Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I learned that there are so many incredible people in the world! I witnessed a huge tragedy, being so close to the epicenter of a 7.8 earthquake that wiped out a large part of the coast of Ecuador. My friends and I had extreme luck to have survived, and through our journey back to Quito, we encountered so many people who were mo..."

"10/10 I would recommend. "
A student George Washington University
"I learned how to travel well, who I travel best with, and a vast amount of history. It was extremely worthwhile! "
A student Hope College
"I learned to be my own person and not depend on others for what I want to do. It was incredibly worthwhile and I would do it again if I could."
A student Hope College
"As a student with only a basic knowledge of the French language, I spent four months learning about the French culture, language, and marketing (my major). I came back to the US wanting to go back Paris immediately. I had incredibly intelligent professors, a caring staff to ensure everything went smoothly, and a host family that..."
Gwen Babson College
"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
"I learned so much about South African healthcare both from classes and seeing it in person. I got to see first hand how clinics and hospitals in South Africa differ from the USA. Along with seeing so many cool procedures and surgeries in the hospital. "
A student Trinity University
"I gained so much more than I will ever fathom from this study abroad experience. I learned things like time and stress management, budgeting tips, how to navigate in unfamiliar places, and more. But I also learned more about who I am and the type of person I want to be. Any chance you get to study abroad - DO IT."
A student Hope College
"How do you sum this up? I learned so much about myself, which sounds cheesy but is true. When you are abroad, the support systems you have built up back in the US are still there for you, but in a different way because of your being removed geographically. It was up to me to blossom and grow and initiate relationships here, and ..."
Erin Steward Luther College
"I first and foremost learned what an interesting and quirky place Germany is. How rich its history is, how cool its culture is, and yet how different it is from the places I've been before. And considering all this, as well as the fact that I am Filipino studying in America, I also learned many hard truths about the complexity o..."

"See previous question. Yes, of course."
Katie Harvey University of Rochester
"I learned about myself and independence. I learned about management across cultures. I learned about other countries and cultures. It was the best semester I could have asked for."
Adriana Hamline University
"I gained a new type of independence. I think I always knew that I was an independent person, but studying abroad teaches you to travel by yourself, to engage in conversation with someone who does not speak the same language as you, and to become comfortable with being on the outside of your comfort zone. Even if you've travelled..."
Kayley Deaton George Washington University
"Specifically thinking about differences between my home uni and UC, I learned that just because I have been taught to learn one way does not mean that is the only way. Although it was tricky to adjust to UC's system at first, ultimately I came away from the semester with good grades and a new appreciation for how large universit..."
Olivia Skatrud Hope College
"I learned to rely on myself more and to stay calm in stressful situations. I think I became a more knowledgable and understanding person. It was definitely worthwhile."
Kristina Azevedo George Washington University
"Loved being party of a new culture"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned way too much to write in one paragraph! I learned how to handle myself in a new place, how to travel alone or with new people, how to communicate with people when you don't speak their language (I.e. Portuguese in Brazil), and so much more."
Alex Hughes Bentley University
"My experience increased my world view drastically. Living in a different country for an extended amount of time really immersed me in the culture and the way of life. My classes were also extremely interesting and informative. The experience was definitely worthwhile both for the fun experience as well as for my future career fi..."
Damani Eubanks University of Rochester
"I was able to integrate myself into another culture to expand my mind, learn about work ethics in other countries, and become a better global citizen. By living in a homestay and working at a children's teaching hospital in Barcelona, I have international connections and understand how the world works more than I did before stud..."
Malia Elmeer University of Wisconsin - Madison

Steph Tufts University
"Excellent language skills; high level of cultural interaction and appreciation; very worthwhile!"
Aran University of Virginia
"I gained a lot of confidence while living in Buenos Aires. I learned that I can handle living in a foreign country without my family. I was able to experience a completely different culture and improve my Spanish language skills. It was definitely a worthwhile experience."
A student Pennsylvania State University - Berks
"My time spent in Freiburg, Germany through the Environmental Studies & Sustainability program was a dream come true! Freiburg is a small but lively city that has made vast changes in recent decades to make it one of the most environmentally progressive towns in the world. Learning about the efforts made throughout the region to ..."
Alyssa Franklin & Marshall College
"The biggest thing I learned from my experience studying in Madrid is that the world is much bigger than we think. There is so much history and culture that can be unlocked by just learning another language, and usually learning a language is easier when immersed in the environment. "
A student University of Rochester
"I gained many new friends and was able to see a whole different part of this world. I felt the different travels and everyday experiences I had were so amazing and I will never forget them. Australia is a wonderful place with the nicest people. "
A student University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
