Study Abroad with FIE (Foundation for International Education)
"I have gained a significant appreciation for the history and culture of Ireland, and I think I will always feel connected to the country moving forward. I know feel much more confident in living and traveling independently."
Brett Z College of Saint Benedict and Saint Johns University
"I learned a lot about my self and I really enjoyed the experience. I wish I'd had a better program, but I'm glad I went."

"I learned to rise to the challenge and demand control of my own life and work. I learned to stick up for myself, my ideas, and set my own pace."
A student Middlebury College
"Aside from enjoying the cultural aspects of being abroad, I found that having to be alone in a new country taught me things about myself that I wouldn't have learned otherwise. We also went on weekend trips to other parts of Ireland which was probably one of my favorites things about studying abroad. It was an opportunity I beli..."
A student Baylor University
"I learned that relationship with Jesus is crucial when abroad and that I am a capable and independent individual. Yes."
Sydney F Baylor University
"I gained the ability to live in a large city and basically work, commuting an hour to and from work three days a week"
Adam O The College of New Jersey
"I learned to live independently and not be afraid to travel to a new and unfamiliar place alone. I became much more open-minded in terms of other cultures and ways of living. Although London is a mega-city just like the one I grew up close to (New York City), living in the center of a place with such a vast array of culture was ..."
A student The College of New Jersey
"A new perspective and confidence "
Alex N Santa Clara University
"I've traveled to a few places in the world, and I always try to take a bit of each country home with me. Literally, I always take a few pebbles. But more deeply than that, from Dublin and Ireland in general I gained a great respect for friendliness and openness. As a straight-up New Yorker, I'm used to facing a very fast-paced a..."
Michelle C SUNY - Albany
"I learned a lot about myself as a person, I figured out what I wanted out of life and what makes me happy. It was definitely worthwhile! "
Ashley F SUNY - Albany
"I thought it was very much worthwhile. I gained a lifelong friend, invaluable knowledge about budgeting/traveling, independence and confidence overall. I believe in myself and the trip to Dublin made me realize that I am capable of handling myself in any situation."
Alyssa D University of Central Florida
"This experience is able to help me in any aspect of my life, especially my career. Every college student should study abroad"
Ashleigh G University of Central Florida
"I became much more confident in doing things alone. Growing up and going to school in small suburban towns, I had never had to use public transportation before. I became much more independent and adventurous, and I tried to not fall right back into my car driving habits."
A student Elon University
"The FIE program in Dublin is absolutely remarkable. Each and everyday is a brand new experience packed with adventure and personal growth. I attend a small liberal arts school in the United States and it was quite the shock to learn how to live in a major European capital such as Dublin. However, FIE is with you every step of th..."
A student Elon University
"The London-Amman Program is unique in its aim to provide a study tour on the subject of Conflict-Resolution. As a Psychology and Political Science undergrad, I found that no other program was able to capture a discipline which transcends the social sciences. Our group received such a thorough understanding of both regions. As st..."
Shani S CUNY - Queens College
"Although England is an english speaking country, there is still a bit of a language barrier due to colloquialisms that is great to experience and navigate. I learned how to travel by myself, use public transportation, and ultimately live on my own comfortably in a foreign environment."
Tessa L Marist College
"My experience made me more confident and way more independent. Absolutely worthwhile, as I want to move back. "
Allie M Elon University
"I gain a new perspective on Irish life and culture. I learned that I loved the city life, especially Dublin. It was very worthwhile."
Colin K Elon University
"I gained a new perspective on the world just from being outside the United States for an extended period of time. Living in the United States my whole life I didn't realize that the world could operate differently and still be able to function efficiently. I would say it was definitely worthwhile exploring new places and meeting..."
A student University of Wisconsin - Madison
"There's so much in the response to that. I gained perspective, inspiration, adaptability, friends, memories etc. I was very worthwhile I would do it again if the opportunity came to me. "
Nick S Temple University
"I gained a better knowledge of how other people live in the world. It also solidified my constant travel bug and I'm looking into booking a trip back over to London after my graduation from college. Studying abroad was definitely the highlight of my college career and I would absolutely go back to it in a heartbeat. "
Alyssa O Marist College
"I gained so much independence and self-reliance. It was also incredibly lonely and stressful; for at least the first 5 weeks I was absolutely miserable. However, I learned that the only way to get past being miserable was to accept it and move on, push myself to new levels, and always always always poke my nose into places I'm..."

"There is no comparison from the perspective you will get by going to a place. It's invaluable."
