Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I learned to be much more self reliant and independent"
Abby M The University of Texas at Austin
"Worthwile is a huge understatement. I can not wait to return to France."
Brianna L Claremont McKenna College
"Studying abroad was definitely fun, but I wouldn't really coin it as a life changing experience. Honestly it really just felt like a glorified vacation. It was a blast, don't get me wrong, but the University was easy, and I didn't really face too many great challenges that I had to overcome."
William N Austin College

Juan Pablo V Trinity University
"My study abroad experience has motivated me to find jobs or pursue further education abroad.

Gabriela L Trinity University
"100%"
Aimee V Trinity University
"My abroad experience was worth every penny and ounce of stress. As cliche as it sounds, it changed me forever because I gained a new outlook on life: enjoy it. It allowed me to see part of the world that I may never get the chance again to see (Italy, Paris, Morocco, Munich, etc.) and taught me how amazing life can be. "

Christine J Wellesley College
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I only wish I had done it sooner in my college career so I could do another study abroad program (preferably a whole semester). It was exhilarating living in a different country with a completely different culture and challenging your own comfort levels. I think we have a lot..."
Lauren V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I tried to stay in Freiburg as much as possible, since i didn't want to spend money on too much travel, but i did get to go to so many places and understand the culture better. At the end of the trip, I had set up a meeting with an 8th grade class an hour from Freiburg in the Black Forest, and ..."
Ariel D DePauw University
"I would highly recommend this program to anyone-I wish I could have stayed longer!"
Anna L Emory University
"Absolutely worthwhile. I learned things that I never expected about living in other parts of the world. Understanding other cultures and how similar the most different places are to home. I met people from all over the world and some just from Seattle. The people are the best part, the friends are unforgettable and have changed ..."
Kathryn G Pacific Lutheran University
"Yes. "
Claire J DePauw University

Betty C DePauw University
"My world-view was positively impacted as well as my appreciation for other world cultures. I have a strong desire to travel and teach abroad."
Bethany M University of Denver
"I learned a lot about myself. I learned about my personal traits through group interaction, what I'm willing to give up and what I'm not. I learned about my weaknesses and conquered some of my fears. I also learned about stuff I still need to work on, personally. Study abroad did change my future plans, slightly. I know I w..."
Jennifer E Trinity University
"Yes, I did not want to leave."
James K The University of Texas at Austin
"I have become a more focused, confident and active student because of it. I gained a better understanding on how to live my life, which is to say, I gained a more Spanish outlook on life, which is to follow what makes you happy, and if it isn't making you happy, leave it behind. I plan to move back to Granada at some point. "
Daniel B Tulane University
"I understand that I know very little about Japan and must go back to learn more."
Timothy H Austin College
"It was very worthwhile. It was life changing! The only reason why my experience is not a five globe rating is my disappointment with the housing and services provided by IES for the cost of the program. Also, I would have liked to meet more Dutchies, but I cannot attribute that entirely to IES. Traveling opened my eyes eve..."
