i am extremely sad, i miss my friends terribly, but all the fun and love i experienced is worth tenfold the pain i feel now. I learned so much about other countries their their social and educational systems, it makes it hard to want to move back to such as this one. ..."
Jamie A Western Washington University
"Every experience is worthwhile. I learned self-reliance, independence, and self-confidence. If I had to do it over again, I would research the program options more thoroughly before committing."
Heidi B Capital University
"Absolute worthwhile. There will always be minor complaints, but the people I met and the experiences I had far outweighed these. I feel way more culturally aware, in a way one can only be after experiencing another culture for an extended period of time. I have always wanted to spend more time learning in Europe, and this pro..."
Lindsey M Truman State University

"It was an amazing experience! I met some amazing people and I have memories that will last a lifetime. There are so many people in the world and the opportunity to get to know people from all kinds of backgrounds was a great experience.

"I gained a new sense of self, and learned to appreciate things at home. "
Katherine S Illinois State University
"My experience was amazing and I would never trade it for the world. I gained independence, confidence, and a new view of the world. I'm more open to try new things and more relaxed when things don't work out. "
Courtney L Illinois State University
"Dublin is an amazing city filled with so many amazing individuals and opportunities. ACD was no exception. The campus, staff, and students all contributed in making my study abroad experience the best. I am confident it will do the same for any study abroad students that choose to attend one of the many programs they offer. "
Nadine G University of Phoenix
"Being in Japan and making Japanese friends were incredible. I learned that the American way of life is not the only one, and it is perhaps not the best one. I learned to take more risks, and I gained a surprising amount of self-confidence. "
Max P Illinois State University
"Yes, I was able to climb out of my comfort zone and gain more life skills (such as cooking and travelling on my own)."
Joanna W Wellesley College
"great times. great people. great food."
TheDude Illinois State University
"I am considering attending grad school now, just so I can have a reason to return to Europe. I have traveled before, but this just confirmed that I need to do it more. I have made the best friends here and I will never be content sitting in my room in the US again."
Katie S Illinois State University
"I learned a lot about myself and others. "
Deema S Illinois State University
"This experience was one that I will never forget. There is never another time in your life that you are able to leave your own country and explore so many others in such a short period of time. Not even many adults can say that they've been to Italy or Spain, let alone left the country! I have made lifelong friends from this exp..."
Jill J Illinois State University
"This was the best decision of my life. I'm so happy with my experience. I encourage other to go to Hong Kong"
