Oh yes. It was a maturing experience. Collin N - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
The travel was one of the best parts. I loved my teachers and got to know them on a personal level. My mom got to come visit me after my program and that definitely was a highlight of my abroad experience, showing someone close to me what I had learned over the semester. Autumn G - Trinity University View Entire Review
I really would love to go back to China. I learned so much about China, myself, and about how people feel and are from different parts of America. I plan on going back to China this summer and for the next year if I can swing it. Definitely recommend it! Gabriel I - Pennsylvania State University - University Park View Entire Review
Yes it was definitely worthwhile. My Chinese language skill sky rocketed, and this made me want to return to China and find a job after graduation. Lindsey W - Trinity University View Entire Review
I don't know how much more I can say. I learned the language, culture, and history. Aside from that, I learned about myself. What my weaknesses are, what my strengths are, and how to ask for help. I learned humility, and how important it is to metaphorically and quite literally take steps towards paths where we might not fully u... Trevor R - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
It was great. My Chinese greatly improved, I made friends, and I got to explore a very different country. I only wish I had been there longer. Matthew G - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Absolutely. It was the best choice I could have made. Not only did I learn a new language, but I learned a new culture and political system through hands on means. Josh S - University of Redlands View Entire Review

I could write an essay about this but I will just say that my experience was very worth while, humbling, sobering, eye-opening, enthralling, and fascinating at the same time. Justin C - Trinity University View Entire Review
YES! I loved it, and would never have done anything different. Leigh A - Trinity University View Entire Review

. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
This program was great about pushing us to think outside our own perspective, which is really necessary for understanding China. I feel like I've broadened my horizons quite a lot. Brian F - Cornell University View Entire Review
Absolutely. The balance between academics, culture understandings, and having a good time at the IES Beijing Center make it the ideal place for Sinophiles from all over the world. Zachary L - Trinity University View Entire Review
Of Course! Alexandra v - Ithaca College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. It completely changed my perspective on China and my future career path. I discovered my interest in public health through the research I conducted at IES, and am pursuing a research grant to go back to China post-graduation. I have a new, deeper understanding of Chinese cultu... Allison K - Trinity University View Entire Review
Yes. A thousand times yes. Let those words suffice for themselves. Anne D - Austin College View Entire Review
I am more open to trying new things, not just food. IES is a great program and I would recomend it to anyone. IT has reminded my of why I really want to work and travel abroad. Stephanie R - Trinity University View Entire Review
100% worthwhile Hanna V - Hope College View Entire Review
YES! William Y - Trinity College View Entire Review
Yes. Even if I hadn't loved my program, which I did. Going abroad is an experience every student should have. At your home university, it is so easy to get caught up in the little things and to think that grades and classes are all that matter, but when you're abraod, your whole perspective on life changes and you begin to see t...
