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 gained a lot more independence, from having to cook all my own meals to navigating through places I had never been to alone. I also found it valuable to practice finding community in a place where you know no one. I think my time abroad was absolutely worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about Alaskan marine life and the lifestyle that comes with living in Alaska. I gained a lot of self confidence in being more independent and not rely on my normal, comforting social spheres. I believe it was worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"I gained an appreciation for ecotourism, a love for exploration of nature and different cultures. It was worth while too as it helped me develop as an independent traveler."
A student Saint Leo University
"I gained a lot of experience living in a new country and learning how to deal with difficult situations. Yes I loved getting to study abroad "
A student Wellesley College
"I believe I mainly gained independence and a willingness to try new things through my semester abroad. "
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a lot of newfound self confidence in multiple areas of my life. One large thing I learned is if people do not make effort into spending time with you, its pointless to waste time hoping they will when you can go find people who will appreciate you."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I've always been a pretty independent person, but I feel like going abroad helped further develop my independence and confidence regarding issues like travel planning and solo travel. Furthermore, Ireland has such a wide range of natural beauty and landscape. Being able to travel around the country and see it all was a price..."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I gained exposure to European culture, however mostly anything gained was from my personal endeavors and not what the program had to offer. I will say I did enjoy the European Healthcare course though and it’s excursions. "
A student Wellesley College
"I got to experience an entirely different academic system. While it was incredibly challenging to acclimate to this new environment, I think that I managed quite successfully in the end. Not only am I proud at overcoming initial challenges, but I appreciate the small-class environment of Middlebury so much more now! I'm so excit..."

"I gained a lot more confidence in myself. It was worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"I was able to travel all over Europe and experience living in a new country/city. Although I felt that a lot could have been improved about the education aspect of my time abroad, I overall really enjoyed being in London and being abroad for a semester. "

"Extremely worthwhile "
Chloe Tucker Wellesley College
"Not really. "
A student Wellesley College
"I had a great time in Manchester and learned a lot about a) how I learn b) British culture and c) the type of institution I prefer. I loved getting to know other people, exploring a new city, and the opportunity to travel around Europe. I also got to explore new classes and subjects that aren't available at Wellesley. It was abs..."
Alexandra Saueressig Wellesley College
"I improved my critical thinking and writing skills by writing 2 essays each week and discussing my argument with a tutor. I learned about other cultures and countries. I learned that food is as much a nourishment activity as a social one. I realized the joy of learning from reading books—in print. "
Justine Huang Wellesley College
"I learned that other schools do things different from Wellesley so we don't have to take things we don't like about Wellesley at face value because we can try to change them, because other schools are doing it. I.e. a more active college government, more active social life and activist culture"
A student Wellesley College
"Navigating other cultures, exploration"

Abigail Taylor Eastern Illinois University
"I learned to be far more independent than before -- I was living on my own with other UCL students as flatmates, cooking for myself, figuring out everything... And meeting so many new people from all over the world really helped me develop a global perspective. Some of my classes were really interesting and helped pique new inte..."
