I think that studying abroad was 100%..."

"I gained so much more perspective. This was my first time overseas, so it changed my whole world view. I learned that things are so different in other countries, and that seeing the same country your whole life is not beneficial. It made me feel so lucky to get to see the world, and it was beyond worthwhile. "

"The Iceland program, in my opinion, offers the most exposure to renewable and clean energy. The entire country runs on clean energy and has harvested their natural resources in a very efficient manner. We were able to attend classes taught by working professionals who had unique insides into the industry. This program offers a v..."

"SO MANY THINGS. How to be independent. What self-care looks like. Where I find my identity. About my faith. How important it is to be uncomfortable. What it means to be culturally aware. I could go on and on, but in short it was absolutely worthwhile."
Mikaela Purdue University
"My semester studying abroad at University of Canterbury through IES Abroad was one long road trip, both literally and figuratively speaking. Literally, it was a semester full of spontaneous weekend (and weekday, sometimes) road trips. These trips taught me so much about myself, about others, and about this incredible, diverse co..."

As a group, CAPA took us on a trip to the Blue Mountains and a wildl..."

After traveling and seeing how other people live and interact w..."

Traveling was ..."
