Opened my eyes to the world and I see how and why people think the way they do about America/Americans A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned how to be more independent and, on the opposite side, I learned that it is okay to ask for help when you need it. Many times it is actually the strong thing to do. Danny P - Augsburg College View Entire Review
Aside from learning a lot about Irish history and culture, I also learned that I am capable of living and surviving on my own in a foreign country. Before traveling to Ireland, I had never been out of the States, and I had never really traveled alone, so just going there was a huge step for me. Now that it's over, I feel like I ...

I'm more outgoing and independent. I learned a lot academically, and made sure to pick up a lot of the local literature, but I also learned to take care of myself and make plans for my own adventures. I am more confident after this experience, too, and a much better storyteller! Taylor H - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I gained confidence in international travel that will serve me well in the future. I traveled every weekend with friends, and I even spent a weekend by myself where I only planned my flight and hostel. When I got there I figured it out as I went, and I am so thankful for that experience. This was a summer that I will never fo... Rebekah S - Illinois Wesleyan University View Entire Review
My experience changed my life in so many ways. I became a curious, outgoing, confident adventurous person and gained skills I didn't even know i was lacking. Study abroad was one of the best decisions I have ever made A student - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
My time spent in Dublin holds a very special place in my heart and I owe this incredible experience to the wonderful IES administration and students. Living and learning in a different country is one of the best experiences you can give yourself and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their horizons and grow. I l...

I gained so much from my experience abroad. I was able to explore Ireland, I made amazing friendships, and learned so much about the culture. Erin W - Hope College View Entire Review
I gained an understanding of Irish culture, economy, and politics I did not have before. It was my first time being exposed to a different pace and views of the world that I now get to incorporate with my perspective. My time in Dublin was completely worthwhile and has inspired me to continue to travel and to see things from m... Margaret M - University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign View Entire Review
Studying abroad in Ireland this past summer was by far the best decision I could have made. From the people I met to the places I was able to travel to, it was overall an incredible experience. I can't recommend studying through IES enough--the staff is so enthusiastic about helping you to optimize your time abroad and they are ...

I worked five days a week for Sportsfile, photographing Irish sporting events as well as assisting in photoshoots. I loved the Irish culture and the people I worked with most. I still keep in touch with many of my colleagues and have formed long-lasting relationships. The staff at IES Abroad was brilliant from start to finish, h... A student - Biola University View Entire Review
Overall, I felt a lot more independent when I left Ireland. I'd navigated foreign cities, made new friends, gotten to know Dublin and traveled a bit. I felt really refreshed and confident in my own capabilities. In terms of my internship experience, learned a lot about working on my own initiative. Irish work culture is diff...

This experience was very worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and I learned a lot about the Irish culture! I can't wait to go back! Kenosha B - University of Illinois - Chicago View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself, and gained so much confidence that it cannot be measured. It was incredibly worthwhile. Laura T - Hope College View Entire Review
I gained an open mind, an appreciation for traveling, and new friends/people to network with. I learned better time management skills and self dependence since I was living on my own. All of this was worth it. Deyontavis W - Knox College View Entire Review
IES Abroad has been detrimental to my experience thus far as a soon-to-be graduated senior. It helped me grow in so many different ways - emotionally (battling homesickness while finding new friends), physically (all the hikes I went on, calves of steel!), and intellectually (Irish language, history, and literature are all fasci... Grace D - Pacific Lutheran University View Entire Review
This program is unbelievably worth while. I learned so much about Irish culture, it's history, and about myself. It was a wholesome abroad experience that gave me the opportunity to grow, learn, and gain a better understanding of the world we live in. Mason H - Texas Christian University View Entire Review
I always knew I would study abroad somewhere in Europe—the big question then became where? As I browsed through the IES options (IES being a program that worked well with my homeschool and made transferring my financial aid and grades easy!) the two countries that stood out to me were France and Ireland; France with its romantic... A student - Anonymous University View Entire Review
Studying abroad has taught me a lot about myself. I am more open to the idea of living somewhere extremely different for a short time, and it definitely made me catch the travel bug. It has also made me more confident when I enter new situations, because that was something we dealt with constantly while abroad. I have a special ... JoAnna N - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned how to be more independent and accepting of other cultures. I feel more open minded and less scared of venturing out of my comfort zone and throwing myself into a new culture. Kaitlin H - Pennsylvania State University - University Park View Entire Review
I gained a new perspective on life from the experience. I believe wholeheartedly that it was worth my while. It taught me how to expand beyond my own little bubble and look at life from the lens of an Irishman. Life over there is calmer, more accepting of life (as opposed to always trying to change everything for our own benefit... A student - Anonymous University View Entire Review
Ireland is a beautiful country with wonderful people. It was so much fun being in the city throughout the week and then being able to disappear to the lush green countryside on the weekends! Traveling throughout the country is very easy and not too expensive, which allowed me to see Ireland in its entirety! A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Gained new lifelong friends. I met people of such different cultures from my own and learned more about my own. Learned more about American politics and those of international countries that I now pay attention to even back home. Kevin W - University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign View Entire Review
Best semester of my college career. Quite possibly the best 4 months of my life. Easy but interesting academics, awesome people, loads of adventure, and fresh Guinness. What more do you need? Jordan B - Wofford College View Entire Review
I learned all about Irish culture and history through my classes, traveling, field trips, and interactions with locals. It was thrilling and amazing to learn so much about a place you are living in for a temporary time. It was completely worthwhile. Dana T - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
