I can honestly say that the 8+ weeks I spent in Greece have been the best weeks of my life thus far, in part thanks to CYA. I am a science major at my home university, but the two classes I took in Greece that focused on the anthropology of the Mediterranean diet and ..."

"People will tell you that when you go abroad something changes in you. I never really felt this until I went on to Spain. Coming from a small southern town to a bustling city environment was a huge change for me. Especially when my host mother spoke not one word of English. To be honest, the first night I was not so sure tha..."

"Being the only student from my university on this program, I was incredibly nervous going into the experience. However, the decision to study abroad with the Santiago program was the best decision I made. My program included 21 students from various universities across the nation, allowing me to meet people I would not have met ..."

"I learned to be independent and ask questions, try new things, and just be brave. "
Katie B University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"My semester in Paris would not have been nearly half as great as it was if I had not studied with IES Abroad. As my time in France came to a finish in May 2014, and as my departure crept closer and closer, I truly realized how lucky I was that I had picked an IES program. There was not a single component of IES’s structure that ..."
Jessica E University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"I loved the AP because it forced me to go outside my comfort zone until I widened it. I learned that to truly experience the newness of being abroad, I had to dive in and submerge in a new place, and it was so worth it! There would have been a time that if you'd told me I would've been easily conversing with European doctors aft..."

"A confidence and faith in myself to be able to navigate a foreign city."
Maya K University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"Because I cannot put into words what I gained, it was absolutely worthwhile. I have an appreciation, a knowledge and a love for a country I hardly knew anything about a year ago. I'm a more confident person now because of it. I have deep relationships with people across the ocean, and I've rediscovered my love for nature. It was..."

"Personally, this experience gave me confidence in my ability to handle new and unfamiliar situations. It also showed me that living abroad is something I want to do again in the future, and hope to do soon! Academically, the program challenged me to think about Jewish history and lived experience in new ways. Overall I learn..."
Molly P University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"Not only did I learn all the ins and outs of European political and economic systems, but I also learned all about the culture of different European countries. Understanding and experiencing the diverse cultures of Europe is something you cannot do unless you travel and see each culture in action. This program allowed me to do j..."

"My experience was wonderful. I am a journalism major previously only interested in marine conservation as a hobby/interest, but now I hope to shift my focus more towards using my journalism degree to promote marine conservation. "
Alexis B University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"Before studying abroad, I was burnt out in school. Learning had become an overwhelming process and life just seemed to be so ordinary and repetitive. It was a monotonous existence. When I went to Spain, I experienced a fun way to learn in a completely foreign environment where every aspect of living was a learning experience...."
Louisa G University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"SEA has changed my life. I met some of my best friends on the trip, I learned so much about the oceans that most people don't even think about, and I learned a ton about myself. You definitely develop a sense of teamwork and understanding of others. After SEA I have picked up an major in Environmental Studies. It has also lit ..."
Blais H University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"SEA Semester will teach you independence and decision-making, in addition to its usual curriculum of oceanography, maritime history, and nautical science. By the end of the program, you're in charge of navigating and conducting research from a 135-foot brigantine sailing through some of the world's most beautiful oceans. Every..."

"I'm 25 now and if I die tomorrow I could happily say I've already lived a life at least three times as full and rich as the lives of many Americans. Chile is a wonderful country... very safe (especially for South America) and the most gorgeous you will ever see. They have everything there from famous beaches to deserts to iceber..."
Sarah K University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"All in all, the study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. Aside from learning from distinguished professors and language instructors, I was also able to take in all of Tokyo in a short while. This was thanks to our strategic placement, useful assistants, and overall efficiency of the program. I definitely recommend i..."
Anish T University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"My study abroad experience was fantastic. I went with the goal of improving my Chinese and that is what I did. I think that when you choose the language intensive program with CET, make sure that language study is you number one priority. It is not a vacation, though you do have a great time. I would try to build a relat..."
