"I learned a lot about myself while studying abroad. Particularly that I am capable of being in an entirely new country and being able to get around even by myself! I also learned that when you immerse yourself in a language and culture you are bound to pick things up."

"I mostly gained confidence and independence while abroad. It was scary to be out of the country for the first time and to be so far from home, especially since I go to college in my hometown, but IFSA-Butler Ireland made it seamless and easy to acclimate to life abroad, and my experience with them was definitely worthwhile."
Natalie Ames University of Tulsa
"I became fluent in Spanish, gained a lot of independence and maturity, and made memories that I will treasure for my whole life. "
