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 experience was absolutely worthwhile. I wish I could do it again! I now know that there are places in the world that are care-free and happy, and that's where I want to be."
Emily M SUNY - Binghamton
"Study abroad was definitely worthwhile experience for me. The whole experience I went through not only with the school but also with diversity of international people really brought me change in life and future plans. Be honest, I learned a lot more from traveling and going through new cultural events and people than taking art ..."
Sun Duck O Maryland Institute College of Art

Dias M SUNY - Binghamton

Marissa T University of Hawaii - Manoa
"My study abroad experience was amazing, I learnt so much from my classes and my classmates."
Salma M Wellesley College
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile! Living in a culture different from one I'm used to takes patience and an open mind because there is a difference in priorities, attitudes, way of life, values and customs. There is a lot to see, learn and appreciate."
Ka Yu C State U
"More than anything, my time in England allowed me to break out of my comfort zone and experience something new. I have never tried so many new things as I did while abroad. Whether it was learning how to tell how a "true" Sussex blue cheese should taste, participating in a real English pub quiz, or taking the train to a new city..."
Hannah M University of Colorado - Boulder
"I learned so much, I got a chance to interact not only with local students but also with students from all around the world! I saw things in different perspectives and learn how to see things from other people's eyes. I learn that there are so many people out there that thing similar to me just in different languages and differe..."
Daniel C Indiana University of Pennsylvania
"Completely. So far it has been the highlight of my college experience. I became completely ingrained in another culture, met the most amazing life-long friends, and became inspirited to continue to step out of my zone of comfort. "
Sarah A Wellesley College
"The experience was definitely worthwhile, but it was something that I did not fully appreciate until I was back in the United States, and I wish that I had done more with my time abroad. "
Jason I Trinity University
"I would do it all over again in a heartbeat."
Kerry T SUNY - Binghamton
"I felt like the educational program was inferior to my own university. I was concerned about graduating on time, which is why I chose an English university over a German university, although I did know some German. I would not have done this again. Some courses didn't transfer over anyway! And really, London is the most expensiv..."
Charley Carthage College
"Though I live in Korea, it was fascinating to meet college students. It was a chance to observe their perspective on society, life, and culture. They were understanding and accepting, and I felt welcomed. "
Lorraine S Wellesley College
"I fell in love with Edinburgh. It is an old and gray and strange city, but I never found it to be depressing, even in the extended winter darkness. It was steeped in history in a way that I found endlessly fascinating. This is a love I'll take with me for the rest of my life. After studying abroad in the UK for one semester, I'm..."
Elizabeth A Barnard College
"I loved it. It changed me for sure. I am more mature now, more self confident. I now know that I can go to another country without being fluent in the language, and travel/make friends. It also gives you a better perspective on the world. I think these are common reactions to going abroad, but they are true."
A student
"My experiences abroad were incredible. If I could do it all over again, I would. My language skills improved exponentially, which is what I hoped would happen. "
Sarah V Wartburg College
"Ugh so many questions look at my other responses for an answer to this. But while I am at it... It would be very easy to look at the wording of some of my responses and think "Oh there's a kid who went and hang with friends, partied and danced his way through the semester in Ireland" Well for someone who had never been to part..."
Ryan D Maryland Institute College of Art
"I am going back to Australia for graduate studies. It is an amazing country!"
Pembrooke W Parsons School of Design
"Matured, became more culturally aware, learned how to balance work and play."
Anagha V Wellesley College
"Extremely worthwhile. I learned so much in every aspect. My spanish speaking skills are improved, I learned things about myself that I wasn't even aware I should learn, I know I can make it on my own, I realize my place in this world a little bit better. "
Alyssa K Wartburg College
"Never miss the chance to have an adventure. You never know what you may find! I went to St. Andrews with high hopes and though the first few weeks were a tough adjustment, I eventually found people who remain dear friends still, four years later. My abroad experience impacted me to such an extent that I am now persuing my doctor..."
Ashley P State U

Andrew S Tufts University
"Absolutely worth it. AIU is an up-and-coming institution in Japan, and the local students are incredibly supportive and intelligent."
