Ies Vienna "Squeeze The Juice"

I am a much more understanding, patient, and confident person from this experience. My study abroad experience was defined by the abroad portion rather than the study part. Just getting to class was a new experience. There is a difference between traveling to different countries and living in a new country. Living in Vienna, I w...

Vienna: You Will Always Hold A Place In My Heart

No doubt! I am now hoping to enter the Peace Corps and later work in a study abroad office because of my experience in Vienna.

Ies Vienna [Redefined] My Life.

As someone who had never been outside of the United States before, I was nervous about traveling and studying in a foreign country. When I got there, however, I completely fell in love. I have never learned so much about myself, cultures, travel, other people and societies before in my entire life. The knowledge and memories t...

Vienna: Dying To Go Back

I know German. I am connected personally with art and music history. I am an internationally trained musician on my c.v. I made friends I'll never forget. I visited 11 cities. I am a more confident and capable person for having handled myself abroad.

Undoubtedly. One of the best experiences I'll ever have. Couldn't have asked for a better time or for better people to have experienced it with.

An Amazing Life Changing Experience In Vienna!

My experience was incredible and worth every penny. I feel so much connected to the world now and to other cultures, I don't feel so wrapped up in my Texas suburb bubble. I was able to study Psychology in an amazing, interactive way, in the city where so many famous psychologists worked and researched. I loved all of my classes ...

Vienna Expanded My Horizons!

Vienna really impacted me, I learned so much about culture, history and music. It was nice to be studying about europe and actually being there. I also really enjoyed my internship, and the small business environment in Austria.

A Beautiful Time In Beautiful Vienna

Besides gaining near fluency in the German language, I made friends that I will have for the rest of my life. It is nearly impossible to explain all the ways studying abroad impacted me, but I have realized all of the different opportunities waiting out in the world for me. Because of studying abroad I am now interested in att...

Vienna: Everything It Seems.

I have gained the best of friends and had the best time. I had the opportunity to teach students while I was there, and ever since I have wanted to teach abroad again...it was such a rewarding experience. It is such a wonderful city.

Vienna; Modern Life From The Perspective Of A Different Time

Of course! Language improvement. Made many international friends. Learned many interesting things about central Europe and European culture. Had an opportunity to see the real differences between cultures. Taught me that many more things exist in the world than I could/have actually imagined.

Viena Opened My Eyes To A Happier World

I've gained so much appreciation for Austria. So much of our world's art and music have come from this country, and I didn't know how much of it did before. As a musician, it is really beneficial I think, to see how a society puts so much emphasis and has so much support for the arts. I think it will help me advocate for them in...

Vienna: An Introduction To History, Culture, And Life From A Different Angle

I improved my German language skills, discovered how another people live, and tested my ability to start in a new place. I would do it again despite the less than satisfying intellectual experience in the classroom.

Now I definitely want to study abroad again, if I get the chance. It changed my perception of Eastern Europe for the better. I'm so glad I did it. I had the greatest time and I'm sure that view is unaminous within our group.
