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
"How to live on my own, cook, buy and sell a car, explore new places "
A student Middlebury College
"Overall, I do not regret attending this program. It was not the extremely exciting and life-changing experience that some students report from study abroad experiences. It felt like a realistic experience. Ups and downs during and reflecting. "
Allyson Mollett Berea College
"I learned to identify the vast majority of the macroscopic things living on Svalbard including plants, invertebrates, birds and, of course foxes and reindeer. The opportunity to live in and study in the arctic was rare and unique - not something I could have done if I hadn't gone or likely will have an opportunity to do again - ..."

"interact with not only chinese people, but people from all over the world!"
Allan Middlebury College
"I gained a lot of experience living in a foreign country where you do not speak the local language and need to adapt to different customs and social standards. It was entirely worthwhile and still have not stopped talking about it. "
Emily Tran Wellesley College
"Worthwhile because it rekindled my love of America by making me experience a different country."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned more about living as an independent person, especially living in a small city; there was an emphasis on exploration and discovery that I often had to do while on my own. While there were ups and downs, the experience was definitely worth while. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was really challenging in the beginning but working through it was really good for me. Saw the same experience in friends"
A student Middlebury College
"It was definitely worthwhile. "
Monique Santoso Middlebury College
"I learned how to function largely on my own without the safety net of my support systems from home and from Wellesley. While certainly worthwhile, my own mental preparation was lacking and detracted from my experience. However, I learned a lot about myself and my priorities. As a result of my study abroad experience, I have beco..."

"I gained a lot of self confidence, personal awareness, knowledge about what I have to do and what I'm willing to do to stay fit and healthy, and a general idea of what I may want to do with my life. "
A student Middlebury College
"Greater variety of courses"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned more about Irish culture and history and found my experience to be very worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"It was interesting to see how big universities run classes. It was also interesting to be in a co-ed school. My instructors were really excellent. I wish that they classes had met more often so I could've learned a bit more. "
Margaret Olmsted Wellesley College
"I have always had a fascination for London, so I was definitely living my dream of living in London. I got to explore the city and also travel in the country. I made several really good friends. I was introduced to a lot of new academic ideas that have definitely impacted my current academic interests. I also really liked the di..."
Manvi Chaudhary Wellesley College
"I had a good time in London, lots of art galleries, plays, musicals. Loved that. Also London is very student friendly, there are a lot of student discounts. UCL was fine but did not quite meet my expectation."
A student Wellesley College
"It was worthwhile still. I learned a lot about Hungary and different European cultures. "
A student University of Denver
"I learned how to live in a new culture and try to speak a new language. "
A student Wellesley College
"Learned about cultures and the social pressures for people all over the world. Completely worth it."
Dalia Weinstein Brandeis University
"I learned so much about myself socially and academically. I grew so much and 100% believe that it was a worthwhile experience."
A student Wellesley College
"I was able to see a lot of art in person which directly relates to my major, and was able to grow academically by engaging with a new style of education."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to be more independent since I had to live by myself (with other suite mates), cook for myself, and take responsibility for my own schedule. I also learned a lot in my classes at SOAS which I never would have learned at Wellesley. "
Shrutikona Das Wellesley College
"It was incredibly worthwhile. I learned different languages, traveled, made friends, and worked on the side at Fashion Week. I loved AUP, Paris and the friends I made along the way."
Anonymous American University of Paris
"I definitely improved on my Spanish skills, which was one of my main goals. I also understood the culture a lot more and was able to experience so much outside of what I am used to. "
A student Butler University
"It was worthwhile. I learned new skills in my major. "
