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 how to communicate with non-native English speakers, I learned about a lot of difference cultures, and how to travel responsibly. It was amazing!"
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I gained a lot of respect for those living in foreign countries and speaking their second or even third language daily. I have officially caught the travel bug. There are so many amazing things to see, and learn, followed by many interesting people to meet, and lots of different cultures to experience. I've become more social, a..."
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Aside from learning the language, culture and exploring I learned a lot about myself, I learned to be independent and to make good choices. After my time there I believe that when you go abroad you find yourself because you are in a new place, where you know no one, with no limitations what so ever. "
Carolyn R. Nagle Instituto Franklin-UAH
"The education system taught me self motivation in a way that only Oxford could. It's almost the complete opposite of American uni's and definitely something worth trying. You learn alot about yourself as you go through the program"
A student Wellesley College
"When I came to Spain, I wasn’t even sure if I could speak Spanish because I didn’t have many opportunities to practice. I was afraid to talk with people and start conversations. By my 3rd month in I was readily and willing to talk with anyone and was not ashamed to make mistakes because I knew that is the only way I would get b..."
Tiara Auburn University
"It was definitely a worthwhile experience. I was only supposed to go abroad for one semester, but I decided to extend it for the rest of the year. I learned so much about myself and the world around me. If you are on the fence about studying abroad, just go!"
Emily Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about other cultures and how things are different around the world. I also got to travel Europe and conduct my own neuroscience research. "
A student Wellesley College
"Just that I'm capable of travelling internationally alone."
A student University of Maine - Orono
"My favorite part of study abroad wasn't the studying. It was the travel. UEA's long Easter break (as well as shorter breaks here and there) allowed me to go all over Europe and the UK. I saw museums and cities that I have always dreamed of visiting. I discovered new places I loved (Scotland) far more than the places I thought I ..."
A student University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"I learned how to depend on me, not always asking for others opinions "
Kristopher Conner University of Central Missouri
"To accept and try more new things. To do the thing you really like instead of being afraid to try and thinking too much about gain and loss."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned how to be entirely self sufficent--traveling alone, planning trips, getting to doctors, budgeting money, making friends, being okay with doing activities alone, etc. I definitely became more independent than i thought i could be. "
A student University of Hartford
"Learned a lot of language and a lot of the political and religious climate of the area"
A student Brandeis University
"Living in a European city was a great cultural experience."
A student Middlebury College

Elijah Nielsen Truman State University
"Confidence and problem solving. Very worthwhile"
A student Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"By living away from friends and family and being in an unfamiliar place I gained a lot of patience. It was definitely worthwhile and gave me the opportunity to grow as a person and expand my way of thinking. "
Jordan Laesch Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"I learned so much about myself, about my family, and about life overall. It was an unforgettable experience. "

Brigitte Parady University of Maine - Orono
"Beyond gaining many new wonderful friends and experiences, one of the biggest things I gained through this program was confidence in my ability to live alone, integrate successfully into new situations and cultures, and make the most out of opportunities, all of which this program challenged me to do. "
