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
"Looking back, I should have spent more time paging through books or hitting the stacks. Although I didn’t make the dean’s list or honor roll, I would say that studying abroad is the best place I’ve ever taken my academic career, but largely for extracurricular reasons. The freest schedule that I’ve ever had coupled with the m..."
Victoria E Berea College
"Worthwhile indeed! I went to France in order to find independence in my life and to prove to myself that I can be uprooted from my life here and live on my own. I found independence and I learned so much more about the culture than any textbook could teach me! I learned to step outside of my comfort zone and take a look around a..."
Michael M University of Northern Colorado
"The people that I met and the friends I made, whether they were part of the program or local students, made the experience worthwhile. Being open to ideas and experiences that I had not planned on, were actually what made the experience that much better. "
Janelle A University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"Studying at the University of Botswana was an incredible eye-opener. I learned a new language, met new people, and gained insight into a culture completely different from the ones I had been familiar with previously. It was unbelievable, from the food, to the music, to the misunderstandings, and more. I cannot imagine having spe..."
Katrin P University of Maryland - Baltimore County
"No change in plans or interests, but it did give me independence, patience, and improved Spanish (from traveling around Spain, not from Barcelona)"
Morgan D The University of Texas at Austin
"I absolutely adored my study abroad experience and would do it all over again in a second if I could. I gained a stronger sense of independence and confidence that I still carry with me as well as friends from Australia whom I still keep in touch with. My time in Adelaide was seriously four of the best months of my life and I ..."
sadie s The College of William and Mary
"I used to always think that I worked better under stress, I've learned here, that that is untrue. If I could go back in time to graduating high school I would have applied to ENSBA it's 500 euro a year to go there people. COME ON! My future plans are to graduate SMFA and come back to France find a simple job possibly WOOF and ..."
Margaret C SMFA - School of the Museum of Fine Arts
"I think as my trip winds down, although, I have not had the perfect study abroad experience, it has been worthwhile. I think I learned a lot about myself, and it has made me grow. "
Jean C The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad was most definitely worthwhile! I hope to study or live abroad in the future. While this was my second time studying abroad for a longer period of time, I still feel like I became more culturally aware. (My last time was in a smaller town whereas this time was in a big city.) I lived a semester as a "German stude..."
Kiira H Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I had an amazing time and have made friends with people all over the world. The time I spent in Malta was the best time of my life. I learned so much more outside of the classroom that I believe is much more important than anything I learned in school there."
Laura G Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Yes, this experience definitely got me interested in microfinance and environmental health."
Jordan T Georgia Southern University
"The best thing about studying abroad is that I was able to truthfully experience Spanish culture and my credits will look great when applying for my MBA!"
Mindie Roxanne B The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself during my time abroad. "
Dilruba P Barnard College
"i really enjoyed my experience, but i wish i would've have gone somewhere where the spoke less english. i wanted to have some more culture shock when arriving, but i really didnt experience any when arriving. "
abigail h Simmons College
"Yes it was worthwhile. I gained some cultural awareness."
Sharee A Georgia Southern University
"It was by far the best thing I could have done for myself. I'm significantly more independent and able to travel alone competently. It made me more aware of how the rest of the world views America, despite how welcoming the Welsh are. I would definitely consider living abroad sometime in the future. "
Sara G Drake University
"I'm going to include a poem for this, "The Men Who Don't Fit In," by Robert Service: There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain's crest; Thei..."
Christopher S The University of Texas at Austin
"I've come to realize how much I love the country and the culture. I am going to pursue a degree related to China and hopefully teach in the future. This semester has been rewarding on many levels for me."
Di C The University of Texas at Austin
"my study abroad expericen was worthwhile. i enjoyed classes at SNU and im glad that i became friends with local students since i might work in Korea after graduating. "
Miseung K The University of Texas at Austin
"It was more than worthwhile. It really did make me more open minded, more sure of myself and sure of what I want, more confident and more empowered. One surprising effect of learning so much about another country was that it made me more interested in my own country. Seeing a contrasting view of how another country handles thing..."
Lanna L The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abraod experience was definitely worthwhile. I tried a lot of new things in Erfurt, such as aerobics, going to museums and concerts, going to clubs and parties with my friends (I just turned 21), and socialized a lot more in Erfurt than I did with my friends at UT Austin due to the fact that it was easier to manage my t..."
Nikki K The University of Texas at Austin
"It was amazing. Not only did I love Europe but it also allowed me to feel comfortable on my own and experience what it's like to have complete freedom in a wonderful environment. "
Claire B SUNY Purchase
"My study abroad experience was, to put it simply, life changing. I found out so much about myself and grew a great deal personally. I met so many incredible people and made a few life long friends. Studying abroad in Istabul made the world seem so much smaller, and I now realize that I will be doing as much travelling as I can f..."
Max M SUNY - Binghamton
"I said no because I think I would want to go to a university that had classes that I was more interested in. As for the city, I loved Budapest and would definitely go back to the city again. I learned so much about the world and about myself, I could not have asked for a better experience. I know hope to go abroad again next ..."
Alissa K SUNY - Binghamton
"It was worthwhile because I am a more resilient and resourceful person. I had alot of time to reflect and learn about myself. Like all bad experiences you end up learning alot and growing stronger. While there were some good things, the landscape, and some friends I made, the art I pushed myself to create, on the whole it was a ..."
