Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"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..."
Alana S Tufts University
"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!"
Clare S University of Rochester
"Yes. The music scene there is great. The people in my program were cool."
Andrew L Harvard University
"It was so much fun and I definitely advise going abroad at least once in your college career. I definitely learned a lot about the Spanish culture and even myself."
Soo Jin P Harvard University
"I feel that Italian is my second culture now. I have adopted it and it is part of my everyday life. I would like to be able to use my language skills in future jobs and I have already done so since returning. I have incredible nostalgia for Rome and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about my experience abroad. Th..."
Carolina S Rhodes College
"I gained a deeper appreciation for the Italian people and culture. This appreciation and understanding furthered my love for other cultures and my desire to explore and experience various cultures and lifestyles."

Natalie Y The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes."
Lyndsey R The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying abroad is absolutely worthwhile. Not only do you get to study in a totally different atmosphere from your home university, you also get to learn to be independent and live on your own away from home. You learn things about yourself and make some of the most incredible friends while you are abroad, and I believe everyone..."
Stephen B Indiana University - Bloomington
"YES!!!"
Christi D The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was definitely worthwhile! Accommodations were great, socially it was a blast and to be honest, there is nothing better than being in Rome. I had access to Florence and Venice as well as flying abroad. My only difficulty was that the Italian class was not in a style I enjoyed, and the Roman history class was not as..."
Debra F Brandeis University
"Of course! Language improvement. Made many international friends. Learned many interesting things about central Europe and European culture. Had an opportunity to see the real differences between cultures. Taught me that many more things exist in the world than I could/have actually imagined."
Chris18 Austin College
"Going abroad has made me a little spoiled. Now I want to travel everywhere. Anytime I hear about an abroad opportunity I want to take it. I actually plan on doing a summer abroad program now. It made me so much more confident and aware of the world around me. Best choice of my life."
Stephanie S Anonymous University
"I learned spanish"
Mike B Ithaca College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained an appreciation for other cultures as well a stronger appreciation for America. I definitely want to travel more when I am older and see more of Europe. This trip showed me that I can do anything that I set my mind to whether in America or abroad. "
Maia R Ithaca College
"Since returning I have continued to learn Spanish. I learned to be more open minded when dealing with people and situations. "

"Changed my life"
Julie M Ithaca College
"I have gained a more global perspective and have grown more independent."
Michelle M Ithaca College

Shayna D Ithaca College
"IT was worthwhile. I learned Spanish but more importantly about the culture in Spain. I want to go back as soon as I can."
