Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"European Studies here at W&M emphasizes language and history, and this program offered me the political science and economic academic opportunities I hadn't taken at my home school. The courses also all complement each other and branch off a core of foundational information which is taught immediately in the program (during orie..."
Elizabeth F The College of William and Mary
"Absolutely! While it didn't necessarily impact my cultural awareness as much as maybe some other countries would have, I still got to experience being on the complete other side of the world, and they DO do things very differently. I also feel that maybe others would have more of a cultural awakening if they haven't been anywher..."

"Studying abroad was one of the most worthwhile things I have done. To be able to live with my host mom and have her teach me so much about the language and the culture, to travel as much as I did to so many amazing places, and to make a few good friends in a sea of immature Americans, were really life changing. I am so glad I ..."

"It was very worthwhile, however I didn't like that it was to americanized. "
Silvia C Trinity University
"Studying abroad has made me want to travel the world. I realize now that there are so many place I want to go still, and I hope to one day have the opportunity to do so. It also has made me interested in teaching English abroad in another country if grad school doesn't work out for me next year. "

Nancy W University of Rochester
"I was given the chance to remove myself from my comfort zone and go to a place that I have always wanted to go to. My expectations were exceeded. I saw such beautiful things and tried new things. I was fortunate to travel so much throughout Australia and also to New Zealand. I would never change anything about my abroad experien..."
Dale L University of Rochester
"It was certainly worthwhile. It has motivated me to get abroad again in life and perhaps go back to Australia to work and live. It also increased my confidence. Knowing I can travel in the world on my own is rewarding!"

Megan M The Catholic University of America
"Studying abroad in Sydney made me realize that anywhere in the world is only a plane ride away. In 2009/2010 I went back to Sydney under a 1 year work/travel visa and lived and worked there. I am now in South Korea living and working. Neither of these 2 things would have happened if I wouldn't have studied abroad. It opened my e..."

Nicole L The Catholic University of America
"Absolutely. My program was overpriced, but not as expensive as many programs I looked at. The 6-week program is perfect for someone looking to get the benefits of studying abroad in a short amount of time: in my case, I'm a big homebody but love to travel, so it was just the right amount of time away from home. I feel like st..."
Monica L The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was one that will never leave me. I learned so much while I was there. Not only did my French improve, but I met people from so many different countries. It really helped me learn about the differences not only between North American countries and European countries, but also about the intercultural experiences ..."
Madeline P University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"The most imoprtant thing I learned during my time abroad was how to become culturally aware and how important globalization really is for the future success of mankind. I learned how to live almost on my own and become more independent than I was prior to this experience. I made very close friends that were in the study abroad p..."
