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 a lot about my resiliency, which made it very worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned that I love Medieval literature (and that I hate Quorn). It also gave me the space to figure out a few things about my life and my future that I don't think I would have (or at least not in the same time frame) if I hadn't gone"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot socially, but very little academically."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to be self sufficient, explore countries where I didn't speak the language, and how to cook for myself. It was absolutely worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about community. I learned that it is something we all need and that an authentic community doesn't have to be made up of a bunch of people who are all like-minded. In fact, I learned that the more diverse a community, the more dynamic and beautiful it is! Regardless of where we are from or what our worldviews ar..."
A student Truman State University
"More independence"
A student Texas A&M University - College Station
"I know now what I want from an education that Wellesley doesn't offer, and I feel more inclined to do post graduate studies."
Bozena Scheidel Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about English culture and how to travel. I gained a lot of self-awareness and confidence about my ability to live on my own. It was definitely worthwhile to come!"
Elena Najjab Wellesley College
"I was so challenged by how isolating studying abroad can be. I am introverted, and did not expect to miss my family or friends when I was abroad, but I really deeply missed them throughout the whole experience. I really gained more self-reliance and an ability to be more adaptable, while I also learned to value the people I care..."
A student Birmingham-Southern College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I got exposure to a different style of education, had the opportunity to learn at one of the world's most prestigious universities, and took classes I enjoyed and found interesting. I also was able to travel a good deal, since Oxford learning is so self-directed."
A student Wellesley College
"Gained friends, a new perspective of American and British education, and new appreciation of what I have. Definitely worth it."
A student Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I think I gained knowledge about different worldviews, a new culture, new perspective on who I am as a person, and a lot of new and exciting experiences."
A student Wellesley College
"While I thought I would be studying my majors at a deeper level, I learned more about myself and how to learn independently while at LSE. I traveled around Europe, and learned to navigate the city by myself, and these were the most valuable parts of my experience abroad. I also gained a greater appreciation for my home instituti..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about budgeting, independent learning and testing my motivation."
A student Wellesley College
"I've learned a lot about independence and traveling. I've learned a lot about myself and how I react to different situations and while there were issues with the University, I wouldn't give up this experience for anything. I may not have learned much academic learning but I did learn real life experience. "
A student Truman State University
"I learned how to travel- planning and logistical things like how to buy plane tickets and book hostels, how to navigate foreign public transportation, how to travel cheaply. 100% worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"i am overall much more indépendant and self confident from my experiences abroad. my french has ameliorated greatly simply the necessity of speaking every day. i learned so much from my fellow international erasmus students about life in their home countries and what is important in their own daily lives."
Aaron Ragsdale Birmingham-Southern College
"Aprender español"
Sophie
"I gained knowledge about a different side of the world! I know a lot about the Irish school system and how their society works. I was also able to become more independent. It was very worthwhile and I would do it all over again if I could!"
Vanessa Westen Upper Iowa University
"Really loved taking classes at another university and meeting local students. It was great to travel on weekends with friends and explore. Definitely worthwhile!"
Caroline G Wellesley College
"This is impossible to sum up entirely, but some bullet points will paint a sufficient picture: - Language proficiency gained largely from interacting with native speakers - Volunteer experience abroad - An incredible immersion in the ancient civilization I've studied for years - Wonderful opportunities to grow in my faith, e..."
Joe Slama Truman State University
"I gained confidence in speaking French. It was definitely worth studying abroad, but maybe not with this program. I wanted more opportunities to interact with the locals "
A student Wheaton College, IL
"I learned so much about the world outside of the US. Even countries like England present significant differences from life in the Us, and being able to experience other cultures in England and around Europe has changed my outlook on the world. "
A student Birmingham-Southern College
"That fascists was a victim of II WW"
Pedro Lavarotti University of Bologna / Unibo
