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
"Learned how to balance an at times enormous workload with extracurricular activities."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how the world of academia operated, and I especially now understand how British school systems work, which is very powerful for me as I am going to academia. "
A student Middlebury College
"I roomed with a ton of people in a small space, that being said, I learned a lot about my fellow classmates and how to communicate differently with so many other people. I learned to navigate around Italy, took time to seek out adventures all over the country and loved seeing a different culture in action. It was interesting to ..."
A student University of Denver
"Academic achievement / travel experience/ make new friends "
Yuying Wan Brandeis University
"I learned how to navigate a new place on my own. I also learned how to be more independent and plan travels to places I had never been. The experience was definitely worthwhile. "

"If you can spend a year abroad in an unfamiliar city and in an unfamiliar academic setting, you can do anything."
A student Brandeis University
"I had a great time in Edinburgh. I liked that I could direct enroll and go to a new place to study for awhile while getting credits towards my degree. It's a really valuable experience being somewhere new and having to move out of your comfort zone to meet new people and establish your little life there. "
Wellesley S Wellesley College
"I learnt how to do independent study. I learnt how to manage writing 4000 words a week and still have a life. I engaged with my subject in a very focused and in-depth manner, and I really enjoyed that."
A student Middlebury College
"Overall a good experience."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained a greater self confidence living and traveling by myself, especially in places where I don't speak the language. I really enjoyed getting to spend time just wandering in Edinburgh, and in other cities I visited. I learned how to adapt to new environments."
A student Wellesley College
"I got to experience different cultures firsthand, and also learned more about how I like to travel. You can only learn these things by doing, so it was very worthwhile."
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I met so many people from all over, which in itself is invaluable. The biggest thing I gained was learning from different people's perspectives and how it changed my own!"
Drew McDonagh Birmingham-Southern College
"It was a great trip. I learned so much and had a great time. It would have been 10 times better though if things were planned better."
Erik Spong Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Learned more about myself than about academics, that's for sure. It was the most worthwhile experience I've ever had in my 21 years on this planet."
A student Middlebury College

"It was worthwhile, I gained a lot of knowledge about other cultures and about myself as well. "
Ashley Shannon Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Even though it was chaotic and I didn't end up passing my courses, I still lived in a different country for almost 6 months. I definitely say it was worth it, it was very enriching and I had the ability to practice my Spanish more than ever could have back home and have native feedback. I would say it was a wonderful life experi..."
