"I grew so much as a person and learned a lot about myself and the world around me. It was not always easy (the culture shock was intense) but I wouldn't take back the experience for anything. If you really want to challenge yourself and mature, this is the program to do. Travel as much as possible, too!"
Brooke B The University of Texas at Austin
"My spanish greatly improved, and I gained a greater appreciation of the sometimes tragic socio-economic situation in Mexico and of Mexican culture. "
Chris C The University of Texas at Austin
"Excellent education and classes, new friends from around the globe, and the opportunity to experience a new culture and country."
Nicholas P The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I think I need a month or two more to really master the language though"
Jennifer V The University of Texas at Austin
"Japan is a modernized country. Its easy to navigate and live there and learning and using Japanese is fun. If living conditions were better I'd have enjoyed it more. All the RAs and coordinators were fantastic! Aside from the head coordinator in Japan, Friday or whatever his name was. He doesn't do anything for the program."
Brandon O The University of Texas at Austin

Dylan N The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned about the lifestyles and customs of other cultures, as well as some of the different languages.

It was the most w..."

"I loved the IES program, I only put "no" because there were other American kids we mixed and met with from other International Programs and I would be curious to know what kind of experiences those are. "
Riane C The University of Texas at Austin
"Australia was amazing and I had the best time! The program wasn't the best and the school academics were not what I expected, but I also didn't expect too much for being abroad. Australia was the best place and has so much to offer! I would suggest Sydney Uni if you want more challenging academics."
A student The University of Texas at Austin

Shashika R The University of Texas at Austin
"I met lots of people from many different countries and had the opportunity to travel in Europe. I also got to experience another culture and be completely on my own.

"From this semester, I learned to be more independent and get out my comfort zone. It was absolutely worthwhile. "
Anne G The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to navigate cities, how to ask for help, how to budget my time and money. I learned that being different is fun, and talking to the person next to you can lead to great friendships. I learned how to plan trips and coordinate with people. I learned a lot and it was all worth it. I learned the lessons of life. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to adapt to a new culture, a new environment, a new way of living, a new language, new people, all by myself without any support from family or friends from home (except by phone/email). I think this experience really showed me what I'm capable of, and I'm really glad that I went by myself instead of with friends, beca..."
