"A brief understanding of how "normal" is so different across cultures. Not much to do in the town, difficult to keep yourself entertained"
Matt R Tufts University
"I gained new experiences and memories which really matured me to take on more responsibility. Now I feel like I can plan more adventures because the whole experience was all just one spontaneous moment after another."
Bri R Tufts University
"I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is interested in Environmental Studies or Biology; I believe those specifically interested in Ecology or the Galapagos would benefit immensely from this program. It is also a good program for those who do not want to miss a semester at their home institution by studying abr..."

"This program literally changed my life. It changed my intended career path and how I chose to react to different situations. The relaxed life style that people have while still maintaining a ton of success showed me that I could do the same thing."
Danielle P Tufts University
"Every class I took with IES was extremely informative and challenging enough where I still remember what I learned to this day. From traveling, I gained a broader perspective of the world, a passion for exploration and even filming, and more understanding of myself as a person. I definitely came out of this program more mature, ..."

"Amazing experience"
Hannah R Tufts University
" I learned a great deal about art and the history of the city. The program was definitely worthwhile!"
Mark M Tufts University
"I now understand how study abroad really is a learning experience and so much more than an extended vacation. At first, I was a tourist in Santiago, but after a month or two of living there, I developed a better understanding of the people, their values, and the culture. Near the end of my time abroad, I thought I had mastered l..."
Sarah P Tufts University
"I gained a greater understanding of the scope of the world and different cultures. It was definitely worthwhile."
Andy P Tufts University
"I gained an understanding of the worlds diversity, I learned about the benefit of problematization, i learned open-mindedness, patience and will-power. This program helped me grow as a student, a friend, and a human-being. "
Mallory.Feldman.11 Tufts University
"I learned that experiencing other countries with people your own age is very valuable. You see a side of the city that you simply can't with family."
Deborah F Tufts University
"We were required to have an internship, which was really special. I had a great time at my internship and learned a lot. I also loved my classes - the professors were engaging, and fellow students really made me think outside of the box."
Sarah T Tufts University
"I really feel like I was able to see Turkey from a number different perspectives since I had the opportunity to travel to several regions and get a better understanding of its cultural diversity. The experience was definitely worthwhile and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go somewhere that it still somewhat European,..."

"My language skills greatly improved."
A student Tufts University
"I learned a lot about the Cuban culture and impacts of U.S. imperialism."
Henry E Tufts University
"I can speak French a heck of a lot better than I could before. I had incredible experiences exploring Paris and other cities when I traveled, but the program was a total waste because I feel as though I learned nothing and received few benefits. I would have been better off going to Paris on my own for 4 months than doing the ..."
A student Tufts University
"The research part was GREAT, which is why I would recommend the program to others. You should really consider doing research (not an internship)."
Jack E Tufts University
"I can't even begin think about what I learned from this. Was it worthwhile? Yes. Every minute of it. "
A student Tufts University
"I gained independence and proficiency in the language. It was totally worthwhile. I am a stronger person because of my experience."
A student Tufts University
"I really had the total immersion experience, and it was incredible. Totally worthwhile!! I learned so much about the culture, and the overall language and food...I gained so much. So many friends. I can't wait to go again."
Sarah T Tufts University
"Without a doubt it was worthwhile experience. I learned heaps and I got to a point with my language skills that I can say I will never forget the language and even learned it to an academic level. Additionally, I never felt so intellectually stimulated, because besides learning in class, I was constantly learning about Brazil, i..."

"Overall, it was an amazing experience. Sorrento was one of the most welcoming and interesting places I've ever been to, and I will definitely be back. The school was always helpful and the administration was super nice. I never felt as though I was scared to ask for help and they made sure to reach out to us. My class and intern..."
Kendra B Tufts University
"Berlin was amazing! I loved my classes I learned so much about the culture, history, and architecture of Berlin and Europe. I enjoyed being about to travel so easily all over Europe. Being taken by the program to places like Austria, Hungary, and Turkey was wonderful. I went from knowing only a bit about architecture to feeling ..."
A student Tufts University
"I loved living with international students in Saint Petersburg. It's an amazing city and being around people who weren't American was just as culturally enlightening as living in a complete immersion environment. Also, we had way more freedom than students who were in the city on programs designed for American students."
A student Tufts University
"AIT is truly the best option if you want to study abroad as a computer science student. You will take classes of a similar level as your home university and get credit for them, while still getting to explore a different culture. I could not speak more highly of this experience, and encourage anyone interested to apply!"
