Study Abroad with IFSA
"Must hold intercultural competence"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself - what I'm capable of, what the boundaries of my comfort zone look like, and what I might want to do later in life. I think it was really worthwhile, because I've definitely grown a lot as a person - more than I would have if I had simply stayed home."
Samantha Heffner Trinity University
"study abroad is a great experience, regardless of what program you go with. at the end of the day it is what you make out of it!"
A student Wellesley College
"Don't go abroad if you want to study."
A student Brandeis University
"My Chinese improved immensely. I learned a lot about myself and China. Made a lot of good friends. "
Robin T Brandeis University
"I really improved my Spanish and learned about living in a different part of the world. I will definitely reflect on my experience in Mérida when I make future life decisions - I learned about myself and what I want my life to be like."
Emily A Brandeis University
"I learned how to live independently and travel independently. I have also gained a better understanding of UK culture, and the cultures of the other places I traveled to. It was definitely worthwhile."
Kim Adler Brandeis University
"Learned a lot about my own independence, how to navigate a city. Definitely worthwhile, but don't underestimate how difficult moving to a new country on your own can be!"
A student Brandeis University
"I like Scotland"
A student Brandeis University
"Completely worthwhile, one of the best experiences I've ever had. A flexible program in an amazing country "
Leah K Wellesley College
"It was incredibly worth while. I learned to take worth in my self and my work. "
Melissa R Trinity University
"I learned how to be independent! I learned how to travel alone, explore cities alone, and be happy being alone. I spent plenty of time with friends and socializing, but being away from my good friends back home meant I had to both make new friends and be contented being by myself. This, I believe, is a valuable life lesson. "
A student Cornell University
"I became way more outgoing, patient, and adventurous. For the changes I can see in myself daily since I've been home, it was definitely worthwhile. "

Sawyer H Oregon State University
"I gained a lot of independence and adaptability. I feel comfortable making a choice to move further away and am even thinking internationally now for my future. It was definitely worthwhile and I would encourage all students to try their hardest to study abroad."

Phyllis G Austin College
"New knowledge and culture, worth!"

A student Susquehanna University
"I learned how to be adaptable and open-minded to much more than what I was previously accustomed to.
