Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."There were definitely some grittier/harder moments, but I honestly learned so much and grew a ton during my time abroad. Madagascar is so very different from the US and I had so many opportunities to develop my language skills while meeting people who come from such different walks of life. I feel so much more mature in my desir..."

"Last summer, I participated in an abroad course and internship with iXperience. I did it in Cape Town with the Product Management course and it is one of the programs that prepared me to secure my internship at EY this upcoming summer! I spent my first four weeks developing my own product idea with a team of four students who ..."

"This experience was one of the most incredible things I've ever been able to be a part of. People say that abroad changes you, but I really think it allows you to settle more into yourself and just become more you: at least that's how I felt. I traveled alone and with so many different groups of people, allowing myself to gain c..."

"Sant'Anna did an amazing job making their students feel at home in Sorrento. This was undoubtably the best 5 weeks of my life. The town is beautiful and the people are extremely friendly. The host family could not have been more accommodating and made us all feel like we were part of their family. My only regret is that the prog..."

"Very worth while"

"I became a lot more independent, more of a risk-taker, and more adventurous. Very worthwhile. "
Lindsay Boyer Wake Forest University
"I made friends that I will keep for the rest of my life. I was also convinced that Freiburg is where I would like to get my Masters degree. Freiburg is the perfect German college town in my opinion. It was absolutely worthwhile."
David Brinsky Wake Forest University
"I learned how to be more independent than I have ever been. I loved learning about Danish culture and life!"
Katherine Beck Wake Forest University
"Rome stole my heart and I will definitely be going back some day. I loved buying fruit at the local frutteria and eating dinner at the quaint restaurants in Trastevere. I feel like I developed so much as a person and became much more independent. My experience opened my eyes to how large and small the world really is. It is 100..."

"I deeply cherish my study abroad opportunity with the SIT Perú: Globalization and Indigenous People program. Community within the program grows deeply and closely between the students within the program and the program staff, while also offering endless possibilities for you to be as much or as little immersed into the Peruvian ..."

"Going abroad to Freiburg gave me not only practical, concrete knowledge of issues in current Germany as well as locally and a broader cultural appreciation, but also taught me how to live independently on my own for the first time."
A student Wake Forest University
"I grew as a person and really got to know about the world. "
Robert M Wake Forest University
"I was able to become more self-sufficient and I gained a lot of confidence in myself."
Alex H Wake Forest University
"Argentina taught me the importance of slowing down and taking a look around. My time abroad was life changing in the best ways possible."
Caroline B Wake Forest University
"I've never felt more immersed in a culture that's not my own. Going home to America will be weird and difficult leaving all this behind. It was definitely worth it. "
A student Wake Forest University
"I didn’t know what to expect when I stepped off the plane in Beijing, signaling the start of my study abroad experience, but IES Beijing made the transition smooth and easy and created one of the most exciting experiences of my life to date. The weeklong orientation was not only extremely helpful in adjusting (especially with je..."
A student Wake Forest University
"I've become much more global and open-minded. I have friends in different parts of the country and overseas. I have much more confidence than I once had, and also am more critical of the choices my country makes and how it operates. Yet, being away for so long has also increased my nationalism. I now have a second home in Copenh..."
Austin B Wake Forest University
"I gained a better understanding of problems in enforcing Protected Areas in general. I also learned about the importance of looking at the economic and social impacts of fisheries, tourism and changes in customs on the local people and surrounding environment. This experience has made me want to explore every inch of the ocean..."
Austen S Wake Forest University
"I would do it every summer if I could. The location was awesome, the classes were actually interesting and not too demanding. The program itself was helpful and only added to the experience."
Caitlin C Wake Forest University
"Chile was a great experience for me. I went over there not knowing a single other person and it was a truly rewarding experience. I only wish I could have stayed for longer than 6 weeks! "
Sarah S Wake Forest University
"It was wonderful and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Honestly, the most difficult part of the entire experience was coming home."
