It was definitely worthwhile. I learned from my experience that the world is big, but not as big as we think, so it is important to get to see and travel as much as possible. My experience abroad also allowed me to personally grow and push myself outside of my comfort zone. A student - Point Park University View Entire Review
I gained an expanded global perspective that one can only gain if they spend an extended amount of time abroad. My courses were engaging, interesting, and taught by individuals that are so passionate and knowledgeable. I was also able to see so many beautiful, meaningful, and culturally significant cuties and landmarks. It was ... Kyle Viti - Wagner College View Entire Review
Studying abroad is definitely worthwhile. Even if the experience doesn't 'change you' (as so many say it does), you will still learn a lot about yourself in the process. Kelsie - Hope College View Entire Review
I gained confidence in myself and learned so much about myself and about another culture and country. I fell that it was incredibly worthwhile. A student - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself from this program, especially how to become more independent. vivian - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
Studying abroad allowed me to experience life in other countries. I gained new friends who I traveled around the world with. I learned so much about the history of London through several of my classes. On a daily basis I explored different parts of the city through my classes that made learning more exciting and enjoyable. I... Raychel - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review
As with most individuals, I became even more independent during my time. I gained valuable work experience through my internship as well as applicable education from my professors. The staff at IES London cares about their students, which shows through in the overall experience. Reid - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I gained more of an understanding about different cultures and what it's like to interact with people from all over the world. I wish I could live in London because it truly was that great. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned more about myself than I expected, which was great. I also learned a different perspective other than my own like how the British view America and things we do that they think is interesting that I don't think about. Kalista Sutton - Le Moyne College View Entire Review
I gain the self confidence of making decision and traveling alone in a foreign country and the independence in do so. Destiney Wade - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
My experience abroad gave me a more global perspective on life overall. I was able to travel to not only the UK, but to several other countries in Europe, all of which taught me more and more. It gave me a whole new appreciation for European history and art/architecture. A student - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I gained so much more than I will ever fathom from this study abroad experience. I learned things like time and stress management, budgeting tips, how to navigate in unfamiliar places, and more. But I also learned more about who I am and the type of person I want to be. Any chance you get to study abroad - DO IT. A student - Hope College View Entire Review
Definitely a worthwhile experience. I learned just what I was capable of. I could live in a foreign city on my own, make new friends and experience a whole new culture all while having the time of my life. Karina K - Wittenberg University View Entire Review
I had never left the country before this so I grew so much as a person and my perspective is just so different in the best possible way. Also, I gained so much confidence living in a city and traveling to other countries because I had to do all the planning and budgeting on my own with my friends that I just made there and not m... Julia Domenick - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review
Even though London is so large and teeming with life, the community atmosphere at our IES center in Holborn made the city feel less daunting. Getting to live and study in the same city as Shakespeare and Chaucer changed my life for the better and gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of their works. I would recommend I...

When I say that this program changed my life for the better, I truly mean it. Going on this adventure not only gave me a new perspective on the world, and my life, but it also gave me friendships that will last a lifetime. Experiencing a new city, and a new culture, gave me a newfound confidence and showed me how much this world... Claudia Hatch - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. I gained confidence, independence, a deeper appreciation for history, a deeper cultural understanding, and more pride for my hometown and where I'm from. I expanded my comprehension of contemporary political issues through my coursework. Finally, I learned that I'm capable of a lot more than I previously g... kkelly - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself during my time abroad and it was defiantly a worthwhile experience. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
Studying through this program was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I would go back tomorrow if I were able. Not only were the professors absolutely amazing, but the way the program itself allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the city through classes and group outings really gave us a unique perspective of be...

I came home with an incredible, newfound level of independence and confidence. I feel as though I can conquer anything I try now since I was able to 'take on' London. Jade - Illinois Wesleyan University View Entire Review
I feel as though I matured a ton during my semester abroad. Not only did I take interesting classes, I also was able to take in all of London and a great deal of Europe. Allison May - George Washington University, School of Business View Entire Review
The IES program gives you the option to choose from some really interesting classes that you wouldn’t normally take at your home school – I chose to take a film production course while some of my friends chose architecture or theater courses. You can learn a lot from these courses that you wouldn't otherwise know! The internship... Kendrah Neff - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned how to go with the flow and how to solve serious problems in a calm and productive manner. I learned how to manage an extremely tight budget and how to have fun while doing it . Alexa Curt - Williams College View Entire Review
London is such an amazing multicultural hub. I discovered incredible museums, historical sites, delicious food, and great friends. I certainly recommend this program to students looking for a fun, urban learning environment and lots of opportunities to take new classes and travel. A student - University of Saint Thomas - Minnesota View Entire Review
I gained a new sense of independence that I didn't realize I had before! My navigation skills improved and I felt extremely comfortable wandering around the city by myself without a fear of getting lost or being alone. I also learned so much about different cultures which allowed me to see American culture from a different persp...
