Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I want to go back. I want to learn more Japanese. Japan is amazing. I was significantly lacking in motivation to manufacture my return to the states because I wanted to stay so badly. "
Thomas D Trinity University
"Most of what I learned abroad had nothing to do with academics at all. I learned more about myself and other people. I became a little more spontaneous and outgoing, and I learned how to balance working hard and having a good time. This experience didn't really change any of my plans (because I didn't really have any yet), b..."

Andreas J Trinity University
"Absolutely! I learned how to relate to people outside of a university setting since I wasn't taking any classes at the university. Some of my best friends were made outside of IES, but through other organizations that I got involved in throughout the city. It impacted my cultural awareness and my understanding of the European Un..."
Hannah M Trinity University
"My experience was incredible and worth every penny. I feel so much connected to the world now and to other cultures, I don't feel so wrapped up in my Texas suburb bubble. I was able to study Psychology in an amazing, interactive way, in the city where so many famous psychologists worked and researched. I loved all of my classes ..."
Lisa H Trinity University
"Ecuador opened my eyes to the real world. It was the most rewarding experience ever. The poverty, racism, child labor ect... really makes you appreciate what you have. I left Ecuador with a "

"Vienna really impacted me, I learned so much about culture, history and music. It was nice to be studying about europe and actually being there. I also really enjoyed my internship, and the small business environment in Austria. "
Maria Andrea R Trinity University
"I had known for a while that I wanted to study abroad in Spain, and my experience lived up to my expectations. I learned so much and became much more confident and independent in new or challenging situations. I also met a group of wonderful students I shared my program with whom I am so lucky to know and think I will be in to..."
Meghan K Carleton College
"The experience was worthwhile, but what was surprising to me at the beginning of the program was that I learned more about myself and about personal things unrelated to French and academics than I did about other things. I learned about the type of people I should associate with, and I learned very much about my personal strateg..."
Sean C Saint Anselm College
"It was most definitely worthwhile. Through my internship provided by my program I was able to first-hand experience teaching English in a foreign country which directly impacted my future plans for teaching abroad. "
Soha N Austin College
"I've only been back in the US for a few days now, and I imagine I'll see more of an impact as time goes on. My biggest goal was to improve my Spanish skills and most definitely did that. I also developed some new interests in art and history by actually being in Europe where so many of the major movements took place, but it al..."
Ashley P Carleton College
"Yes, it was. I learned more about myself than I thought I would, and it's made me realize that my goals to pursue French language and literature in college and for my career aspirations are plausible and doable. I had a fair amount of friend drama and host family problems that I went through, but that had just as much to do with..."
Sean C Saint Anselm College
"Absolutely. My entire outlook on life is changed. "

"absolutely it was the best experience of my life. It makes me want to travel the world now."
jeremy b Ithaca College
"If I could repeat those four months and more, I absolutely would, as my time abroad proved to be one of the best- if not the best- time of my life, especially personally and culturally. It has certainly instilled in me a desire to return and live abroad again for a longer period of time, which I am already planning to do. It was..."
Michelle G Johns Hopkins University
"Yes, I loved it. I would do it again in a heartbeat."
Hillary H Ithaca College
"If Grinnell wasn't such a bully with classes it would have been better. But the rest of it was grand. "
