Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"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 made friends that will last a lifetime in this program and I'm so grateful to have had this experience. I wouldn't trade those four months for anything and if I could I would do it all again in a sec..."

"I specifically chose this program because of its focus on language immersion and I got just that.

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..."

"This was the best of experience of my life so far. I have learned so much not only about France and its culture, but also about myself. I feel that this experience allowed me to grow personally and to truly analyze what I want out of life and where I wish to take my studies. "
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..."
Mada V University of Rochester

Katrina K Texas Christian University
"I learned how to be confident in my Spanish, about a totally new culture, and how to see the world with new eyes. Living my entire life in America gave me a narrow perspective on the world and now I feel like I understand people, culture, and the world better. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! "

"The program was extremely informational and educative. I learned a lot from the classes that I took and I think that in general, the people on my program were highly knowledgeable as well.

Sam S Hope College
"My favorite thing about IES Rome was the amount of field studies incorporated into our daily classes. At least 3 times a week, our professors would take us to a site in Rome for a two hour class on what we were seeing. I saw museums, monuments, archeological sites, and even villas all during class time. Seeing the typical sites ..."

"I learned how to be adaptable. I easily adapted and immersed into a new culture, a new language, and a completely new style of life which I soon called one of my own. I made tons of friends and shared many memories that I will remember forever and have left behind remnants of a place that is another home to me. "
Nina H Bowdoin College
"Nantes is a beautiful city and I think a great place to study abroad if your goal is to improve your language skills. While people do speak English to you on occasion, I found it to be true far less in Nantes than in other areas of France. Living in a host family is a key part to this program. The opportunity to take classes at ..."
