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
"While abroad, I learned about everything from living in a new country to facts about the country's history, culture, and politics. The experience was definitely worth it!"
A student Wellesley College
"I improved my Spanish and found a new love for art history and was able to gain so much work/life experience from my internship."
Quin LIU Global
"It was worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and what I would like to do for my future just by experiencing a different culture. It opened my eyes to the differences and problems in our current world. "
Kyleah Parr Berea College
"Yes. I've become a much more independent learner."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned more about myself, how much I matured over just one semester abroad, how independent I became. Also, I learned about an amazing culture and history!"
Kayla Wendt Minnesota State University, Moorhead
"I do believe that it was worthwhile. I learned that when things change it is important to have a good support system. "
A student Berea College
"Definitely worthwhile. The 8 week term is very intensive but there is so much to gain from this experience. I became a much better writer and self-learner, which are skills that I could definitely translate to courses at my home institution. I had lots of free time due to the small amount of tutorials I was enrolled in, and I le..."
A student Wellesley College
"I had a very well-rounded experience from St. Anne's in regards to my education, social life, and cultural awareness. I feel that I am now more prepared to handle challenging courses at Wellesley thanks to the preparation Oxford has given me in becoming a more independent, proactive learner. In terms of my social life, I was abl..."
A student Wellesley College
"I got a rare experience of not being stressed out all the time. In addition I gained a lot from my indigenous studies course. I also got really involved in the outdoors club and experienced new outdoor activities that I will continue to do forever."
A student Middlebury College
"I gained exposure to a different academic and social environment, developed a greater interest in my field of study, and left with greater appreciation for my home institution."
A student Wellesley College
"I was able to take graduate level courses and learned a lot. There weren't a lot of academic resources available since the tutorial system encourages self-teaching and there are fewer resources online for grad level courses. However, it was nice to be able to take classes covering content not typically covered in undergrad cours..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot in my classes but I also learned how to live independently and take care of myself in a foreign country. During my time abroad, I got to travel around Scotland and to other European countries. From my travels, I have found that Scotland, and Edinburgh in particular, has such a distinct culture and vibe from citie..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about myself and my own personal growth while being truly on my own. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to deal with a sex offender abroad. "
A student Wellesley College
"Yes! I thought it was very worthwhile. I learned how to balance work/life which was very cathartic. I feel like I was always stressed out at Wellesley and all I could ever think about was school. I think when you live on campus and you're constantly surrounded by people who also live and attend the same school and classes as you..."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a broader perspective on a different style of learning and into the British educational system. I learned independence and adaptability. I learned how to teach myself difficult content. From all of this, I have also gained a lot of confidence which I will take with me into future courses and endeavours. I would defin..."
A student Wellesley College
"I felt like I learned how to live on my own in a city environment. I also learned a lot from my flatmates about how this experience differed from their experience in their home countries. I also liked being able to take classes in subjects that weren't offered at my home university."
A student Wellesley College
"Yes, very worthwhile. I learned how to balance work/life which at my home university is very hard. Living separated from school helped a lot in regards to that, as well as not being constantly surrounded by other stressed students. "
A student Wellesley College
"I gained insights and abilities to make change and help others, which is something that I will always keep with me. "
Blake Turpin University of Tennessee - Knoxville
"The experience was definitely worthwhile. I gained a new confidence in myself, I learned how to adapt, and I learned how to deal with living with difficult people. I also have a whole new appreciation for home and being close to my family. "
Meghan Bedard The College of New Jersey
"Australia was completely different from what I expected. It was worthwhile to have an experience that was weirdly similar to the US but also very different in unexpected ways."
A student Wellesley College
"I did learn some studying skills that I did not have in my home institution because the learning style is just so different. I also got to take some electives I couldn't have taken in my institution. I also enjoyed being able to travel in the UK. In that sense it was fun and worthwhile, but I was very disappointed with how the..."
A student Middlebury College
"Definitely worthwile"
Sophia K Wellesley College
"I learned about the many social issues that affect both the United States and UK in different ways, as well as how to discuss them with people from so many walks of life. It was worthwhile in every aspect, and allowed me to become much more comfortable with new experiences and places."
Jakob Schmall San Diego State University
"I gained a love for Greek culture. Their lifestyle is something I loved and something I try to bring back into my life in America. They taught me to stop and smell the gyros...or however the saying goes."
A student Iowa State University
