"yes definitely"

"Yes! After being abroad and having such a positive experience, my partner and I plan on moving back to Spain for at least a year after graduating college.

Sophie D University of Puget Sound
"You don't realize how little you understand another culture until you're immersed in it. I feel much more aware of the culture in Japan now than before. I know now that I want to teach in Japan and maybe even attend graduate school there. "

Emily W The University of Texas at Austin
"All my French friends said I know more about Paris than they do. I was able to visit old monuments and countless museums. I leanred why the French are so prideful (because of their rich cultural background). I fell in love with the people and the city and am moving back there to teach English. "

"I can't imagine my life if I hadn't studied abroad. It was wonderful. It made me more independent and taught me more about another culture with which I fell in love."
Corley S Harvard University
"What I realized most studying abroad in Granada was that Spanish people (and probably a lot of non-Americans) are much more relaxed. And I've been trying to adopt some of that into my life to enjoy life more and be less stressed. It's a beautiful thing."
Morgan F Occidental College
"Study abroad helped me learn more about myself and the world in 5 months than I had in 20 years. I am more aware of cultural sensitivities and mores as well as what I am capable of doing on my own since studying abroad."
Gus B Purdue University
"Yes. I saw amazing things and things I'd never seen before. It was beautiful and very fun."
Alex L Harvard University
"Studying abroad was the most valuable experience I could have ever asked for. I came home to the United States with a new feeling of independence and satisfaction. I learned that I can handle being on my own for long periods of time and can make friends abroad. Having studied abroad, I've found a new love for traveling and would..."
Olivia C Texas Christian University
"It was the most formative academic experience for me in terms of defining my future/career goals and plans. I know I want to keep travel and Spanish speaking skills as part of my future plans, and I value cultural and people skills much more strongly for any potential career than I did before studying abroad. I am hoping to re..."

"I loved my time with IES-Dublin so much! I learned so much about myself during my time abroad! I know now where I want to focus with my future career path because of my internship experience. I also know that I MUST get back to Ireland as soon as possible! I loved it so much, and it felt like home! As soon as I get enough money ..."
Mindy S Purdue University
"I like putting myself outside my comfort zone and seeing how comfortable I can make myself. From Auckland I learned that even though they do speak my language, I have a lot to learn about their history and aboriginal culture. The people were adventurous and happy, and it made me want to live there!"
