Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"Yes, I did not want to leave."
James K The University of Texas at Austin
"I have become a more focused, confident and active student because of it. I gained a better understanding on how to live my life, which is to say, I gained a more Spanish outlook on life, which is to follow what makes you happy, and if it isn't making you happy, leave it behind. I plan to move back to Granada at some point. "
Daniel B Tulane University
"I understand that I know very little about Japan and must go back to learn more."
Timothy H Austin College
"It was very worthwhile. It was life changing! The only reason why my experience is not a five globe rating is my disappointment with the housing and services provided by IES for the cost of the program. Also, I would have liked to meet more Dutchies, but I cannot attribute that entirely to IES. Traveling opened my eyes eve..."
Maggie T Wellesley College
"I wish I was back in Nantes right now. I gained so much confidence with my language skills and proved that I can live and travel around other countries alone. I hope to be able to return to France after college to work and continue to speak French."
Preston M The University of Texas at Austin
"I became more open minded, more adaptable, and more relaxed."
Vithal N The University of Texas at Austin
"YES! You meet the most amazing and interesting people ever. "
Kimberly C The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely. But I credit myself and my parents for that. Not my program."
Aaron A The University of Texas at Austin
"YES. It was fascinating to find out how classes are taught differently, and what constitutes an 'American' teaching method."
Caitlin T Trinity University
"Being in Nantes influenced me to want to come back after college to teach for a year. I learned about the enormous influence that the States have on Europe. I experienced the unifying nature that all people have regardless of the language they speak."
Preston M The University of Texas at Austin
"SO worthwhile! I'll just say it's easily the best decision I've made in college. "
Jamie M Trinity University
"Yes."
Amanda R The University of Texas at Austin
"It was beyond worthwhile. I love Barnard I love Columbia I love New York City but a semester away in a new country with new friends a different language and new experiences everyday was incredibly refreshing and important for my college experience. The perspective gained from living abroad is unique and cannot be taught or give..."
Kaylin M Barnard College
"I am much more calm now; I've learned to prioritize and see big picture, making coming back to small-school drama very difficult. While some would avoid an experience abroad with so many Americans, I learned a lot about myself by being around so many people with similar tastes for travel and exploration. I wouldn't change a thin..."
Nicole C Trinity University
"Most definately!!!!"
Sabrina F Trinity University
"I was grateful for the chance to spend an extended period out of America, and am eager to go elsewhere soon."

Daniel Z University of Rochester
"Yes!"
Andrew K University of Rochester
"Yes"
Vikram S Trinity University
"I feel like I have a better understanding of both Spanish and U.S. culture now. "

"It was absolutely worthwhile. I have a new understanding of other people, and of myself. I think I will keep what I have learned with me forever."
Morgan K Trinity University
"I have a more "worldly" view of America and other cultures. Going abroad is wonderful because it really puts things in perspective and you realize that Americans don't rule the world like we think we do. I loved living in France, meeting French people, and living life the French way. It's different, some things good and others b..."
Ashley S Trinity University
"It was more than I could have ever expected and can't even be explained in words. I only feel extreme gratitude for being able to experience what I was able to experience in Spain and everywhere I was able to go."
