Study Abroad with IFSA

Melissa R Trinity University
"I learned how to be independent! I learned how to travel alone, explore cities alone, and be happy being alone. I spent plenty of time with friends and socializing, but being away from my good friends back home meant I had to both make new friends and be contented being by myself. This, I believe, is a valuable life lesson. "
A student Cornell University
"I became way more outgoing, patient, and adventurous. For the changes I can see in myself daily since I've been home, it was definitely worthwhile. "

Sawyer H Oregon State University
"I gained a lot of independence and adaptability. I feel comfortable making a choice to move further away and am even thinking internationally now for my future. It was definitely worthwhile and I would encourage all students to try their hardest to study abroad."

A student Susquehanna University
"I learned how to be adaptable and open-minded to much more than what I was previously accustomed to.

A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about the ability to go on adventures by myself because I was in control of what I wanted to gain from my experience abroad.

Tina N Brandeis University
"My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile. I absolutely loved living in such a culturally diverse city and have made great friends from around the world.

A student College of the Holy Cross
"Australia was a really fun time, but unfortunately, I look back on it in a negative light because of the way IFSA Butler handled an academic misunderstanding. It was worthwhile in terms of life experience, but not worth the destruction of my GPA, which I had spent years building just to have IFSA Butler wreck it by stubbornly re..."
A student Wesleyan University
