Learned how to live in a city. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I feel my primary area of growth was in learning how to live more independently and not rely on other people for entertainment. There were many times that I would spend large chunks of time completely alone in a foreign country, and a big are of growth for me was becoming comfortable with that.

While studying abroad has its own unique challenges like adjusting to a new academic system and learning to be self-sufficient, I made so many memories I will cherish for a long time. Joni L - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. You learn a lot about independence and taking care of yourself both physical and mentally. Because IFSA does not have any "host families", you are essentially a "regular" full time student. Students can design their study abroad experience however they want.
