Study Abroad with IES Abroad

Kevin L University of California - Berkeley
"I lived abroad when I was younger, so I don't feel that my cultural awareness was heightened. I do feel like I learned a lot about myself, and there were a lot of days where it was really difficult. I caught the travel bug from this experience- it really expanded my curiosity about other ways of life."

Robert G Ithaca College
"I love it. I miss it. I want to go back. The people (teachers, students, staff, bakers, shop owners) are incredible. I made lasting friendships with my peers and with my Italian neighbors."

"I have always been interested in the Middle East and North Africa but you can't truly understand a culture till you leave there with the people and experience everyday life. "
Taylor C Trinity University
"Before going abroad I had no interest in the news or what was really going on in the rest of the world - I fell into the typical American trap of self-absorbency. Travelling and learning about these countries from a European perspective. Since then I have read the news everyday!"

"Of course, I have changed too many ways to list. It is a wonderful experience and I believe everyone who would like to be able to study abroad should be able to. My academic interests have stayed the same, however, personal interests have developed into thinking that there is a whole world outside the places that you're used to ..."
