Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"more Spanish skills, irreplaceable friends, travel experience"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I think I learned a lot about people from my experience abroad. Initially I was very hopeful that I would make lots of friends abroad, but found that not to be the case. The majority of the student body was very forgettable and uninteresting and only interested in partying in Europe, and so I didn't gell with a lot of students, ..."
A student Trinity University
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I was so sad to leave. I made great friends, ate great food and learned a lot--not just in class, but from a new daily pattern that I got used to. "
Karen A Tufts University
"I learned that this world is an incredible, scary, challenging, beautiful, complex place. That people are good at heart. I learned many things about myself which I intend to keep tucked carefully away, in a safe place where I shall always remember them. I learned the beginnings of a whole new language, and began to understand ho..."
A student Trinity University
"Yes, it was very worthwhile. I learned how to acclimate to city life, make connections with locals, balance work and travel"
A student Trinity University

Aubrey L Drake University
"I learned a lot about myself and what I want to do after college"
Mary Kate C Providence College
"Yes. Not only did I have a boatload of fun the entire time I was in Buenos Aires, but I learned some valuable perspective from living abroad and spending a solid amount of time with people from a different part of the world. You learn so much about politics, economics, "society," and international relations in general when you..."
Chris G Davidson College
"Yes, but I wish I researched the program more ahead of time."
Chad M Indiana University - Bloomington
"Learned that I actually enjoy learning and speaking new languages. I have become more aware and accepting of cultural differences, from visiting diffierent countries and seeing so many tourists in Paris. I learned how to travel by myself and navigate a new city, and learn to explore the city I am living in. Pretty much learned..."

"I have gained important experiences here, but feel like I learned more about physical Ecuador (the countryside, mountains, etc.) than the people of Ecuador. "
Anne R Providence College
"Changed me in more ways that I would have imagined. Opened my eyes to the rest of the world, and made me fall in love with one place specifically"
Kristen P Providence College
"Studying abroad has helped me to gain confidence in myself, my abilities, and my goals for the future. I am considering returning to Vienna soon to continue pursuing these goals."
Eliza M Providence College
"absolutely, i am more comfortable with myself."
Steph K Providence College
"I am a much more understanding, patient, and confident person from this experience. My study abroad experience was defined by the abroad portion rather than the study part. Just getting to class was a new experience. There is a difference between traveling to different countries and living in a new country. Living in Vienna, I w..."
Meaghan O Ithaca College
"It was worth it to go abroad. I think learning a different language and experiencing a different culture it something everyone needs to do. "
Bentley H Tufts University
"n/a"
A student
"I learned a lot about Spain's economy and cultures, and after having lived in a city with 25% unemployment, I better understand what I read in the papers about Spain's financial crisis and how it effects the citizens. I learned that their values are shared and different from ours, along with their views on religion, education, ..."
Miranda L Tulane University
"My experience was definitely worthwhile. I loved bonding with a French family and I now have a special understanding of their culture. The program also forced me to become more adventurous. It gave me more confidence that I could live in France longer-term if I wanted to."
