I wish I was there longer. I had an incredible experience non-academically and an average academic experience. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

It really made me notice how little we are taught about Latin America and other countries in general, especially the political and economic histories. - Ithaca College View Entire Review

Past Review
Of course it was worth while. The program was horrible although I had heard similar things about IES before i left; i should have listened. I am a much more understanding person. I am grateful for what I have and what my country offers me no matter what great problems I have with it. - Ithaca College View Entire Review
