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
"My study abroad experiences were most definitely worthwhile. They gave me the travel bug and I went on to do more traveling to more countries after my study abroad trips. They gave me the confidence to dive right into a new country and a new culture and make the most out of it."
Rachael T Johnson & Wales University
"Yes. Even though I was in Taiwan, I also go to see other cultures from all the other international students. Because I am a friend-oriented person, having friends from all over the world was quiet an experience."
Shawn F Illinois State University
"Yes."
Jessica L San Jose State University
"Absolutely. There are many cultural differences to work through, but I learned so much about myself and others that I'm so blessed for this opportunity. "
Alana N Wellesley College
"From language development to cultural understanding, from weekend travels to intellectual growth, this experience was worthwhile. "
Devin B The College of William and Mary
"Extremely worthwhile. Now I really want to return and travel more. I am now considering teaching English in Spain for a year after I graduate."
Alice P Presbyterian College

Terri C The College of William and Mary
"I gained a deeper understanding of many cultural backgrounds."
Emily M University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh

Ashley M Wartburg College

Hannah M Illinois State University
"It was so worth it. I learned so much about myself and life, that I never would have learned without this experience. I am so grateful for all of it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
Megan S Illinois State University
"I think a warmer place might have been nicer, but I also really appreciated going to Sweden so it's tough to say if I'd change where I went. I did really like the experience though, the people were great although they don't think so (I like how they were humble). There were also some great traditions there that were really fun..."
Bennett P University of Rochester
"Absolutely, studying abroad was the best thing I have done. I learned more about myself in those 7 months than I would have ever thought possible and I experienced the best semester of my life!"
Giselle Z The University of Texas at Austin
"Most definitely. I now know that I need to live in a large city full of history. I know what kind of people I want to be friends with in the future. I have friends all over Europe and am much more aware about politics and cultural interplay. "
Sam12 Wellesley College
"While I had a great time in Chile, it was not the challenging experience that I had hoped for and to some extent expected. I ate a lot of good food, drank a lot of good beer, and made a lot of good friends, but if I were to do it again I would look for a program in Peru, Bolivia or Columbia. That's just my preference, though; ..."
Jeff C Western Washington University
"I am more confident in my choice of major. I am a double major, and at first I was wondering which one I should focus on in terms of finding work in the future, but now I know that I want to do Neuroscience or at least something related to Biology. I also learned the importance of patience and planning, and several other life le..."

"It was worth every penny."
Greta T St. Cloud State University
"Yes, my french vastly improved and I met many new and interesting people. It hasn't changed my academic plan, although I would like to be able to travel more in the future. I feel as if I have a better understanding of the french people- you can't reach the same level of understanding by studying France from a classroom in Ameri..."
Madeline P Tulane University
"Of course, I think that everyone should live abroad at least once in their life. "

Katie S Wellesley College
"I went into the experience as a blank slate--not really knowing what to expect but it turned out amazing and I wouldn't change a thing. I would like to take ALL THE TURKISH FOOD back to the USA!"
