Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I gained invaluable life experiences that were definitely worthwhile."
A student Tufts University
"This program was extremely worthwhile. I learned about the importance of the difference it makes to learn about art within its context. By being able to visit the various places of art in its original location, it really changes your understanding of the artwork at hand."
A student Wheaton College, MA
"Studying through this program was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I would go back tomorrow if I were able. Not only were the professors absolutely amazing, but the way the program itself allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the city through classes and group outings really gave us a unique perspective of be..."
Allie Maniglia Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"Studying abroad in Berlin was incredible. Between having an excellent host-family, taking interesting classes, and exploring the city by myself or with friends I can confidently say my time was well spent. I learned about many aspects of the city, both in class and from first-hand experience, I met really wonderful people, trave..."
Matthew Uecker Whitman College
"I learned so much about my host culture and about myself. I faced new challenges that really helped me to grow as a person. "
Molly Anderson Boston College
"If you're looking to truly immerse yourself in french language and culture, this is the program for you. Nantes is the perfect city for a study abroad semester: it is large and young enough that there is always something fun to do, yet small enough to truly feel like home. The people are kind and generous and (unlike what you ma..."
Tarin University of Rochester
"As with most individuals, I became even more independent during my time. I gained valuable work experience through my internship as well as applicable education from my professors. The staff at IES London cares about their students, which shows through in the overall experience."
Reid Indiana University - Bloomington
" I’ve made some lifelong friends from around the world through my experience with IES. Study abroad is what you make of it. My best advice is to let yourself be uncomfortable; make new friends, use the language, branch out, and enjoy your time abroad!"
A student University of Wisconsin - Whitewater
"I came home with an incredible, newfound level of independence and confidence. I feel as though I can conquer anything I try now since I was able to 'take on' London."
Jade Illinois Wesleyan University
"One of the most valuable things I did for my public health education was studying abroad with IES Abroad's HPP program in London and Oxford. I learned about public health from a European perspective; What are the priorities for health promotion in the UK? What are the current initiatives? How did England's health stats of today ..."
A student University of Rochester
"I mostly gained confidence in myself. Prior to going abroad I had never really taken public transportation or spoken French outside of French class! Going out of your comfort zone is completely worthwhile and it's incredible to see in myself how much I've grown in just half a year! "
Jacquelyn Anderson University of Puget Sound
"1000000% worthwhile, this trip has influenced me for the better. "
Kiki Kravitz University of Oregon
"Studying abroad in the Netherlands through IES Abroad was the best choice I have made in college thus far. I can say with confidence that it changed my life for the better. Going into it I wasn't sure what to expect, but I come out of it with a heightened sense of self as well as a greater awareness of others. The IES Amsterdam ..."
Abby Lawrence University
"It was worthwhile. I had a wonderfully human experience in Amsterdam. "
MIH University of Redlands
"I was able to learn about tolerance and opening my eyes to a different way of living where the social norms and standards were completely different from mine. I learned how to adapt to these changes and incorporate my own way of life into this period. I frequently had to explain certain American concepts to my Japanese friends a..."
Iris C Brandeis University
"As far as academics are concerned, if you are looking for an easy-breezy semester abroad, I would not recommend this program. We took all of our classes at the IES EU center. Obviously like any institution, there are easier and harder teachers and professors, but the required 5-class course load means you will definitely be work..."
Jack Galardi Skidmore College
"A better understanding of other cultures. "
Darren Ayoub University of California - Berkeley
"I learned that I could adapt to new situations fairly easily. It was completely worthwhile because it showed me that I deal with change better than I originally thought."

eve Whitman College
"It was certainly worth while! I learned a lot about Ireland, about history, international politics, how to travel, the Irish school system, etc. IES did a great job of getting us out and about in Ireland and Dublin. We saw lots of plays, story slams, movies, etc. I appreciated everyone at the IES center, especially Stephen, Jack..."
Emily Sarah Lawrence College
"my language and cultural literacy improved, definitely worthwhile"
ann marie Case Western Reserve University
"I learned that I can push myself in new ways. I learned that there are ways of life that are different -- in small and big ways -- from those I'm used to here. I learned that friendship means different things in different cultures. I came to see different ways societies can be structured. I learned how to adapt when I remove jus..."
A student Brandeis University
"I gain a sense of independence and confidence that I didn't have before."
Emily Brown Berea College
