"I learned more during my time in Australia than I had in my first 3 years of College. Being forced to live in a new place, no matter where it is, is the essence of independence. I met the most interesting people from around the globe and I traveled wherever I wished, free from any responsibilities. I trekked the outback, surfed ..."
Benji H The University of Texas at Austin
"It was extremely worthwhile. I gained priceless insight into the innerworkings of a community and how different components of that community can either be beneficial to one another or harmful. I also learned about forests, nature, how valuable it is and how delicate and vulnerable it is. I will never look at a city, a park, or a..."
Ana P The University of Texas at Austin
"The study abroad experience was a learning experience. Not just on how to be more independent and responsible, but how to be cautious of all things that come with the host country. I gained an insight of the politics and culture of the country. It was very interesting to have interacted with Faculty from the program who were wil..."
Bryan G The University of Texas at Austin
"The experience was absolutely amazing from the perspective of the classes to the students you meet "
Rahul S The University of Texas at Austin

William H The University of Texas at Austin
"Going in, London was one of my favorite cities in the world, and it contiunes to be so. I mostly treasure the opportunity I had to travel all over the country and meet new friends. "
Julia S The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved studying abroad in Buenos Aires, but I didn't like my program. I made great friends, learned about a new culture, traveled a lot, had a wonderful time. "
Lauralee S The University of Texas at Austin
"It was well worthwhile. I feel more independent and knowledegable about the world than ever before. I wish I could do it all again!"
Hillary E The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes and no. I think my intense desire to travel outside of America- anywhere outside America- led me to have unrealistic ideas about what it means to live abroad. I have a greater respect for living in the US, but also really enjoy parts of Costa Rica. I would say that this program is geared to people who are very interested in ..."
Katherine N The University of Texas at Austin
"I became much more self-reliant and independent. I gained so much perspective with this experience and really enjoyed it. "
Julia O The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience made me want to travel and see other Latin American countries because every country has a different culture, which interests me. I also feel like going to other countries make you more humble because we're used to living in the US and learning about things only about the US, but foreign people know so much about th..."
Kathy T The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, this experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about Latin America and the challenges there. I really enjoyed Argentina and loved all the things to do in Buenos Aires. I met a lot of great friends in my program and think very highly of IFSA programs. "
Laura O The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. Living with a family is crucial."
Sarah D The University of Texas at Austin

Stephanie B The University of Texas at Austin
"Id lived abroad before, so had experience away from home, with other cultures, etc, but as a student its incomparable. Meeting so many foreign students was great when I started backpacking, I had a home/tour guide in half of Europe, and there is really no better way to experience European culture than to surround yourself with ..."
Rachel C The University of Texas at Austin
"I wish I was there longer. I had an incredible experience non-academically and an average academic experience."
Avi A The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile. It taught me how to be independent, self sufficient, and more outgoing with different kinds of people."
Sarah S The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, the experience is definitely worth the money and the time. Simply the experience of getting out and seeing the world changes your perspective on many different things."
Rebekah C The University of Texas at Austin
"I have an interest in international comparative medical education so seeing how Danish medicine differed from American medicine was great, from the actual practice of medicine all the way to governmental political structures and policy in place. Not only have I become more aware globally but even within the US because American s..."
Dean P The University of Texas at Austin
"I really enjoyed learning about the Spanish culture and speaking the language. I really appreciate the US alot more after coming back from being abroad. Living abroad made me feel more confident about living other places in the world and let me know that if I set my mind to it, I can make it happen."
Marisa C The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself, good and bad qualities. I also realized that maybe advertising is not a good field for me. I enjoyed the food and shopping in Hong Kong. I was pretty surprised at how westernized it is, even though I knew that it was colonized by England. It was different from what I expe..."
Caroline Y The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I really enjoyed the program overall. I just wish I had known more about what the acutal course was about, I was completely unprepared for that. "
Vienna M The University of Texas at Austin
"It was interesting being in a country where you are the minority. I met lots of interesting people, made lifelong friends, saw amazing places, and managed to go to class a few times along the way. I want to go back and travel more. My academic interests didn't really change. I took think more as a cultural experience than an..."
Rebecca H The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved my experience and I could not have asked for a better 7 weeks. I loved the Spanish mindset and culture so much that I could have lived there for a much longer period of time. It really opened my eyes to the world in a way that is sometimes difficult in America."
Charlotte H The University of Texas at Austin
