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 absolutely amazing from the perspective of the classes to the students you meet "
Rahul S The University of Texas at Austin
"It was by far the best, most satisfying, most fun, absolutely incredible experience of my life. I met some of the best people I'll ever know down there, not to mention a great girl who I am striving to get back to! QRO is a great city, Tecnologico de Monterrey is a beautiful, excellent university where you will feel like home, a..."
Owen S Nebraska Wesleyan University
"A resounding "yes." Of three such programs, this was the best I ever attended. Host family and university were very friendly and helpful. Cultural and travel opportunities abound. Food is great! Located in a very historical area of Mexico. The overall experience has greatly helped my ability to communicate in Spanish and g..."

"I know it is the cliché, but I really discovered parts of myself while abroad. I always wanted to go to Sweden as a dream, and now I have done it. "
William H The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I understand a bit more about how people interact and I also became more knowledgeable of myself. It has impacted my future plans because while before it was a shadowy possibility, I now want to return to the U.K. and will be applying for jobs there. After going abroad for a year, I know that I ..."
Sarika N Wellesley College
"It was definitely worth while. I was able to overcome challenges I wasn't sure I would be able to overcome."
Leah B Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. Being able to focus my attention solely on Arabic improved my language skills a lot, and the direct exposure to North African culture helped me to see just a hint of the diversity of what we call the Arab world. Living in part of the 'Islamic world' which i've been told repeatedly is "just so diff..."
Jim I The College of William and Mary
"I met amazing people and was able to learn about and experience parts of the world I had previously only read about. Scotland is beautiful and fascinating and I would certainly do it over again."
Sarah P Tulane University
"It was a great experience and a much needed break from Wellesley! I met so many interesting people... it really made me aware of how people perceive me as an American as well. Personally, I think it made me even more mature and much more calm. Hopefully, I can keep that when I go back to Wellesley. I also studied at King's t..."
Rebecca A Wellesley College
"COMPLETELY worthwhile. The only negative aspect is how miserable Tulane is... in two ways. Tulane was miserable to work with to send me abroad and miserable to give me credits from after I studied. Besides that - go to Malta!"
Mary C Tulane University
"Languages and traveling are probably two of my favorite things in life so I absolutely had the time of my life studying abroad and am making plans to return (hopefully to live) as soon as possible. Madrid is a great city for making new friends and trying new things. During my time in Spain I explored cultural differences and the..."
Julie E Clark University
"Yes study abroad was worth while. I learned there language even thou i am not that good yet i enjoyed it. I gained many different views from Fukuoka. And not a single negative thought. They would always be positive. The only thing I can probably say is in this program you learn a lot and the Japanese teachers are really nice and..."
oriana s New Mexico State University
"Simply Put I loved it, period........."
nimaan a University of Northern Colorado
"It made me totally aware of culture from a new perspective"
steven k SUNY - Binghamton
"Yes it was worth while."
Reuben d SUNY - Binghamton
"From my study abroad experience, I took away the experience of independence as well as a greater appreciation for America and my friends and family. I believe my Spanish did improve but not as much as I had hoped it would. Spain is not a country I would like to visit again or live in. My cultural awareness has changed from all t..."
Tulane T Tulane University
"I lived completely independently. I had an apartment with wonderful flatmates, did my own grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning. I could walk anywhere I wanted to go. I could travel the world with my friends - Europe was right at our back door. It was the most freeing experience I have ever had. "
Courtney R Tulane University
"It was worth while. I learned so much from the culture and everything else. This experience will last me a lifetime"
Lamar S SUNY - Binghamton
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself as well as various cultures of the world."
Solomon W The University of Texas at Austin
"It was so worth while. I've learned so much about another country, another culture as well as about myself and my country. It gives you such perspective to view your own country from the eyes of a different country. I loved every minute of it, and I would do it all over again in a heart beat. "
Karen B Shenandoah University
"The experience in Korea was an eye opener for me because Seoul was a whole another world from Japan or Hawaii. Not being able to speak the language made my life difficult at times but those moments were important for me as a student. Seeing Korean culture and spending time with Korean people was definitely one of the most extrao..."
nyika t University of Hawaii - Manoa
"it was definitely worthwhile to be there in this setting: I met a lot of great people and had many great experiences because of it. However, because of this exchange program I will have to do another semester of school. "
christine k The University of Texas at Austin
"YES YES YES!!! I came to understand a lot about myself and I feel much more confident now in social and travel situations because of my time abroad. I also gained a different perspective on America by discussing the US with people from other countries. I formed lasting friendships and hope to be able to return soon to visit. Als..."
Sylvia B Augsburg College
"Having met many Korean people prior to this trip, this experience has helped me better understand those people's native culture and identity. This thus allows me to better relate myself to those people and its cultures abroad. Nevertheless, this hasn't affected my academic interests or plans for the future. "
Ya Chiang Jon F Trinity University
"Besides that one biology course. My experience was amazing. I wasn't there only for class and the atmosphere was great, the people were friendly and the experience was priceless. Definitely something I would do again."
Samantha V The University of Texas at Austin
