Study Abroad with IFSA
"It was definitely worthwhile. You learn a lot about independence and taking care of yourself both physical and mentally. Because IFSA does not have any "host families", you are essentially a "regular" full time student. Students can design their study abroad experience however they want. "
A student Hamilton College

Emma Lee Nelson Berea College
"As someone who wants to have an international career, I learned that I definitely would love to work in Latin America in the future due its to warm and welcoming culture. It was worthwhile because I felt comfortable to make mistakes and grow, which might have not been possible in other locations. It was just enough to get me out..."
Erin Harris Bowdoin College
"Since I did a bit of traveling, I gained a lifetime of memories with new friends. I tried new foods, was exposed to a variety of languages and cultures and learned how to be independent and self-sufficient. I wouldn't give this experience back for anything. I only wish I got to stay longer. "
William Estony Trinity College
"I was able to complete my religion minor in a city of such complex religious and political conflict, and was able to travel to incredibly historic places throughout Ireland and the UK. I learned so much from meeting local people, travelling with other students, and developing my cross cultural skills. "
A student Luther College
"I learned a lot about making friends, which sounds super cheesy. I had to make an entirely new set of friends, and it was scary at first, but I think I am so much better at talking to people now than I was before! I even feel that I am much more comfortable talking in front of a crowd as well, like I am more confident than I was..."

LizaMarie Jimenez-Ojeda DePauw University
"I really grew as a student and as a person. This experience allowed me to learn more than just what is taught in the classroom.

I most definitely think it was worthwhile because studying abroad in a country that is not your ..."

A student Middlebury College
"I feel like I have made full use of my time in London because I went to explore the city almost everyday, and I made lots of friends in UCL.

"I learnt how to embrace and immerse myself in a new culture. It is very worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned that though the world is so much bigger than I thought it was, so many people from all over share the same values as me. Who would have thought that given the space and time I could be friends with people from Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia, Germany, Canada, Turkey, and more. I will forever be grateful ..."
A student Brandeis University
"Functioning semi-independently; being exposed to new strains of thought in conversations with local and international students. Very student oriented and could have been a much worse experience had I not met the right people."
A student Brandeis University

A student Brandeis University
"It was incredibly worthwhile. I expanded my academic knowledge, and gained personal confidence and independence."
Helena Essex Pomona College
"I greatly improved my Spanish and learned about the Mexican/Yucatecan culture. I also had a lot of time to look back at how I was living my life and make decisions on if I was going in the direction that I truly wanted, as opposed to what I thought I wanted based on what society convinced me I wanted.
