My study abroad experience in Milan through IES Abroad was fantastic. My goals before studying abroad were to make friends with Italian students and learn to speak the language. I had taken 4 semesters of Italian before studying abroad, however my Italian greatly improved through my Advanced Italian class. I felt comfortable get...

Having to navigate a new city with people speaking a different language, planning weekend trips, budgeting, and everything else that goes along with studying abroad helped me to become more independent. Britton McCurdy - Wofford College View Entire Review
I felt comfortable in new environments, stressful situations or uneasy situations that I was able to handle well and gained a lot of confidence. Kori Church - Ithaca College View Entire Review
I gained so much confidence. I now have no fear about traveling by myself, and I learned so much about how other cultures live and about others' perspectives. It was definitely worthwhile. I learned lessons that will help me throughout the rest of my life. Emily Bowman - University of Puget Sound View Entire Review
I learned how to live on my own and support myself when I became homesick or yearned for normalcy. I learned that different and change are a good thing and healthy for the young mind and body. I learned that I love to travel and there is nothing I would rather spend my time doing than seeing the world. I learned that there is mo... Madison Morsch - Wofford College View Entire Review

I was able to improve my language skills and learn what Milanese culture is like. I gained lifelong friendships and had incredible experiences both in Milan and across Europe. Definitely worthwhile! Christina C - George Washington University View Entire Review
I actually learned a lot about myself. Mainly, I learned that is a waste of time to judge people for being exactly who they are. Example: Why get mad at our Italian teachers for they more relaxed syllabus when that's how they've always done it and it works? Enjoy the new pace and learn as much as you can. Why get frustrated at a... Sarah B - Saint Olaf College View Entire Review
While I learned in the classroom, I learned much more about myself and gained independence. I learned a different culture and made great friends without knowing anyone going into my 3.5 stay. It was incredible. A student - Franklin & Marshall College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I loved Milan so much and I'll be sad to leave it. Genevieve C - University of Hartford View Entire Review
The most important thing I gained from this summer abroad was the work experience - my internship was perfect for my career goals, and having international experience doesn't hurt. It was worthwhile, although it may not have been worth the cost if I hadn't had such a good internship placement. Elizabeth P - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
Now that I am home, the program abroad has impacted my life greatly. I have changed what I have wanted to do with my life. I want to become completely fluent in Italian. This program made me want to take a test for the translator's certificate for Italian, English, and Japanese. This program has made me appreciate who I am and w...

I learned an immense amount about the Italian culture - cuisine, language, history, politics. It was a beautiful experience! I also learned a lot about myself - what my strongest interests and passions are, and what I am capable of. Sergio F - Haverford College View Entire Review
I gained confidence in myself that rolled over from my speaking ability into everything I do now. Saying worthwhile is an understatement. Joshua Hays - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned a lot about many different cultures, but I also learned a lot about myself. I learned to push myself outside my comfort zone, which always pays off in the end. A student - Purdue University View Entire Review
I worked with some very talented instructors. Some of them have had books published in several languages. Others taught at the conservatory in Milan such as the music theory instructor and our vocal instruction. The acting coach had a residency at the Piccolo Theatre in Milan. In addition, La Scala was only a 15 minute walk from... A student - Illinois Wesleyan University View Entire Review
I feel that I gained a significant amount of self-confidence after studying abroad as well as improved my time management skills. The constant travel that this program includes forced me into new and sometimes confusing situations, however, after navigating through these uncharted territories, I now feel able to approach any sit...

It was an incredibly worthwhile experience, I learned a great deal about myself as a person and how I interacted with people from around the world. Peter Martin - University of Rochester View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself. Things didn't go quite as I had imagined, but it helped me realize a lot of what i do and do not want in life. It also forced me to face challenges on my own, which helped me grow as a person. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. I wouldn't trade it for anything. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and became a completely functional adult through my abroad experience. It taught me how to live in the city and how different American cities and city culture is compared to Italy. Jake S - Santa Clara University View Entire Review
My abroad experience gave me the chance to learn more about myself and to discover more about the world. It allowed me to immerse myself in a foreign language and come out being almost fluent. It was by far worthwhile. A student - Villanova University View Entire Review
i gained a lot of cultural experience Kiki T - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I am mountains more confident. Being abroad has made me want to jump on opportunities much more than I have in the past. Some of the things that I could chalk up as negative aspects of my time abroad have even inspired me. For example, there was very limited access to practice rooms to sing here. Practicing is ESSENTIAL. I feel ... Nadia B - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Incredibly worthwhile! It should be something every college student does - it challenged me in ways I would have never experienced without leaving the comfort zone of the US. A student - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
Through my experience abroad I gained a better understanding of the world, of Italy, and of the U.S. It made me reflect on our customs and traditions and especially the differences in our cultures. It has made me a better person and broadened my view of the world. It was 100% worth it. A student - Simmons College View Entire Review
