I gained independence and more cultural experience. It was definetly worthwhile. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I gained an appreciation for a culture that is different from my own. I gained confidence in myself and my ability to be happy and independent. It was certainly worthwhile. Hannah Huzzey - University of Iowa View Entire Review
While abroad I learned how to be independent while also immersing myself in the local culture. Isabel B - Brandeis University View Entire Review
my experience was definitely worth while and I feel like I learned a lot! Paola Salgado - Wheaton College, MA View Entire Review
heavy experience in the language Benjamin L - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned to trust myself more, and to be scared of fewer things. As a chronically late person, I finally learned to manage my time enough to be chronically on time! I feel like I can tackle anything now. And study abroad taught me that. Justine Zimmerman - Emory University View Entire Review
The biggest thing I learned while abroad was to live in the present. At home I tend to always think about what I am going to do in the future or I get stuck in the past. Studying abroad showed me how to live in the moment and take time to "stop and smell the roses". Olivia - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned that the best way to learn is to sit back and allow yourself to be uncomfortable. Amelia - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
Soooo many things like learning more Italian, making lasting connections, learning to cook, learning to travel better, developing spiritually, etc. It was definitely worthwhile and everyone should have the chance to study abroad! Osiris Mancera - Johns Hopkins University View Entire Review
I learned much about Roman History and archaeology, and even had a chance to perform practical archaeology in an internship. Every moment was worthwhile! I learned so much about Italian culture and how to be independent abroad. 100% recommend! Yair Koas - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I studied abroad in Rome with IES Language and Area Studies during the Fall of 2016, and it was by far the best experience of my life. I lived in an apartment, just a fifteen minute walk to school, with five other abroad students and one Italian Student Companion. I absolutely loved my classes and really valued the opportunity... Alexandra Healey - Occidental College View Entire Review
I say to my friends when they ask me how Rome was that it was "unironically life-changing". I remember being nervous at the idea of traveling abroad, reading reviews like this, and thinking, "Yeah right. Inspiring...pooh!" Rome humbled me in a way. It is a city that is startling and frightening at first, and then it takes y... Jordan Shoemaker - Ithaca College View Entire Review
See response above. A student - The College of Wooster View Entire Review
Apart from regular academics, I learned how to view my own culture from a perspective different than my own. Carolyn Hauk - Gettysburg College View Entire Review
more about myself, more about the culture in Italy, about amazing food. Definitely worthwhile Rachel - Emory University View Entire Review
I gained more autonomy and independence and it was definitely worthwhile and I definitely plan on moving here one day. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Going abroad was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much independence, cultural awareness, and appreciation for the world. I grew so much as a person and gained a new perspective on not only the world, but myself. Nothing compares to what you will learn by going out in the world, immersing yourself in a new culture, and living a... Victoria Cogliandro - Tulane University View Entire Review
I learned new language and communication skills, I gained a deeper appreciation for other cultures, and I was able to travel the world and meet new/interesting people. This was an extremely worthwhile experience. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I've become interculturally competent in a way that I certainly was not before, I've learned a fair degree in a language I could barely say "hello" in, and I've gained an international outlook through relationships with the people I met in Rome. A student - Occidental College View Entire Review
The courses at IES allowed me to further my studies in political science by studying both classic political philosophers like Macchiavelli and the current events and systems of modern Italian politics. IES also connected me with a great internship working for The International Spectator, Italy's oldest English-language of intern... A student - Kenyon College View Entire Review
I gained a lot of confidence and I feel much more independent. It was definitely worthwhile. Living in another country is hard, but it's definitely eye-opening. Nicole Scelta - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review
Language, friends (local and american), knowledge (history, food, Italian cities and towns, Roman culture). Sophia K - Brandeis University View Entire Review
This program was extremely worthwhile. I learned about the importance of the difference it makes to learn about art within its context. By being able to visit the various places of art in its original location, it really changes your understanding of the artwork at hand. A student - Wheaton College, MA View Entire Review
I really learned to be independent and I have become more mature. Living basically on my own in a foreign country makes me feel like I can do almost anything. I feel more responsible and more like an actual adult now. Michael Sheridan - Fordham University View Entire Review
I was nervous, like many other students, before I went abroad. When selecting a college, a big thing to me was choosing a university where many students studied abroad. I was so enthusiastic about all of it until about a week before I left. I started to panic about what I would miss at school, if I had made a mistake going abroa...
