Study Abroad with IFSA
"I gained an entirely new perspective on life. I had never been outside of the USA before this study abroad program, and it completely opened my eyes to not only a new culture, but to the world in general. Some of my greatest experiences came from the traveling that was included in the program. I'll never forget the weekend trip ..."
Jessica W Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
"Yes it was very worthwhile, and I learned a lot about political structure and the effects that a dictatorship vs. a democracy can have on a country. I also learned a lot about the people of Argentina and can speak much better Spanish, and I can get around almost anywhere by myself, especially if English or Spanish are spoken."
Danielle S Tulane University
"It was a great experience, I made friends in Chile that I hope to last a lifetime. I also succeeded in my goal of having a fun semester and learning Spanish."
Garrett R Vassar College
"It was most definitely worthwhile. I gained a greater world view and much more independence, all while taking classes and researching in another language. I understand myself a lot better now and know what I can and can't handle."
Melissa M Providence College
"YES. I loved it. I feel more confident and smarter because of it. I would do it all over again."
Courtney N Rice University
"Yes "
Caitlin G Providence College
"It was an incredible experience to be able to see Europe at such length. Weekend trips to other countries and an extended spring break trip really allowed me to see tons of Europe."
Adam N Vanderbilt University
"Yes, it was a fantastic experience. The courses were challenging and interesting. People native to Galway are extremely friendly and almost always willing to sit for 5 minutes and chat. Galway is also a great central location to travel around Ireland and throughout Europe. "
Kevin G Amherst College
"YES! Loved it!"
Sara E Tufts University
"Studying abroad at the University of Melbourne was completely worthwhile. I had the most unforgettable experience. The classes I took while abroad were all very educational and taught by wonderful professors. I just love the city of Melbourne and can't wait to get back there!"
Steph S Drake University
"It was definitely worthwhile! It showed me a lot of what it means to not only be an American, but also how we have such an Isolationist attitude. I realized how to better understand things from a global perspective by seeing it from another viewpoint."
Danielle M Rice University
"spanish, friends, culture, a love for valparaíso"
Lisa P Tulane University
"I certainly made the right choice in choosing to study abroad in Buenos Aires and I feel as though I got the most out of what the city had to offer. However, I often felt tied down by all of the work required in this particular program. My main goal was to improve my Spanish and I accomplished that but it would have been nice ..."

"Yes. I gained experience and knowledge"
Colden J Providence College
"I learned so much about so many different countries. This was pretty much my first time in Europe so getting to live in Ireland was amazing. I was also able to travel to other countries during some of the school breaks, which was definitely worthwhile! "

"My study abroad experience was very worthwhile. I gained so many different friends, that I would have never met if I never studied abroad. I gained self confidence in regards to meeting new people and traveling and a new self of independence. It was a great experience."
Jessica B Providence College
"The study abroad experience was worth every bit i put into it (energy, money, stress,thought,etc). What i gained from it was independence, knowledge , friends, understanding of a whole new culture, chances of a life time. Most importantly, a whole new outlook on life."
civ. eng. University of Hartford
"My study abroad experience was literally the time of my life. I was exposed to different teaching styles and a different culture. I met some really great people and was able to experience other parts of Europe as well, since its fairly inexpensive to travel around the continent there. Europe is definitely more student-friendly a..."

"Absolutely. Besides making new friends, it was interesting to see things from the British perspective. And I was able to do a lot of traveling."
Matthew K Tufts University
"It was the greatest year of my life, which I know is a cliche, but it's completely true. I made amazing friends, grew tremendously as a student, and it reinforced my desire to continue on my current career path. Oxford will teach you to become a different kind of student, and one that you really can't become at an American uni..."

"My experience in Melbourne changed my concept of quality of life. It made me realize the value of constantly exploring, appreciating the outdoors, and engaging in intercultural dialogue (which I had the opportunity to do every day given that I was the foreigner!) Studying abroad has impacted me so much, that I have devoted my ..."
