Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I honestly learned a lot about myself while being in Japan. I learned what part of me I felt was truly defining and what part existed in the context of American culture. I also learned a lot about the American mindset by being surrounded by a completely different. I would say more, but that would spoil it for those of you hop..."
Nauder N The University of Texas at Austin
"I really enjoyed my experience. I learned a great deal about other cultures and people and that the world is a lot bigger than I previously thought but that people are not so different despite cultural and geographically difference."
Meredith V Trinity University
"Yes it was worthwile, made me more adaptable"
Ashley S The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worth while and I would definitely choose it again, simply because it was the only Japan program offered at UT for the summer. My experience was amazing only because of when I went out and explored the city; not because of all the little things the program itself did for me. But, the program gave me an excuse to g..."

"After living in Buenos Aires I feel like I can do anything. I am much happier and much more confident. I want to see the world now, and I am completely confident that I can handle and adjust to anything."
Katie H The University of Texas at Austin
"You are not held back by your past or perceptions. Interesting to see what you can change and what is constant. Jump into the culture and do your research"
GIl P Trinity University
"My experience has made me much more culturally aware and made me realize not to make generalizations or stereotypes and people of different culture. I was able to travel to different countries and see beautiful museums which I would not have been able to do unless abroad, that contributed to my experience greatly. My art history..."

"Americans are very money driven. In Spain they balance work and play much better. They live less extravagantly, but spend less time at work. My study Abroad experience was extremely worth while, and that's really an understatement. I loved seeing that their are other ways to live than the way we do at home. It's amazing how diff..."
Emily B The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was worthwhile. It opened my eyes to life in other parts of the world. "
Sandy G The University of Texas at Austin
"This was one of the most rewarding and fulfilling semesters of my life. I'm so glad that I chose to study abroad through this specific program. I gained amazing opportunities and will always remember it. Through my french friends, host family, french classes, travel, and other study abroad students, I really learned how to absor..."
Sarah K Tufts University
"Overall, loved it; wasn't always perfect but really improved my French and gave me experience living abroad. Always smart to try different lifestyle."
Mylinh T The University of Texas at Austin
"I'm so glad I went to Ecuador. It was breathtakingly beautiful, I learned a lot about other cultures and lifestyles, and I learned a lot of Spanish. This trip helped me to realize just how important it is to travel. Experiencing the exotic natural landscapes and novel cultural practices of Ecuador made me feel more alive. I w..."
George E The University of Texas at Austin
"The study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. I enjoyed every minute of my trip. There was nothing I would change. Every single day was a unique unreplaceable experience. I truly had the best summer i've ever had. "
Jaclyn J The University of Texas at Austin
"Very much so. The U.S. appears different from the time I left, and I appreciated my Mexican culture much more. I need to explore the Earth before I go."
Jose N The University of Texas at Austin
"I grew up"
Carly V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I've always wanted to stay for an extended period of time in a foreign country so it was perfect for that. It has given me a perspective outside the U.S. that everyone should have. It hasn't changed my future plans."
Kevin R The University of Texas at Austin
"The study abroad experience was a learning experience. Not just on how to be more independent and responsible, but how to be cautious of all things that come with the host country. I gained an insight of the politics and culture of the country. It was very interesting to have interacted with Faculty from the program who were wil..."
Bryan G The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved studying abroad in Buenos Aires, but I didn't like my program. I made great friends, learned about a new culture, traveled a lot, had a wonderful time. "
Lauralee S The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved my experience and I could not have asked for a better 7 weeks. I loved the Spanish mindset and culture so much that I could have lived there for a much longer period of time. It really opened my eyes to the world in a way that is sometimes difficult in America."
Charlotte H The University of Texas at Austin
"You become of aware of the Catalan culture immediately. My experience has made me think of how amazing it is to live in a place for an academic year, and how we adapt. I want to go back as of now. I want to live there some day in the future; it's where I feel the most content. The program is just a means to get there, to take co..."

"Best thing I've every done!!! "
Kristin P The University of Texas at Austin
"Now I definitely want to study abroad again, if I get the chance. It changed my perception of Eastern Europe for the better. I'm so glad I did it. I had the greatest time and I'm sure that view is unaminous within our group."
Devin W The University of Texas at Austin
"I have become more aware of cultural differences and how attitudes can be so entirely different and shape a culture. I am a lot better at handling novel situations with a minimum of frustration. I love learning about other cultures, and it was fantastic to be immersed in a different culture."
Laura B Rice University
"My experience was worthwhile, but not because of my program but because I made the best of everything and took my experience into my own hands. I loved my time abroad. It has definitely improved my cultural awareness. But it did nothing for my academic life, knowledge, or interests. "
