"There are many things I gained from being abroad. I experienced a different culture and learned to appreciate international visitors in the United States more than I had before. I became more aware and empathetic because I knew what it felt like to be treated with patience and kindness but also shortness and rudeness. I also lea..."

"Because I studied abroad, I have a much greater appreciation for learning about other cultures and countries. I love traveling, but being able to experience a place for an extended period of time, and actually go to school in a different country was an enriching experience that I am forever grateful for. "

"As someone who does not study design at school, it’s difficult to create a portfolio of well thought out and well executed work – time constraints normally mean that work is relegated to small design tasks or hackathon projects. GA’s UXDI course proved to be immensely valuable – not only did I learn how to develop a solid proces..."

"Life experiences that taught more than I've learned in my four years here at Michigan. It was truly the one school experience where I know I can apply (life and school lessons) to the rest of my life. It was SO worthwhile. "

"Studying abroad with TEAN has given me an experience that nothing can compare to. I spent a week in Fiji, a place where I would not have had the opportunity to travel to had I not participated in TEAN, and then lived in Australia for four months playing on the beach and eating wedges with sour cream and sweet chili sauce. Nothin..."

"I learned so much from being abroad. I loved that Alcala de Henares had the components of a smaller city yet was so close to Madrid, making travel easy and giving you the big city atmosphere when you wanted it. It was 100% worthwhile, and I can't wait to be back. "

"I learned what is like to not to be able to communicate everything that I want. It was extremely worthwhile. "
Tamara H University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"My time spent in Dublin holds a very special place in my heart and I owe this incredible experience to the wonderful IES administration and students. Living and learning in a different country is one of the best experiences you can give yourself and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their horizons and grow. I l..."

"The semester that I spent in Buenos Aires, Argentina was by far the most memorable and valuable experiences I have ever had. I lived in Argentina from July to December of 2014 with an Argentine host family who were spectacular. Along with my host family I was assisted by IES with getting accustomed to the city and learning h..."
Cody K University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"Learned lots about cross cultural communication and the initial phases of social innovation but the program was far too expensive for just these lessons. For the same amount per month, I could have lived and taken classes at my own university as opposed to living in rural Panama spending lots of time bored or wondering what we w..."

"I learned a lot of the field of renewable energy. Not only about the science behind it, but also about its costs and realistic implementation. The outdoor adventure aspect of the program allowed me to see areas of Iceland that are mainly hidden from tourists. I also took a lot away from seeing Icelandic culture. Seeing others wa..."
Joshua G University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"Not only the renewable energy components and the educational aspects, but I learned how to push myself, how to get along with people from different backgrounds, and also how to not only respect the land and its culture, but also how to respect one another. "
Taran P University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"Though I was highly confident in my decision to become a doctor before the program, I feel even more strongly about medicine now. Being able to shadow doctors in a system I had never encountered before was a great experience, because it opened my eyes to the multitude of professional opportunities available to medical graduates...."
Bryan F University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"I learned to have more confidence in my Spanish abilities. This experience was definitely worthwhile in that I gained humility, confidence, encouragement, constructive criticism, and the motivation to continue in my studies. I certainly faced challenges but when I overcame them I felt inspired to seek bigger and better adventure..."

"I really learned to appreciate the Spanish culture and the way they live. "
Andrea A University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"Going abroad in general is one of the most worthwhile experiences to have. Not only do you learn independence but you get the opportunity to explore places you never thought you would ever go. Australia was exactly that. At the complete other side of the world, I was terrified of going somewhere where I could't even contact fami..."
