Study Abroad with IFSA
"I learned to manage my time well and I got to attend cool seminars and events at my host school and at the nearby schools"
A student Wellesley College
"Learned a lot about myself"
Shirley Washington and Lee University
"Study abroad taught me to be comfortable in my own skin, it taught me to be kind and patient and be my own person."
A student Rollins College
"I gained a new level of self confidence and indolence from traversing new and foreign cities on my own, I gained a greater appreciation for and understanding of the EU-- particularly Ireland and her history. "
Callie Ramsey Washington & Lee University
"100000% worth it. I gain a better perspective on the world and many cultures, while creating life long friendships!"
A student University of St. Thomas - Minnesota
"I gained a sense of freedom by being abroad in another country and being so far from anyone I knew. It was an incredible experience and was definitely worth while."
Shadeh Trinity University
"My Spanish improved dramatically and I gained a lot of confidence in my language abilities. I learned a lot about local culture and politics and how they're still recovering from Pinochet but are also very resilient. I also felt my first earthquake, so that was fun."
Jane Doyle Georgetown University
"I grew as a person and learned to be more independent, even though I was living with a host family. I met new people who I have continued to stay in contact with, learned about various cultures, learned about the environment and our impact, and learned who I was."
Nicholas Galinski American University
"I learned more than I can articulate about culture, language, food, and most importantly myself. It was a life changing experience as cliche as that might sound, but it's true. I am so glad I went!"
A student Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
"I gained more outdoor/hiking skills and a greater love for the outdoors. I also learned the importance of independence while in a new place. Sometimes, you have to learn how to be alone somewhere new, before you can learn to feel comfortable around others. It was most definitely worthwhile. "
Molly Bogin Wesleyan University
"Living in such an expensive place really helps you learn to budget. When you're abroad you're constantly thinking of where to travel to next, so budgeting definitely comes in handy! "
A student Brandeis University
"My Chinese improved extremely fast. I know that I will certainly work in Shanghai sometime in the future."
A student Wellesley College
"I let myself be a londoner, and I loved every second of it."
A student Brandeis University
"Absolutely worthwhile. I met all sorts of people and learned a lot about the world -- and America -- from them. I was also able to learn more about myself, too. It was sort of like living freshman year all over again, which sounds like a nightmare, but it gives you chance to explore something new about yourself, something you di..."
A student Brandeis University
"Very worthwhile! I became very independent"
Elizabeth Tilden Brandeis University
"I gained a world view. Before going abroad, I n"
Gregory McNeil Stevens Institute of Technology
"I learned so much more than I could ever put into words... definitely worth every penny"
Cady Wills Trinity University
"UK education system, learn more about UK culture"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot more about myself, as expected, what makes you tick, what you need vs what you want. What makes you happy, what drives you crazy. All in all I would do it all over again in a split second, wish I was there now. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to be more independent and how to adapt to unexpected circumstances (i.e. pushing a rental car up a hill and out of mud < but hey, I learned how to drive on the left side of the road!). I gained new friends, most with whom I hope to keep in touch. I would recommend study abroad to anyone who wants to grow and try n..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to be more independent and self-sufficient, to make new friends in a new context and to effectively network, and gained a new appreciation for the world around me. Fantastic experience overall."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained language experience and cultural awareness. Yes very worthwhile."
Abigail Howard Wellesley College
"Learned how to travel better. Further developed my independence. It was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Middlebury College
"The biggest things I learned were to be more independent (taking care of money, food, etc.) and to adapt to the new system of education."
A student Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile because it made me more confident and eager to speak Chinese."
A student Wellesley College
