Study Abroad with IFSA
"It was the best year. I grew a ton personally and am more independent and confident. I expanded my worldview and met so many people. It was amazing."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned that no matter how much you learn about a culture or a country, nothing compares to actually being able to experiencing it first hand. I am also amazed at how our similarities and differences unite us in such way that without realizing it, you feel like you could belong anywhere, and that our understanding of one anoth..."
Houda E Kenyon College
"I studied at the University of Limerick through IFSA-Butler and it was grand! UL is underrated in my opinion; great school, the academics are different but manageable, and the area is safe and close to the city (UL is technically in Castletroy). The IFSA-Butler staff in the U.S. and Ireland are extremely helpful and understandin..."
Danielle W Providence College
"LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS IS THE STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM YOU WANT I'M NOT KIDDING OK!!!!!! IT'S THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME. I MET SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM AND GALWAY IS THE GREATEST PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN. IF A CITY COULD SPEAK, GALWAY WOULD SAY, "LOOK NO FURTHER, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT HERE AND THE PEOP..."
Bean O DePaul University
"I gained a much broader view of the world, and learned how to be a global citizen. It was absolutely worthwhile!"
A student Susquehanna University
"It's more a matter of what I didn't learn, because I learned so much. Belfast is a great place to learn how to relate with others and understand everyone's perspective, given its history."
A student Vanderbilt University
"I learned so much about both life in China and life in a big city. I loved the fact that I could experience big city life and still gain an intimate understanding of Chinese culture at the same time! "

A student Smith College
"It was definitely worth while. I am more independent than I was before."
Abigail W Middlebury College
"Besides my significant gains in Chinese language ability, I also think the intensity of the programme and of living abroad for a significant amount of time in a very foreign culture and society gave me a lot of insight into myself and my personal strengths and weaknesses, along with insight into Chinese culture and society. It w..."
Adrian J Wheaton College, MA
"I learned how to be independent, adaptable, and appreciative."
Evan G Brandeis University
"Of course it was worthwhile, every decision we make it our lives is worthwhile because we learn from them... if someone regrets their decision or wishes they did something else, then they're blind to what they could have learned from their experience."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself who I am as a person and a friend. Getting thrown into an experience and learning how to be self-reliant was important for my personal development. It was worthwhile and while the classes were not the most intensive. I learned so much from my abroad experience and many of the memories I made help me ..."
A student Brandeis University
"Gained a sense of independence"
aaron h Brandeis University
"I learned so much about myself and how I want to spend my life. I learned that I will not truly be happy unless I go out and experience life and work hard towards what I want to achieve. It was definitely worthwhile."
