Study Abroad with IFSA
"My experience abroad was more than anything I could have expected. Never had I been more uncomfortable before, as I was in a country where I could neither understand the language fully, nor could I express myself accurately. It was as frustrating as it was immensely humbling. Alliance made my experience in Shanghai was it was, a..."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about Scottish culture and history. It's a very interesting country with a unique culture."
A student Brandeis University
"The main reason I wanted to go to NI was to learn about it's history and what happened between the UK and Ireland. I also wanted to discover more about myself as a writer, and surprisingly figured out what I want to do after I graduate. Yes, some things pissed me off and money was hard to manage, but I am so grateful that I was ..."
Katie L Brandeis University
"A better sense of how big the world is, how to interact with people in different situations, how to be alone (in a big city like this, you will quite possibly spend more time alone than ever before, but not necessarily in a bad way), how to make decisions and take initiative..."
A student Brandeis University

Zachary S Brandeis University

Patrick C Le Moyne College
"I did a lot of how to be a person learning. Not as much art learning, which is what I came for. The program turned out to not be for me. I'd go abroad again if I could go back, but I'd go elsewhere."
A student Portland State University
"I could go on for days about all the things I learned and gained from being abroad, but I'll try to keep it short. I learned a lot about myself as a person, what I like and dislike, as well as where I want to go in life. I became more independent, spontaneous, and laid back. I learned to plan ahead, multi-task, and accept that t..."
