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
"Definitely worth while. The experience of meeting new people and making new friends in a foreign land is an exceptional experience and I'm making plans to do it again!"
Kelli S City College of San Francisco
"Like the cliche I chose above, at first I was a tourist and saw what i expected in my head before I came, but later I became the traveler, I learned to see the negative and positive, the reality of a city, and the daily life in another country. It taught me so much about the world, it opened my mind. It has made me more restless..."
Courtney S Illinois State University
"Two major and new understandings: 1. Though Asians may look different, we aren't that different generally. 2. The Asian continent is actually very well developed that I had ever imagined. My experience abroad had impacted my academic interest particularly in the area of peace-making. I realized practically how that more pea..."
Omowunmi S Berea College
"Absolutely. I gained global perspective, and an entirely new skill and knowledge set which I am confident will set me apart for the rest of my life. "
Michael K Illinois State University
"Yes, I am more culturally and geographically aware and I have the "travel bug"- I want to see everything now! I am more independent and able to do things more easily now because I have overcome some of my shyness. I am also very comfortable getting around strange cities now, when before I would have been very timid and not will..."
Kaitlyn W Illinois State University

Laura W Illinois State University
"The Thai economy is coming into its own. They are a very entrepreneurial country and offer many business opportunities for the eager young professional. Chulalongkorn University's graduate school (SASIN)is highly respected and fully accredited, and might be a nice place to continue one's studies."
Joel K University of Hawaii - Manoa

Ellen J University of Wisconsin - Stout
"I gained a new understanding of myself. I made incredible friends that are located throughout the globe. I became aware that America would always be home to me and that I like the culture/outlook on life that Americans have."
Cassandra H Nebraska Wesleyan University
"Absolutely, I wanted to stay for the year. I made many friends and saw places I would not have been able to see. I also really learned to budget and balance my money."
Vickey C Goucher College
"I just want to do more because I now know what's possible. I want to learn, i want to teach, I want to have fun, I want to work, I want to meet people, I want to spend time with the people I know."
Kyleena L University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Going to South Africa was one of the best experiences of my life, I learned alot and met a lot of great people. It was definitely worth while I got all i expected plus some from this experience. I dont really think any amount of words can do it justice. It was just amazing! "
Khrystyna P St. Cloud State University
"I feel I have a better understanding of what it's like to be a foreigner. I learned new phrases and how some words mean different things. I learned to have a wider understanding of other people and their culture. "
Jordan S Longwood University
"Beyond my disappointment with the program and the homestay situation, the experience itself was invaluable. If my opportunity to live in a foreign country had to be via this program, so be it. Going abroad and adapting to a different lifestyle is life changing and would choose to do it all over again the same way if I had no o..."
Danielle M The University of Texas at Austin
"definitely worthwhile"
Anthony K University of Maryland - College Park
"General global outlook improved as did understanding of cultural interactions and "why things are the way they are." It just opens the world. Meeting people, even while travelling, is incredibly enriching and provides lots of good conversation and future travelling possibilities. Basically it all just confirmed my love for La..."
Eric V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes! I came back almost fully fluent with a new understanding of a completely separate culture from my own."
Alyssa E Rollins College
"I have gone through all the stages of culture shock. I have seen with my eyes the differences in culture and business between various countries. During my stay, China, Japan, and Korea have been in great turmoils and seeing the impact of such events taught me a lot about sensitivity to global awareness. This experience had more ..."
Kelly K University of Hawaii - Manoa
"It was worthwhile in the sense that it showed me why I love being an American."
Annette V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I'll be honest though-- since I obviously looked like a foreigner, I did often feel self-conscious and somewhat frustrated/angry by the stares (and sometimes different treatment) I received compared to my Korean (or Korean-looking) friends. But it definitely opened my eyes, and I feel like a ..."
