Lucy McNamara Simmons University
"The experience is so worthwhile, especially as a Marketing major because it broadened my horizons on international marketing and advertising. I became more independent and confident from studying abroad. I learned so much more Chinese in China than I would have at my home university!"
Esther Kim Simmons College

"My study abroad experience in Milan through IES Abroad was fantastic. My goals before studying abroad were to make friends with Italian students and learn to speak the language. I had taken 4 semesters of Italian before studying abroad, however my Italian greatly improved through my Advanced Italian class. I felt comfortable get..."
Caitlyn Gemma Simmons College
"I felt like I grew both academically and socially. I worked one on one with a faculty member, having done this gives me confidence to come back to Simmons and interact more with my professors. Also the program forced me to step out of my comfort zone. I was the only Simmons student in the four week research program and had to re..."
Mary Matthews Simmons College

"Learned a lot about healthcare in Ireland/the world from the class; also learned how to have strong street sense especially in a foreign country"
A student Simmons College
"I felt I gained some experience, although I wish Simmons had prepared us a bit more. I understand that it was the first time for Simmons to do this. But, for an example we had no idea until half way through the trip that we could purchase "Leap Cards" that would be a way cheaper alternative to taking the bus into the city of Dub..."
Mary Neidhardt Simmons College
"My time at UCD opened my eyes to other arts of the world. The class taught me things that I would have never had the opportunity to learn in the United States. Being open to learning different things and open to meeting new people will be you key to success in Dublin! "

"how to travel. it was my first time on a plane"
A student Simmons College
"It was very worthwhile! I have learned about health systems in different countries of Europe as well as in the US.

"The internship program was really helpful and I am grateful for the experience and I learned I would much rather work in Australia because of the laid back work culture and the benefits you get. "
A student Simmons College
"I met 20 life long friends, and travelled and learned about different cultures in Southeast Asia. I learned the mandarin language extensively through class, but I saw most improvement through the opportunity to use it daily when communicating with locals. "
Kimberly N Simmons College
"Through my experience abroad I gained a better understanding of the world, of Italy, and of the U.S. It made me reflect on our customs and traditions and especially the differences in our cultures. It has made me a better person and broadened my view of the world. It was 100% worth it."
A student Simmons College
"more confidence, you can have fun while learning. New friends and connection and it was worth every single penny I paid for that experience"
A student Simmons College
"The Health Practice and Policy program through IES Abroad in London was such an amazing opportunity. The courses that I took were relevant to my major and I gained some important skills while studying abroad. Not only did I learn from the academics during the semester, I also learned so much while experiencing the culture in Lon..."
Mary H Simmons College
"Yes it was, Vienna is such a beautiful city full of young people, great music, food, educational venues, and so many things to do in such a short time. Anyone that goes will find something that they love about Vienna, being the music, churches, parks, psychology, food, health care, people... "

" Attending the Atlantis Project in Gran Canaria this summer has been a great experience for me. This program allowed me to learn both about the healthcare system in Gran Canaria, but also to learn about the culture and people of the island. I was able to explore services in the hospital both those I had a high interest in and ..."
