Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"My experience abroad was very worthwhile. It was an amazing experience to live in a foreign country for a semester. Although it was daunting to think about living somewhere new, speaking a different language, and making new friends, it was all so much fun and really pushed me out of my comfort zone. "
Melissa G University of St. Thomas - Minnesota
"I think I gained a lot of empathy and understanding from my experience abroad. Visiting versus living in a different place give you two different perspectives and I think studying abroad is something that everyone should do to be able to fully experience another culture other than their own. I think that studying abroad was 100%..."

"I learned a lot about different cultures around Europe, not just the Netherlands. Although I have been throughout Europe before this trip, having been able to take it all in within a short period of time was so beneficial as you see the subtle differences of each country. Now, oddly, I want to move to Europe for my Masters educa..."

A student University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"Don't be afraid to lead your own path. Don't be a follower, do what you want to do. I am now much more independent and confident because I stepped out of my comfort zone frequently."
Max H Indiana University - Bloomington
"Besides the enriching academic knowledge I gained, my experience abroad taught me more about what I want out of life, how to get outside of my comfort zone, and how to improve my work-life balance. All of these lessons have been carried with me even beyond my experience abroad, and I would whole-heartedly say it was all worthwhi..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Being abroad opened my eyes to how big the world is in many ways, but it also made the world seem small too.

Being abroad really boosted my self-confidence because while moving to a new place and making new friends ..."
