Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"A feeling of independence and the opportunity to learn and explore a different culture. "
A student Brandeis University
"My experience abroad has been so meaningful that I have decided to pursue graduate school in France. The trajectory of my life really has changed, and I am so excited to return to France."
Isabel D Indiana University - Bloomington
"It sounds obvious, but I definitely learned how to adapt to new situations. The smallest things that you don't expect to be different are, from the way public transport works to how Irish dairy products taste, but you learn to love them in their own way (sometimes more than what you'd been used to). I'm also even more independen..."
Hannah T Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned from my experience that the world is big, but not as big as we think, so it is important to get to see and travel as much as possible. My experience abroad also allowed me to personally grow and push myself outside of my comfort zone. "
A student Point Park University
"As a student, I learned how to apply my coursework in an international context that allowed me to consider my academics as a whole instead of compartmentalized classes. As a young woman, I learned new skills to enter into the world confident and independent. I can actively see the way my thinking has evolved because I gave mysel..."
Cali C Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"I wouldn't trade my experience in Germany for the world! I got to understand who I am outside of my homeland, and understand the U.S. in an unique way. I also developed deep affection for Berlin and its history. All of these things brought me personal development, but also furthered my studies in International Affairs. It was gr..."
Corena P Miami University
"Not only did I learn how to be a better traveler, communicator, and student, but I gained a lot more confidence in everyday things. From the moment I left for Ireland to the day I had to return to the U.S, I feel as though my confidence levels have changed dramatically and I am a much better person because of it."
Allie H Providence College
"I learned so much about myself! While I have traveled to Mexico and Canada, I have never been abroad - much less by myself! I was so incredibly nervous to go to an entire different continent without knowing a single person; yet I made life-long friends and had the trip of a lifetime. "
Elizabeth M Indiana University - Bloomington
"While living in London, I also appreciated how diverse the city was and how open it was to cultures from all over the world! This was the most exciting part for me! In London, every neighborhood or borough was a touristy and niche with plenty of cultural boutiques and restaurants. I was also about 15 minutes away from Camden Mar..."
A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"I learned a lot form my classes, how to navigate a city on my own, time management, and a lot from locals of London, Paris, and Montreal as I met many international students there"
Timothy M Indiana University - Bloomington
"Got to improve my spanish a lot and learn from local students. "
Alex F Brandeis University
"My French has improves massively and learning how to navigate different cultures was an extremely valuable and enlightening experience"
A student Brandeis University
"After this program, I gained a lot of confidence in myself. I figured out my phone plan on my own, met people and formed strong relationships, persevered when I felt that I was struggling with learning the language. I proved to myself that I can live on my own abroad and it was definitely worth while!"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how to be independent in a foreign country, confident in Spanish, and travel on my own!"
A student Brandeis University
"Nice is so beautiful! The city and the sea are magnificent. French culture is more mindful and appreciative of the small moments compared to American culture. Daily life and weekends are so, so fun. I was also lucky enough to make some great friends through this program! There's a truly special energy in this city."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how to live without my family or friends 24/7. Even though I made friends while abroad, I was finally able to learn how to live on my own."
Genevieve Huntington Indiana University - Bloomington
"I gained real-world experience through my internship and living in a different country across the world. I learned a lot about myself and the world around me. I am so grateful for my experience and it was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"I learned so much about independence! It definitely helped to be in an english speaking country as it is my first language! "
Caroline Fizzano Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"I had never left the country before this so I grew so much as a person and my perspective is just so different in the best possible way. Also, I gained so much confidence living in a city and traveling to other countries because I had to do all the planning and budgeting on my own with my friends that I just made there and not m..."
Julia Domenick Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"I learned how to be independent in a different way than I did in college."
A student Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"I learned a lot about the city through my classes. Each course included excursions that allowed us to explore the city and experience new incredible opportunities like strolling through the market and exploring iconic museums and landmarks. Additionally, I learned the importance of trying new things and being open to new ideas b..."

A student University of Vermont

A student Villanova University
"I got to learn all about a new culture and more about Italian business practices since I completed an internship while I was in Milan. I grew as a person as well and made life long friendships with people I would have never met if it wasn't for abroad! It was definitely worthwhile and if I could travel abroad every semester I wo..."
