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
"This may be cliche, but I learnt how to be independent. My Korean language proficiency was poor, I didn't know anyone, and I haven't been to Korean before. It was daunting (I almost backed out after I reached Incheon airport haha) but I'm glad I pulled through. Another thing I gained was friendship. Maintaining long-distance fri..."

A student Chinese University of Hong Kong / CUHK
"I had the opportunity to make, hopefully, lifelong friends with people with whom i thought I had nothing in common with. And I also met some not so amazing people, but they all gave me incredible experiences that i wouldn't change for anything. They all taught me so many things about the world and about myself and that is pricel..."

"100% worth it because I met a lot of people from Seoul that I am in contact with still and I realized that my Korean is actually good and almost fluent.

"I learned so much from the people I met, the courses I took, the places I went, and the experiences I had.

This experience was worth every penny and every minute I spent ..."

"i've learnt to be more independent, definitely worthwhile!"
Jolene Sng National University of Singapore / NUS
"I gained not only a beginner's working knowledge of Korean, but also an insight into Korean culture and an idea of how America is viewed in Korea. I also discovered two new favorite foods in the restaurants of Anam! This program was indescribably worthwhile for me, both as a student and as an American citizen. "
Emma Russell University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"I think besides learning more about Korea, one of my biggest takeaways is what I learned about myself. I found that I was capable of travelling on my own, planning itineraries, finding my way around a country I had only been to once before. I even had a good experience speaking to locals - once, I had an ahjumma kindly ask me to..."

"I learnt a lot for the exchange experience. I joined the four weeks program in Korea University which is one of the best university in Korea and its international summer campus is even one of the best in Asia. It was a definitely fruitful experience for me. First, the high quality lectures enhanced our knowledge and skills. We ..."

Josiah Denson Ohio Northern University
"I'm just really grateful with the school. I spent seven amazing weeks learning Spanish since that was something I had always wanted to do. The teachers are just incredible, very patient and kind.

Yichen Gao University of Leeds
"I learned how to navigate public transportation on my own and I got to practice Korean that I learned in class while hanging out around Seoul and exploring. I got comfortable in Anam and was sad to leave when the program was over. It is 100% worthwhile to go but I would recommend buying an electric handfan as soon as possible fo..."
