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, International Summer Schools, Turkey, and Slovakia.
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 learned that Costa Rica is a gem of a country. The people, the culture, and the natural life are really incredible. I also learned a good amount Spanish that you would not necessarily learn in a classroom, especially colloquialisms. This program was definitely worth every penny. "
A student Trinity University
"I gained an understanding of a new culture, friends, knowledge, and the experience of a life time "
Laura K Brandeis University
"Studying abroad was the most difficult thing I have ever done but I am so happy I did it. I learned how to navigate through unfamiliar areas without technology. I learned more about other cultures. I learned I'm incredibly independent and can handle more than I think. I also learned that travel in Europe is much cheaper, which m..."
Terri Sitton Eastern Illinois University
"I gained lots of nursing skills, dealing with patients in a professional capacity mostly, also I learned a lot about my ability to deal with stress and what kinds of things tend to stress me out. I learned a lot about Chilean history and culture as well. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a greater degree of independence and how far I have yet to go with my Spanish skills. It didn't discourage me to not always understand locals or classwork, but I feel more motivated than before to reach fluency and learn about/live in another Hispanic culture. "
Bailey Mitchell Eastern Illinois University
"I absolutely loved Italy, learned a lot about myself, and learned a lot about travel."
Madelyn Loellke Eastern Illinois University
"I learned about myself and other people. I was able to see the world from a new perspective. I learned that people are very different, but also very different. I learned how to be positive and persevere through rough situations. It was more than worthwhile. "
A student Winona State University
"The intensive design experience was a perfect technical supplement to my liberal arts undergraduate education."
A student Middlebury College
"Yes, it was absolutely worthwhile. I think the biggest thing that I learned from the program is to always take the time to appreciate the world and people, no matter how busy I am. It's so easy back home to get caught up with work and just forget about living, but in London, I couldn't ignore that."
A student Truman State University
"Interestingly, I felt a pretty strong spiritual connection to the historical monuments and temples especially. Living in Japan (despite naturally encountering daily stressors) gave me a really wonderful peaceful feeling. Also, I learned a lot about the culture and their art, finding inspiration from my experiences and Japanese a..."

Elana I Brandeis University
"Definitely. Not only did I learn a lot about my major and concentration, but I learned a lot about myself and my interests. I started to love learning again and was able to get involved in things because I was passionate, not only for my GPA and grad school applications. "

Sarah University of Maine - Orono
"This study abroad trip was not always smooth sailing. There were many times when I was scared or homesick, but knowing what I know now, I would gladly put myself through all that again without a second thought. Going on this trip not only helped me grow academically, but also personally. It helped me mature and gain confidence i..."
