Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"My Spanish definitely got a lot better and I was forced to learn how to be independent. It was definitely worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned my passion for languages (I really miss hearing other languages in stores or on the streets) and I learned to become much more independent. I learned how to navigate public transportation as well as traveling to other countries without assistance. I gained a new perspective on American culture and on European culture..."
A student Trinity University

"I learned so much about the culture and language. It was definitely worth it!"
Rafael F University of the Pacific
"I enjoyed my Latin American Politics class and my Cultural Studies class, but I found the overall program lacking when it came to cultural immersion.

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was more than worthwhile! Going abroad more than anything opened my mind to the fact they are so many other experiences and opportunities available to me I knew nothing about previously. Looking back, I feel like I used to live in a little America bubble and knew little to nothing about other countries as much as I hate to ad..."

Inés R Trinity University
"First of all, my German language skills improved drastically, though I still wish I had spoken more.

It was completely worthwhile,..."
