Study Abroad with IES Abroad

"I gained a new understanding of the world as a whole as well as an genuine understanding and acceptance of other opinions, cultures, and customs. I learned so much, not only about the history and current way of life of Spain, but about myself."

"The most important thing that I learned while I was abroad was that I could do so much more than I ever thought I could. I believe, to really make the most out of your study abroad experience, you have to just immerse yourself in absolutely as much as you can. Though it can seem overwhelming at times, it is, I think, the best wa..."

"The IES European Union program changed my life. It helped me to grow in self-confidence, developed my independence, and built friendships that could last a lifetime. I've developed an interest for international affairs and diplomacy, and I can't wait to take the knowledge and skills that I've developed to the real world. If you'..."

"Studying abroad in Barcelona is something I will always cherish and will forever be a significant life event for me. Barcelona is truly a unique city, combining the ancient Roman times with the modern post-Franco era. I particularly loved how each district, or barrio, in the city had its own distinct character, which made explor..."

"I gained the ability to start my life by myself in a different culture. I became more self-sufficient and independent. IES provides assistance but not living on a college campus provides more freedom to explore and live on your own."
Caitlin S Grinnell College

A student American University
"I learned so much during my time in Quito. Becoming a part of daily life in the city taught me more about how people live outside of the country than I could have ever imagined. On the other hand, I did not have the best host family experience. The accommodations were incredible but I had very high expectations of living with an..."

"Overall, I had a very rewarding experience during my time with IES. What was great to me about IES was the fact that teachers wanted to make sure you learned while also giving you the chance to explore Japan and your surroundings. Although this is a language intensive program, you aren't pushed to the point of being stressed. Yo..."

"It's incredible how different cultures in other developed countries are and the only was to see those differences is to live in that culture."

A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"Learned more than words could convey. Going to Milan, Italy with IES was the best decision I have every made in my entire life. I truly was pushed out of my comfort zone unlike any other experience in my life. I met new people and was immersed in a new culture. The location was fantastic and the program was so helpful. I grew ex..."

"I learned more in my four months abroad about myself, from my classes, and from my travels than I have in my whole life prior.

"I specifically chose this program because of its focus on language immersion and I got just that. All classes were taught in German and the professors presented material effectively and were willing to help if someone was confused. My German improved dramatically and I made local German friends. This experience was definitely ..."
A student Northwestern University
"Studying Abroad in Rabat was one of the most profound experiences of my life. The experiences I had and the things I learned I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. I wouldn't trade that time for anything."
Chance L Tulane University
"My experience was SO worthwhile. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I definitely would. I learned how to plan a trip, how to cook my own meals, how to create a successful and healthy daily routine and so many other things. I learned so much about myself and how to survive independently in a new, foreign location. "
Jessie D Connecticut College
"For me, the real experience was in walking along the Thames in the evening, meeting a movie star at the London Film Festival in Leicester Square, riding the Piccadilly Line to get to a theatre production of Once on Shaftesbury Avenue, sketching in the National Gallery, hearing someone say ‘Cheers!’ when I sign a receipt at Nando..."

Kelsey K Illinois Wesleyan University
"The first couple of weeks I was there the most challenging part was to find my way around, remembering how to get from the building I was hosted at to school, to the groceries stores, or to restaurants; being used to a small university campus, I found it relatively hard to live in a very busy city. This experience however turned..."
