Study Abroad with IFSA
"Studying abroad in Chile opened my eyes to so many things. It really helped me grow as a person and has definitely shaped my future career plans. After traveling around South America and taking a class about environmental policy, I have now decided that I want to go on to get my Masters in Public Health and work in environment..."
Lauren B The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes definitely! Studying abroad is an amazing experience no matter where you go but Edinburgh is definitely unique. I learned a lot about Scotland and the UK from classes, travel and the people. I definitely want to travel more in the future."
Lisa Z Tufts University
"I assumed tremendous debt for this trip, and I don't regret it at all. I have come to appreciate my Fordham education so much more. Furthermore, living abroad with British students has profoundly changed me and my outlook on the world. I am more confident, independent, and brave for having lived abroad. I wouldn't trade my exper..."
Mary A Fordham University
"YES. I want to go back!"
Kelsey C The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to slow down and enjoy life, to actually listen when I talk to people, that the world is an amazing place. I learned that a lot of our preconceived notions about Latin America are completely wrong. I have fallen in love with South America, and while I will most likely not pursue a career or life there, I will no doubt ..."
Brian G DePauw University
"It was absolutely amazing. I already miss it and it's been less than 2 weeks since the program ended. It's so much fun and I learn so much about things I assume. In England, internet is NOT everywhere, there's not even internet in Starbucks, the only place with free wi-fi is McDonald's. Also there's a 1 GB bandwidth limit on int..."
Hongbo W Brandeis University
"Yes. I loved it. I traveled a lot, made great friends, and enjoyed learning there. It was a great balance of work, play, and travel. "
Amy W Wellesley College
"Even "bad" experiences are good experiences in that they show you what you value in life and help you create more informed opinions on a wide variety of topics, from your own preferences to world politics and economics."
Laura S Illinois State University
"I grew as a person. Through learning a new language and meeting my boyfriend, I've grown lightyears."
Cassidy C Columbia University
"It helped my language skills, my confidence, my understanding of a new culture,I want to go back and study more and hopefully work there for an extended period of time."
Rachel R Barnard College
"Definitely worthwhile."
Melissa W Providence College
"Completely and so immensely so, worhtwhile!"
Danielle D Providence College
"I loved it. I couldn't get enough. For me, it was mostly about the people I met. Of course, the course was fine and I learned that I really do want to go into design (so yes, it impacted my future plans), but I think what I took away from the experience was the friendships."
mm m Skidmore College
"I became more independent and mature. I loved being abroad in Europe and I would like to maybe volunteer or study abroad again during law school."
Kristen C Providence College
"Well, as I said in my course description, I'm now writing an honors thesis at my home university based on the British Constitution and what I learned in Professor Hazell's class. I am much more experienced as a traveler and thus am more confident in my abilities to go places on my own than I have been. I was able to see family..."
Allison B Ursinus College
"During my study abroad experience I learned more about myself and the things I enjoy that I may never have taken part in had I not gone abroad. I gained an understanding on the difference between American university life and university life in Ireland; as well as the different family traditions, and historical events. I loved th..."
Elaina L Shenandoah University
"My abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. The people I met and the places I went have impacted who I am and allowed to me to grow as a person. "
Mary Nora L Providence College
"yes. I loved Whitley and the community I formed here."
Angelica R Wellesley College
"I had a wonderful time, and made the best friends who I am planning to go spend a couple weeks now 2 years later. I loved Scotland, the people were so friendly. In Europe it was so easy to travel cheaply. I also took very interesting classes, film and literature that focused on scottish and british culture. I wish I could have s..."
Jen L Shenandoah University
"absolutely! i learned a lot about how to study and i'm more independent, and it prepared me for the busy senior year i have ahead of me"
Julia T Providence College
"Most definitely"
Paul S Providence College
"Absolutely"
Zack G Providence College
"It teaches you a lot about yourself, and about what you like in life and what you would like to do. It was an invaluable experience, but I would defeinitely reccommend going with a friend, and if you don't like to drink, and/or are involved in your faith community at home, don't expect to find that in Ireland. "
Kevin B Providence College
"This was the best time of my life. It is great because you get to meet a completely new set of friends from all over the world and learn a lot about a new culture. However, it is similar enough that you will not experience culture shock very much. I absolutely loved every minute of it. Make sure you go on One Fish Two Fish f..."
Michael K Trinity University
"Absolutely, I met the best friends and I plan to go back this summer. We did a lot of traveling once classes ended and it was awesome. "
