Study Abroad with IFSA
"There are all kinds of people, everywhere. The people I've met here taught me a lot of things about people/life/the world."
A student Brandeis University
"It was completely worthwhile! I believe I learned things that can never be taught in a classroom and gained valuable life experience "
Bethany S Trinity University
"I gained a great understanding of the world and myself. It was very worthwhile. The program was awesome and helpful, I may have chosen another university through the program though"
Matthew D Trinity University
"I learned a lot about the history of Peru, which is probably history I wouldn't have learned otherwise. I learned a lot of different worldly perspectives on issues like race and gender and socialism vs. capitalism (to name a few). I also learned that I can adapt to new situations even if they're not ideal for me."
A student Trinity University
"Independence, Broader view of the world "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to be much more independent. I also, met people from all over the world and it made me realize how much larger the world actually is. "
Jesse G Trinity University
"Improved my speaking, reading, and writing abilities significantly; introduced me to the local culture like I've seen it before; had an amazing time traveling the country and Asia. "
michael.leung.5872 Brandeis University

Daniel D Trinity University
"Lots of language progress. But also lots of fun. Also completed a capstone project, and LOTS of travel around China (my favorite part of the whole experience)."
A student Wellesley College
"Gained new language skills, a degree of independence and sufficiency. It was one of the best experiences I've had."
A student Wellesley College
"With every experience like this you are going to learn so much about yourself , and the world around you. "
Claire I Trinity University
"I learned about myself. I learned how to be content with being on my own and adjust to new situations. I also learned how to make decisions in frustrating or even scary situations. "
Jordan S The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I think I'll still be figuring out what exactly I learned from the experience long after my return date because it's given me a new, different perspective on my experiences before, during, and after the program. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much about myself, my studies, and the differences and similarities between American culture and British culture. I was enrolled in the chemistry department, so I was able to compare different learning styles in my concentration of study, which was a really rewarding experience. I loved living in London and going ..."
A student Austin College
"I learned so much about myself and how to get to know others. I could go on for pages about what I've learned, and it was one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life. I can't believe that it all actually happened - I met so many great people and had the best time in an extraordinarily gorgeous country - I feel like it was ..."
Jamie W Austin College
"Ultimately you only get out of an experience what you put in. My time in London was worthwhile because I made sure it would be. I connected to local art and culture communities that kept me busy and learning. "
Malika I Brandeis University
"To live life as is with all minor details, instead of focusing on the pig picture. Was it worthwhile...not even a question!"
Karina A Brandeis University
"Too much to put into words here. The Irish are the greatest people in the world. It was beyond worthwhile - I wish I was still there. "
Carley C Brandeis University
"I gained a wealth of knowledge about myself and I made the best group of friends I could ever ask for. It was the best thing I could have ever decided to do. I do not regret any part of it one bit."

A student Brandeis University
"I gained an understanding of other cultures and of my personality"
A student Fordham University
"I learned a lot academically but not too much culturally"
A student Brandeis University

A student Trinity University

A student Brandeis University
"I learned a great deal about myself and my own abilities. The independence was invigorating, and every day was a learning experience. I messed up a few times, but I was always able to recover quickly and adapt. I would do it all over again, if I could. Can I? Is that an option?"
