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, International Summer Schools, Turkey, and Slovakia.
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 learned alot about people outside of America. While living with different people from different countries, I was able to get wellrounded experience. "
Boone K Frostburg State University
"Yes"
Daniel G Salem State College
"Yes."
Andrew R DePauw University
"Absolutely."
Cara H University of Hartford
"Yes. As cliche as it sounds, I truly feel much more independent from it. It was an opportunity to meet the types of people that I never would have met before. I now have a better understanding of how other cultures view Americans, and how other cultures view themselves, which is quite a bit different than what I expected. All..."
Anna S Illinois State University
"I got my foot in the door to some fantastic Master's programs - and an offer of employment. This is a great place for networking."
Kelsey Rio B Roger Williams University
"Yes. "
Sarah T DePauw University
"Yes because I learned a lot about myself, living in a city and also about my area of study (art). I could not have learned what I did while staying at school because it is such a sheltered bubble here. I feel more capable and mature because of the experience."
Alexa K DePauw University
"YES. Study Abroad was completely worthwhile and it gave me so much confidence in myself. I can now navigate the winding streets of Istanbul and traveling by myself taught me that it is okay to be alone and how that being alone can enhance an experience. Not that traveling with others isn't super fun, but when you are alone yo..."

Lisa P DePauw University
"My plans for the future have not changed much. I just built on all my previous plans. Now I have been encouraged to go over seas in the future to use my speech pathology skills to bring medical attention to those who suffer. I also have started making friend with international student at our school. I have also become more confi..."
Melissa B Illinois State University
"TOTALLY worthwhile. It was something that completely changed my life, made me a more confident and well-rounded person and made me a much more independent woman who is not afraid to do what I want!"
Victoria H Illinois State University
"I learned more then I could imagine in my study abroad experience. I learned about myself, immersed myself in Taiwanese culture, made lots of friends, saw a lot of interesting places, improved my language skills, ate very good and unique food, and learned about interacting with people of different cultures."
Shang Y Illinois State University
"Yes, definitely. Not only did I have the amazing opportunity to see a bit of Europe, experience the rich culture, and practice my German, I also learned a lot about my self. It was a marvelous time of reflection for me. I learned what my limits are, and I got close to my host family. "
Julie T Illinois State University
"From studying abroad, I learned that I have very capable of being independent and taking care of myself. I also was forced to step out of my comfort zone, and at first I was very nervous of this, but after the initial shock I found it very easy to open up to the Belgians and try to incorporate myself into their culture. My study..."
Mary M Birmingham-Southern College
"It was worthwhile to learn Spanish. That was my main goal and immersion is necessary to achieve that goal. It definitely made me realize that I hold some prejudices that I did not even know I could have. It was also a good respite from the rigors of Wellesley. It worked with my budget as well. "
Dorthea D Wellesley College
"The program itself and it's personnel are superb. I just didn't like my too easy courses and didn't "click" with my host family. But it was worthwhile, and the excursions were a great learning experience for me. "
Jacqueline M Wellesley College
"It gave me new insights into the Japanese culture as well as my own. The friends that I've made and the things that I have learned here will stick with me for life."
Alyssa S Central Washington University
"Undoubtedly the most worthwhile experience of my life. Egypt is a fantastic place! I absolutely loved my time abroad, and I wish I were still there. I feel very connected to Egypt, I made long-lasting friendships. I am right there with the Egyptians during their protests (in spirit, clearly), and would never feel so strongly if ..."
Sana S Wellesley College
"I learned so much about myself as an individual from my study abroad experience. Not only am I more confident in myself and my abilities but I'm more open-minded to new things. Studying abroad really opened my eyes as to how much is really out there and how much more there is to see. "
Jenna G Central Michigan University
