Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"The most important thing I gained from this summer abroad was the work experience - my internship was perfect for my career goals, and having international experience doesn't hurt. It was worthwhile, although it may not have been worth the cost if I hadn't had such a good internship placement. "

"This summer I had the privilege to study Music Performance in Vienna Austria through IES Abroad. Originally I was not excited to study abroad, but my experience in Austria changed my entire opinion of study abroad curriculum and opportunity.

"Living in Siena was everything I wanted studying abroad to be about and more! Since Siena is a smaller city than others in Italy, it created a quaint, home-like feeling to it. By the time I left, I felt comfortable in the city and felt like one of the locals, and I always felt safe, even walking at night. I found it very fasc..."

"I learned a lot from inside the classroom, but I learned even more from the course-related excursions I attended, which allowed me to see more areas and neighborhoods of the city than I would have seen on my own.

I chose IES Abroad Berlin because I wanted to practice m..."

"The opportunity to study abroad is one that every student should take. Not only do you meet great people from around the world, you make great friends, experience cultures that you may have never considered exploring and you expose yourself to different situations that you could not get from your University. My time abroad was u..."
Jessica R University of Rochester
"I'm more outgoing and independent. I learned a lot academically, and made sure to pick up a lot of the local literature, but I also learned to take care of myself and make plans for my own adventures. I am more confident after this experience, too, and a much better storyteller!"
