Study Abroad with IFSA
"My study abroad experience was most definitely worthwhile! All I want to do now is travel and experience other cultures. "
Carly L Trinity University
"Self-dependence, strength, musical horizon expansion. "
Trey B Trinity University
"I have a new global perspective, and am more tolerant of differing ideas and opinions."
Christopher K Trinity University
"I came out a better person, knowing more about me and who I was and what I wanted from life. It helped show me the foreign world and how I want to spend much of my time in South American after medical school."
Krysta P The University of Texas at Austin
"YES. I'm looking into ways I can get back there for the summer!"
Megan C Trinity University
"I traveled to the country by myself without knowing anyone so that was an eye opening experience, but overall i met the most amazing people and if i had the money to go back, i would be back in a second. "
Jaclyn T Illinois State University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I gained a new perspective on both America's culture and Wellesley's educational system by learning about those of Australia and the University of Melbourne, and I value them both much more now because of that. I also ended up catching the travel fever- I've been considering work, study, and volunte..."
Rebecca R Wellesley College
"Yes it was so worth while i would give anything to go back!"
Danielle S Roger Williams University
"My experience in Chile was the best thing that every happened to me. I am now more independent and self confident and I feel if I am more of what I will call a "global citizen" with a more open-minded view on the world."
Anthony N DePauw University
"I had a ton of cultural awareness before i left. I didn't learn as much or enjoy myself as much as i expected. But that is just a personal issue and i believe many people enjoyed it greatly. I'm glad i went through with it though, because i did learn a lot of things about my own preferences in the social world."
Isaiah P Trinity University
"Definitely! "
Makenzie D Trinity University
"Yes, it taught me more about myself and my goals than continuing at my home university for four years alone. "

"100% worthwhile"
Robert R Tufts University
"yes."
Purushottam S Trinity University
"Very much so. "
O'Shaughnessy A Illinois State University
"I never really understood what "American" culture was until studying abroad. Talking with the Irish students and hearing their impression on America made me realize what the US means as a country-both the good and bad sides. "
Jacob R Trinity University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and how capable I am of dealing with unfamiliar situations and became much more confident in my independence, as well as learned about a different culture and way of life."
Claire P Western Washington University
"Completely worthwhile. I feel like in college you lose yourself amongst the large student bodies and organizations, but I found myself again in Argentina. I'm so grateful for this experience and it will always be one of my greatest memories."
Aftyn B The University of Texas at Austin
"I've mellowed out during my experience abroad and have come into my own. And I loved my host country! I'm now thinking about possibly working there in a few years. "
Whitney R Trinity University
"Yes the experience was worthwhile. I got a new understanding of what it was like living in a new culture. One of the national languages may have been English but there were so many differences between New Zealand English and USA English. This experience made me aware that I would like to go abroad and visit so many other countri..."
Rachel P Trinity University
