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 gained a stronger sense of independence. I also gained the confidence to know that I can meet new people and just join a new culture. I loved the English style of "reading around the subject" because it allowed me to pick which areas of the course I was most interested in and it held me accountable for my own work. "
Tara M Providence College
"I benefitted much from being on my own, having to handle situations I have never been in before, and getting to know students who live a very different life."
Caroline H The University of Texas at Austin
"I still think about to this very day! Yes it was worthwhile!"
Christina B University of North Texas
"Going to Strasbourg was amazing and I would choose Strasbourg all over again! I loved being able to spritually grow at Eglise Baptiste de Strasbourg. I loved learning French and being able to walk to Germany! I believe the best time to study abroad in Strasbourg is the Fall semester because the Christmas decorations are the best..."
Amanda H Oral Roberts University
"This program was a better experience than I could have ever imagined. I made lifelong friends, lived in a posh, 17th century, central apartment with three other American girls. My classes were amazing, and my spare time was spent exploring the city solo or with my roommates and our friends. We also took trips out of the city on ..."

Thomas F University of Connecticut
"I had never doubted myself before, but I know for a fact that Japan is the place where I want to live for the rest of my life with a career, family, kotatsu, and all the katsudon I can eat. Japan has made me a better person: cleaner, greener, and far more polite than any American I've ever met. You will be surprised when you r..."
Arcadia K Gustavus Adolphus College
"Yes. I've met people that I now consider my best friends. I've traveled all over Europe and ventured into Africa. I've pursued academic and personal dreams. Ask yourself when you will ever have an opportunity again in your life to spend the better part of a year away from your work, school, and family. Don't waste that oppo..."

Nathan S Illinois State University
"I think the personal growth that I gained from my study abroad experience was the most worthwhile aspect. By studying abroad, I was opened to so many oppurtunites in dance that I didn't know even existed. Studying abroad encouraged me to push my growing edge as a academic student and as a dancer. I'm very grateful for the benefi..."

Karianne G Wellesley College
"I gained so much that there is not even words to describe my experience. I loved my professors, host family, and everyday experience in Chile. I felt like I could live a normal life, and sometimes that I would forget that I was even abroad - I was meant to study abroad in Chile."
