I met such great people and learned a lot about the Middle Eastern Cultures. I felt like I was immersed in the Israeli culture. I liked my program because it was sort of a mix bet..."

"I learned a lot about the world. Being around a lot of people who are not from the US and who travel frequently was very rewarding. My Turkish skills improved as well, and I feel much more comfortable with Turkish culture than when I first came. It was wonderful."

Personally, the country is ..."

"I gained the ability to speak Chinese freely and listen fluently. The experience was definitely worthwhile, but I only said I wouldn't do it again because of how difficult it was. Not saying I don't like a challenge, but living in China is not something I'd want to do again right now."

"I had always wanted to study abroad but at the same time I was a little scared to just venture into the world all on my own. IES Barcelona was the perfect fit for me! They provided the support needed while allowing me the freedom to take full advantage of my study abroad experience. The staff was great help in getting settled..."

"Overall, I felt a lot more independent when I left Ireland. I'd navigated foreign cities, made new friends, gotten to know Dublin and traveled a bit. I felt really refreshed and confident in my own capabilities. In terms of my internship experience, learned a lot about working on my own initiative. Irish work culture is diff..."

Sophia A The University of Texas at Austin
"Don't hang out with Chileans simply because they are Chilean. Seek them out because they are people your age with similar interests. That is what builds strong friendships. I had a "just say yes" policy and always accepted invitations to hang out. Never a let down."

"I now have a great appreciation and passion for traveling. We traveled a lot over the semester, and I think that is what I grew the most from as a person.

It was really inc..."

JJ P The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned mostly about my strengths and weakness for real; what I cared about it life, who should I allow in my space, and learning how sometimes you just have to let go of your inhibitions. I more so learned about life in general than I did structured education sitting in a classroom all day! "
