Gained independence and was able to learn my way around the city. Halle Lipov - Tulane University View Entire Review
One of the greatest lessons I learned from my time abroad was the importance of going after what I want and experiencing all that the world offers. I've always been a dreamer in my head, but it can sometimes be difficult to make those dreams a reality. What this trip taught me is that it is always worth the extra work and uncomf...

I experienced living in another country, I learned more about myself, challenged myself, traveled extensively, and made amazing friends and memories Steph - Tufts University View Entire Review
I learned how to support myself and grew a great deal of independence. I became so much more mature and adult like, all while having the most incredible time. It was so worthwhile! Grace A - Ithaca College View Entire Review
I learned how to maneuver a completely foreign city, make friends with people of different cultural backgrounds, and just became more mature in general. This experience was very worthwhile. Connor S - Ithaca College View Entire Review
Studying abroad was one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. It was an incredible experience and I was able to share it with other wonderful people. Going through IES made everything easy and simple so we could focus on getting the most out of our time there. I would absolutely recommend studying abroad with IES - I mad...

Spending my summer in Sydney, Australia studying abroad was the best decision I have ever made. As cheesy as it sounds, I cannot explain in writing how much this trip, this summer meant to me. It was one of those experiences that I will never forget for so many reasons. The friends you make abroad are unlike any other friendship... Liza S - Trinity University View Entire Review
Extremely worthwhile. Australia, and Sydney especially, was absolutely amazing. It was gorgeous, everyone was so nice, and it really made me appreciate the fact that we should be embracing cooperation and treating everyone fairly. A student - Northwestern University View Entire Review
Learned to be more independent A student - Southern Methodist University View Entire Review
I was able to gain a more worldly perspective. Very worthwhile. Jon Y - Ithaca College View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself, about what I value in my life, and what I want to do with my future. It was very insightful being immersed into a new culture. I love my country (America) but the emphasis on quality of life in Australia really got to me and changed my own outlook on life. It was definitely worthwhile and if anyth... Brian G - University of Rochester View Entire Review
I gained a whole new outlook on life and I picked up a lot of small skills that I have been able to apply to my everyday life. Living in a foreign country forces you to examine your home culture from an outsider's perspective, and that was a really eye-opening experience for me. A student - University of Florida View Entire Review
Living in Sydney, Australia for a semester of college solidified my profound sense of independence. With a redefined sense of self-confidence, I have been able to strip away the nonsense of reality and focus my attention on what truly matters to the core of my being. Since my return to the States, I have been overflowing with gr... A student - Texas Christian University View Entire Review
The amount of knowledge i gained about cultural differences and barriers opened my eyes in so many new ways. The time abroad definitely gave me a better idea about who i am and who i aspire to be. I will be able to apply this learning experience throughout the rest of my life! Marie Jobes - University of Portland View Entire Review
Traveling to Australia was the first time I ever left the country and I grew a lot throughout my experience. I gained a profound interest in exploring the world and meeting new people. Throughout my schooling at Rochester, I had met many people throughout the world but nothing compares to actually traveling to a different countr... Michael Kaplan - University of Rochester View Entire Review
I gained many new friends and was able to see a whole different part of this world. I felt the different travels and everyday experiences I had were so amazing and I will never forget them. Australia is a wonderful place with the nicest people. A student - University of Michigan - Ann Arbor View Entire Review
It was so worthwhile! I got out of my comfort zone and met people who are unforgettable and have changed my way of thinking. Not to mention Australia is the most beautiful place in the world. Alex C - Ithaca College View Entire Review
I had never really traveled before, so I really learned how to be independent and to be on my own. At first, I was incredibly homesick and the adjustment was very tough, but after a month or so, I never wanted to leave! It was absolutely incredible. I learned so much about myself and have a very different perspective on foreign ... Grace T - Tufts University View Entire Review
I truly learned how to budget. Even though I lived with Americans it, was an eye opening experience having such different people (with different backgrounds/ from different parts of the US) interacting under one roof. It was different than college because you partially interact with people different people, but spend a majorit... Kathryn K - University of Tulsa View Entire Review
I learned so much about Australia, how different cultures work, about my own culture, and just about that part of the world. Absolutely worthwhile. A student - Rutgers University - New Brunswick View Entire Review
I learned more about living on my own and the responsibilities of picking up groceries and commuting into the city everyday. A student - North Carolina A&T State University View Entire Review
Studying abroad in Sydney was one of the best decisions I have made. It's impossible to describe my five month experience in a review, but upon my return to the states, I have recommended studying abroad to everyone. I arrived back in the US a different person than when I left, and the changes I went through while abroad shaped ... lolebov - Seattle University View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself and about surrounding cultures. It was beyond worthwhile! Julie H - Ithaca College View Entire Review
The experience helped me grow in to a more well-rounded and confident individual. Studying abroad enabled me to challenge myself and become the best version of who I am.
