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
"The experience was definitely worthwhile. Do not be afraid to not only make friends with fellow international students, but your fellow Aussie classmates as well. Meeting people from all over the world has helped my understanding of how similar we really all are and create new lifelong friendships. I thought I would pursue a..."
Jason F San Jose State University
"It was very worthwhile, and I have acquired some of the most amazing memories and stories. I still constantly talk about my trip and the trip was 3 years ago. I've gotten an in depth perspective of the day to day life of a British Business student living in Nottingham. I've been turned onto many new foods, drinks, media, cult..."
Brian K San Jose State University
"yes would do it all again"
Shannon B University of Nebraska - Kearney
"This experience completely opened my eyes to a world of possibilities. I returned with a love of Spain and Spanish people and culture, and a new perspective and love for my own country. I was able to achieve a lifelong goal of being able to speak another language on a conversational level, and now I am strongly considering a car..."
Skye M SUNY Purchase
"Studying abroad has changed my views about everything, my opinion on everything, my personality, my friends, how I view the world, etc etc etc. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the universe. I am a different, better person."
Marianne
"amazing, but not a great location--la trobe program should not be advertised as being in melbourne or it should be dropped."
Eileen H University of Rochester
"Oh gosh, I don't really like the "if you could do it all over again" question. I don't regret going, I just didn't like it. I came home with a greater appreciation for William and Mary (and America in general), and I feel like I developed a new sense of independence from my time abroad. I like all of these things."
Carolyn F The College of William and Mary
"yes, it was really helpful to experience new culture."
Pyoseong H SUNY - Binghamton
"It was worth the wait to experience being in a non-western country."
Karolyn w Saint Marys College
"The study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I created a network of friends that I would not have otherwise met. I love the city, I love the people I meet, and I love the university. The university was absolutely beautiful. I have definitely had one of the best times of my life. It was an unforgettable experience that ..."
Jia Xin H The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was very worthwhile. I would not have wanted to spend my summer any other way. My host family and the friends I made are very special people and I am glad to have met them. I had already known about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but through this program I learned about the importance of peace journa..."
Taryn T University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Yes it was. The education was not worth while in the classroom, but the life experiences were. I had a great time at the school and with all of the international people that I met. The UH Manoa business counselors are not very informed on anything so you have to go and figure out things for yourself. I had to track down people a..."
Kyle B University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Great traveling experience, and food."
Leandro V Pontificia Universidad Católica de Puerto Rico
"Yes it was, I learned that I could survive in a new culture and that I was ready to go off on my own and explore."
Marcy F Marshall University
"The University of Edinburgh provided a great experience by allowing you to determine what you wished to do while abroad. You were allowed to be as involved or uninvolved in the University activities and they put you in housing with local students. My involvement in this experience has certainly changed my perspective on life, ..."
Keith H SUNY Purchase
"France is culturally very similar to the United States. There is no culture shock. Still my cultural awareness was heightened by being able to discover the different history, goals, and political culture of the country. I also was able to learn the social problems that France and the United States share and those that are diffe..."
Danielle K University of South Dakota
"This experience was worthwhile because I fulfilled a lifelong dream, and beyond just the dream it let me change my views to like it in a different perspective after going. This makes me even more happy with my time abroad."
Jesse W Indiana University of Pennsylvania
"My cultural awareness was dramatically shaped by my abroad experience. Seeing how much of the world lives (in the 3rd world) is eye opening and an important reality check. Gaining insight in our world and personal humility were at the forefront this experience. Everyone should travel abroad, and if you come from America, it w..."
Miles R Gettysburg College
"It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot."
Christopher M Rollins College
"It was totally worthwhile. I had the time of my life. I learned about everyday life in Germany, I learned how to order food fluently. We saw a lot of the country and met several people that I would like to remain in contact with for a long time."
Stephanie M Marshall University
"It was so worth it! I have no regrets for going only regrets for not doing more while I was there. I think everyone I know that went feels the same. I have never known anyone to regret going once one gets back, but I know plenty who wish they had gone but never did."
David H The College of William and Mary
"Yes, I became more openminded about other cultures and enjoyed travelling."
Michelle A San Jose State University
"Yes, it was worthwhile. I am an engineer. I work in strict settings, it was a whole new world for me. I spent an entire year abroad, studying philosophy and sociology. Life was easy, and it was good. I catch myself smiling sometimes for no apparent reason, just letting my mind flash to memories of my time abroad. The cold ..."
Steven C Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"My experience was incredibly worthwhile and I learned to be more confident and culturally aware than I was when I arrived. I discussed politics and culture with all sorts of people and learned not to judge books by their cover. I speak French more easily now and have seen many many beautiful places because of my time abroad."
Caitlin P The University of Texas at Austin
"I can't even begin to comment. The experience changed so many things about myself and the way I currently live. Please contact me if you want to know more. I would LOVE the opportunity to go back, or encourage others to go."
Suzanne B San Jose State University
