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
"I advanced in my language tenfold, and it was because I forced myself into situations where I would make friends and speak the language. I gained so many friends that I will surely stay in contact with and want to come visit me and vice versa. "
Dante Jadin St. Norbert College
"I learned friendship skills, how to be more confident in myself, how to be okay with trying new foods, and more of the Spanish language! Everything was worthwhile there."
Avery Norris Eastern Illinois University
"Barely anything. Not worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"Learned how to live on my own"
A student Middlebury College
"Oxford's academics trained me to improve my time management skills. Other than the once-a-week tutorials, I was completely on my own and had to strategically pace myself."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot in terms of widening my perspective globally, but also personally, as studying abroad gives you many chances to reflect and enjoy the moment (as you have less responsibilities and stress). It was definitely worthwhile as I learned a lot about myself and would do it all over again. "
A student Brandeis University
"Yes, i learned how to live independently and mix with people from cultures other than my own."
A student Brandeis University
"I was worthwhile indeed. I can't be more happy with the results. After 3 months of learning Spanish in an Intensive rhythm, I'm now able to hold any type of conversation. I had prior knowledge with the language, but never experienced this methodology. "
Charlotta Freij International University in Geneva
"Living abroad was a great experience. London is an incredible and diverse city."

A student Middlebury College
"I gained a lot more confidence in myself in multiple areas. I gain more confidence in myself in traveling, in being more independent, and in a working environment since I had an internship. I am so glad I decided to study abroad, it was more than worthwhile. "
Rachel Kurtenbach Bethany Lutheran College
"It’s the best choice I have made "

Corinne Berger Ariel University
"I learned what it's like to live in another country! I learned the struggles of trying to learn and adapt to a new way of living. I think it was more than worthwhile, especially in today's world. I had a taste of what it might be like to be an immigrant, and I now feel a sense of empathy for those who move to the U.S."
Kalina Jurkowski Cottey College

"One of the most beneficial experiences was our class trip to London, as I not only got see a plethora of art and venues, but got to understand some underlying components to the art world, as well as how art is viewed/valued in other cultures. "
A student Middlebury College
"Yes, it was worthwhile. I learned a lot."
Gabriel Falcini dos Santos Universidad Estadual De Campinas - UNICAMP
"My Spanish improved immensely. I went from being a Spanish major that could only read, write, and listen, and hardly speak, to someone that could actually hold a conversation by the end of the program. I made life-long friends and I still see some here in Spain. I´ve stayed two years after the program and am living now with two ..."
Erin Glayzer SUNY - Stony Brook
"I gained a tremendous love for a place which I now consider to be a second home of sorts. The most impactful moments for me were those spent outside of the classroom where I got to explore some of the most amazing urban and natural spaces on the planet. Sydney is just such a stunningly beautiful place it's hard to not fall in lo..."

"There are literally too many things that I learned from my time abroad to list them here but one critical thing I think I learned was the ability to engage with people of all different backgrounds and have conversations. As simple as that sounds, it's not as easy as one might think because people are offended and interested in m..."
