Audrey K Indiana University - Bloomington
"I got to see a perspective on topics like sustainability through the lenses of Germany. They approach sustainable development, eco-friendly lifestyles, and transportation so differently than I was used to. I got to see these things firsthand, which was awesome. Although I didn't use German a lot, I definitely improved my profici..."
Chloe B Indiana University - Bloomington
"Don't be afraid to lead your own path. Don't be a follower, do what you want to do. I am now much more independent and confident because I stepped out of my comfort zone frequently."

Isabel D Indiana University - Bloomington
"I learned so much about myself! While I have traveled to Mexico and Canada, I have never been abroad - much less by myself! I was so incredibly nervous to go to an entire different continent without knowing a single person; yet I made life-long friends and had the trip of a lifetime. "
Elizabeth M Indiana University - Bloomington
"While living in London, I also appreciated how diverse the city was and how open it was to cultures from all over the world! This was the most exciting part for me! In London, every neighborhood or borough was a touristy and niche with plenty of cultural boutiques and restaurants. I was also about 15 minutes away from Camden Mar..."

Nicholas I Indiana University - Bloomington
"I didn't really know what to expect when going into this program because it was my first time ever going abroad. I was super nervous about safety concerns abroad and the community in general. I had to learn how to be independent and spent a lot of time traveling. I think it was super worth it because I got a lot of insight into ..."
Jessica Yao Indiana University - Bloomington
"My Spanish skills (speaking, writing, reading and listening) all improved phenomenally! I now consider myself fluent. My public speaking skills and self confidence soared as well. "
A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"I learned that culture and perspectives are not better or worse in an ordinal system, they are just simply different. Do not judge in a ranking system but instead admire the differences and embrace them"
Marqui Indiana University - Bloomington
"The biggest thing I learned while abroad was to live in the present. At home I tend to always think about what I am going to do in the future or I get stuck in the past. Studying abroad showed me how to live in the moment and take time to "stop and smell the roses"."

"My time in Freiburg Germany over the summer of 2018 was one of the best experiences I have had. The IES program is extremely organized and the classes I attended were so interesting.

A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"I gained a lot of independence and learned how to fill my free time with things of purpose. This was the first time I had no clubs or requirements and could do anything I wanted. I utilized the time to find out what I am really passionate about, what makes me happy, and started to self-motivate myself to go out and do it without..."
Mary Claire Bassett Indiana University - Bloomington
"Most everyone that comes back from a semester abroad says that they have found their new "home" or their "favorite place," and at first I thought it was drab and clique, but lets face it, they're right. Studying abroad in Vienna, Austria truly fostered a love, appreciation, respect and longing for the culture, the people, the fo..."
Anna Holden Indiana University - Bloomington
"I gained confidence in myself and learned so much about myself and about another culture and country. I fell that it was incredibly worthwhile."
A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"Living in a culture that is dissimilar to my own taught me the importance of personal growth and understanding those around you.
