As cheesy as it is, I learned so much about myself and gained confidence while doing so. Marita Coyle - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned a LOT. I learned that I can adapt to another country and culture and grow by getting very far out of my comfort zone. I learned about how complex Ireland's culture and society is, which is far different from the stereotypes you see in pop culture. I also learned that it is one of the most beautiful places EVER.

It was certainly worth while! I learned a lot about Ireland, about history, international politics, how to travel, the Irish school system, etc. IES did a great job of getting us out and about in Ireland and Dublin. We saw lots of plays, story slams, movies, etc. I appreciated everyone at the IES center, especially Stephen, Jack... Emily - Sarah Lawrence College View Entire Review
I learned more about myself and being independent. I was constantly shocked by the culture of Ireland and I learned a lot about that. Also this was completely out of my comfort zone and I ended up making a lot of friends. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review

I lived in Rathmines, Dublin and absolutely loved it. It was a close walk to the city center and it had the Irish charm I was looking for. The classes were amazing and I truly learned not only about Irish history, but also about Irish Culture as a whole. The professors were incredible and all had a genuine interest in their stud...

I became a much more independent and self-sufficient person. It was an experience that I needed to have and that changed me as a person in a great way. I did a lot of growing up and saw things that even my parents have not seen. I am so fortunate for the opportunity. Victoria D - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review
My experience was definitely worthwhile. I gained so much from being immersed in another culture. It taught me how to adapt to different circumstances. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned how to navigate and travel through a populated city on my own, buy my own food and prepare meals, as well as plan with others on where we would travel within the country as well as more. 100% totally worth it! John Paul Camin-Calixto - Texas Christian University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worth while. I learned about a new city and got a sense of traveling alone and being independent. I learned that its easier than I thought to connect with different people and that traveling with people who share the same interests can make the experience so much better. Samantha Ferraro - University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill View Entire Review
I definitely learned to relax a little bit and really take in where you are. Being able to travel opened me up to so many different cultures and lifestyles. Renee Duffy - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review

I learned a lot of life skills, such as how to travel responsibly and how to learn to live in a new and foreign place. It got me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow as a person. I also learned a ton about Irish culture. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
A better understanding on how the Irish culture operates. Jack O`Malley - College of DuPage View Entire Review
Living abroad was the best experience of my life. I learned so much, not just about the local culture and history, but how to be more independent and confident in navigating the world. It was also a whole lot of fun, and the memories I have from my trip are ones that I will cherish forever. Ellen Adams - University of Virginia View Entire Review
I learned how to travel well, who I travel best with, and a vast amount of history. It was extremely worthwhile! A student - Hope College View Entire Review
