Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"How to be extremely independent and solve problems efficiently. Yes, this experience was invaluable, in my opinion."

"I learned a lot about myself personally and my goals for the future. I learned about living in a foreign country and how to deal with the changes from living at home. I think the experience was worthwhile because I learned lessons that could not have been taught in the United States. "
A student Fordham University

Rafael F University of the Pacific
"I enjoyed my Latin American Politics class and my Cultural Studies class, but I found the overall program lacking when it came to cultural immersion.

Inés R Trinity University
"First of all, my German language skills improved drastically, though I still wish I had spoken more. But I also learned so much about the German people through living and interacting with them on a day-to-day basis. I also learned much about myself in being able to live independently in a busy city. It was completely worthwhile,..."
