Anya Kenyon College
"Even though I had no previous German experience, I was set on going to Vienna which became one of the best decisions for me. IES has a great program that suited my academic needs, while keeping their system Americanized for familiarity's sake. There were plenty of interesting classes (taught in both English and German) to choose..."
Clara Yetter Kenyon College
"I got a lot out of my trip. As a History and Asian Studies major, this really solidified all my learnings. It gave me a new way to think about caste, gender, religion, and environment in India. It definitely wasn't what I imagined, but the experience taught me a lot about Tamil culture as well as myself. "
A student Kenyon College
"I felt like I learned a lot about Irish culture, and American culture in turn, by comparison. I also feel miles more independent."
Joseph Schutz Kenyon College
"I learned that listening is more important than speaking. The more I listened to Moroccans, the better I understood their diverse cultures and experiences. My experience abroad was certainly worthwhile."
Muhammed Asad Hansrod Kenyon College
"I leave Denmark with a real understanding that the American way of life is only one way of doing things amongst a wide swath of cultures who have completely different standards. American life is so dominant that it can be easy to overlook the fact that other people lead happy and fufilling lives according to a completely differ..."
Aaron Salm Kenyon College
"IES Abroad Granada allowed me to become a more confident, worldly individual. Going abroad put me outside of my comfort zone, and I'm very grateful for that. In Granada, I became familiar with a new and beautiful culture, fell in love with art and architecture and dance, made some amazing new friends, and learned how to cook exc..."
A student Kenyon College
"I learned that no matter how much you learn about a culture or a country, nothing compares to actually being able to experiencing it first hand. I am also amazed at how our similarities and differences unite us in such way that without realizing it, you feel like you could belong anywhere, and that our understanding of one anoth..."
Houda E Kenyon College
"The most important things I took away from my experience were a number of friends from different countries and a new appreciation for a different pace of living. I gained the first by joining an Ultimate Frisbee team and by being active in the social scene, and the second simply by walking around Salamanca and enjoying its beaut..."
Alex P Kenyon College
"My study abroad experience was completely worth while. I was exposed to an entirely new culture, my language skills improved greatly, and I was able to witness and be a part of relationship structures unique to the Middle East. "
A student Kenyon College
"Mastery of a language, a host of new friends (many of whom I consider family), and a different adventure every day. I couldn't have asked for more."
A student Kenyon College

A student Kenyon College
"I improved my Spanish, made great friends, learned a lot about other cultures. It was definitely a worthwhile experience."
Maggie S Kenyon College
"Yes, my experience on SEA Semester: The Global Ocean C-255 was worthwhile. I gained leadership experience, confidence, and friends for life. I learned how to coil and hang the deck, the magic of flamenco dance, how to hail super tankers, how to plot a point, and quite a bit more."
A student Kenyon College
"This experience was so incredibly worthwhile-- I really think everyone should go. It is fascinating to see a place so different from the U.S., to see the way the school system is structured, the way shops are built, the extensive food culture of China... It made me so much more confident in myself and also very independent. I ..."
Kelsey H Kenyon College
"This was without a doubt the most incredible experience of my life; it better informed my global perspective, improved my language skills, and taught me how to handle issues in ways I had never learned to before. I knew before I left that I had always wanted to become fluent in Chinese, but spending a semester in Beijing truly b..."
Kristen P Kenyon College
"I learned so much about myself while studying in Panama. I became more confidant and open to trying new experiences. I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to study abroad and would definitely go back. "
A student Kenyon College
"Yes. I am so grateful to have participated in SEA! While I learned a lot about the ocean and the Caribbean, I learned more about myself and the ways in which I inhabit the world. "
A student Kenyon College
"My experience in Morocco was certainly worthwhile and it prepared me for future opportunities with travel and using the Arabic language. "

"Everywhere, humans are humans. The other things I learned cannot be expressed in a paragraph. The experience was very worthwhile and I am so happy I went."
Max D Kenyon College
