Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I am much more calm now; I've learned to prioritize and see big picture, making coming back to small-school drama very difficult. While some would avoid an experience abroad with so many Americans, I learned a lot about myself by being around so many people with similar tastes for travel and exploration. I wouldn't change a thin..."

Morgan K Trinity University
"I have a more "worldly" view of America and other cultures. Going abroad is wonderful because it really puts things in perspective and you realize that Americans don't rule the world like we think we do. I loved living in France, meeting French people, and living life the French way. It's different, some things good and others b..."
Ashley S Trinity University

"I'll be returning in the summer."
jacob b Tulane University
" I had studied Japanese for years, starting in Junior High School. I had always wanted to visit Japan and it took 6 years to finally do so. It may just be me, but I was familiar enough with the culture, food, etc, that I didn't really go through the culture shock. In fact, the more I learned and experienced the life there, the m..."
Daniel W Pennsylvania State University - University Park

Kritika D The University of Texas at Austin
"yes"
Carrie C The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much from this experience. I grew more independent and learned that I could live on my own in a different country. I never got home sick, that's how much I loved being here. I would actually love to stay in New Zealand if I had a different career goal. I have grown to be a more relaxed, open-minded, independent,..."
Shalvi P The University of Texas at Austin
"I wish I could have stayed abroad longer. It really changed my life and I wish I could go to other places in the world, and not be a tourist."
Michael H University of Rochester
"I loved almost every moment of it and I still love it. I have another semester to go and I am looking forward to it! I still don't understand parts of the culture, but I like it all the same, its an adventure to go out there and find new bits and pieces of the culture that you have never seen before."
Vong L University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"All in all, the study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. Aside from learning from distinguished professors and language instructors, I was also able to take in all of Tokyo in a short while. This was thanks to our strategic placement, useful assistants, and overall efficiency of the program. I definitely recommend i..."
Anish T University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"Definitely"
Liana D The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained increased langauage abilities. Overall everything was beyond what I expected. The city is wonderful, I love Spain, and being there while the World Cup was going on was incredible. "
Ethan T The University of Texas at Austin
"I wouldn't say it opened my eyes or was culturally enriching, but I did have a great time getting to see a part of the world that I otherwise might not have ever seen. I didn't learn how to be a better global citizen, but I did notice cultural differences among the different countries I visited, and how they view tourists."
Kevin R The University of Texas at Austin
"Te experience itself was amazing and I would do it all over again if I could but I would not choose IES."
Diandra P Trinity University
"Definately. I would go abroad again in a heartbeat. Especially to Ireland - I think I fell in love with the place. I had friends that had gone abroad before, and after having gone myself, I know exactly what they were talking about when they said I would not regret the decision!"
James W Trinity University
"Very worthwhile, language, independence, food, maturity"
