Study Abroad with IFSA
"DEFINITELY WORTHWHILE. Grew so much as an individual, felt so alive being able to explore constantly, loved being in a big city but also close to beautiful nature and parks and the ocean, loved living in an international housing building because I now have friends in literally every country that I still talk to and can't wait to..."
Niki K Butler University
"Great international exposure. I lived with english kids, hung out with english kids, and went to class with english kids. I loved it."
A student Colby College
"Independence, budgeting skills, a passion for traveling, knowledge of a different teaching/learning style, cross cultural understanding. Extremely worthwhile. "
Alex M Davidson College
"I became much more self-reliant and independent. It was overwhelmingly worthwhile. I created many friendships, two of which will be lifelong. I travelled to many places, saw so many things I had only seen in pictures."
Rachel C Skidmore College
"What I've learned is that we should risk and get out of our comfort zones in order to grow. This year has been full of challenges, adventures and best memories!"
Mariam M Northeastern University
"So worthwhile, it was the best decision I have ever made"
A student Vanderbilt University
"That I am much more capable than I ever thought. That great friends make a great experience. That I love traveling and I love London. I would do it again and again if I could."
taylor.kainer Southern Methodist University

A student Amherst College
"I gained a sense of identity and an independent spirit that I am so thankful for. "
A student University of Westminster

A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself and I saw some of the most incredible things that I will probably ever see in my life. I wish I could go back and do it all over again. I also want to travel to so many other countries now."
A student Trinity University
"It was the most worthwhile experience I could have ever decided to do. I would of course change a few things I did, but nothing is perfect. I gained and learned more than I could write here - my outlook on myself and certain aspects of life have certainly changed. Going abroad is something that every student should get the chanc..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned everything. From the outside and inside of the classroom. I learned about the Chinese culture, I learn how to deal in certain ways with different experiences. "
Alyssa C University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign
"The experience was absolutely worthwhile. The people you meet from not only the US and China but from all over the world allow you to see into all cultures. The greatest thing I took from the program was adopted some of the traditional thinking that many Chinese hold which I believe has made me into a better overall person. "
Joe W Shanghai University of Finance and Economics
"I believe this was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. I learned so much about a unique culture and engaged in a completely different environment. I thought culture shock would affect me negatively, but on the contrary, I loved the experience."
Fran d Rollins College
"Aside from obviously taking interesting classes, I learned a lot about the daily life in London and a bunch of other European countries I traveled to. Even though I live off campus at school, this was another great way to learn to really live on your own, in a brand new place with your own freedom. There are some really great pu..."
Bryan l Brandeis University
"Everything about traveling abroad is useful, even the negative parts. I learned so much about other Americans, Chinese people, and myself. Alliance was an excellent program and facilitated my personal growth in so many ways. "
Ryan S University of Massachusetts Amherst / UMass
"I gained perspective, practical skills, and understanding. I learned more about myself than I could have ever imagined and it was absolutely positively worthwhile."

"I gained a huge amount of confidence, as well as an appreciation for and awareness of cultural differences. Plus, my Chinese is so much better!"
A student Wellesley College
"Life experience and met awesome people. "
Scott B Texas Lutheran University
"My experience was very much worthwhile. I learned how to be more relaxed about certain things and remain flexible while traveling or dealing with other people. However, I was a bit too relaxed about some important things, such as keeping track of deadlines and studying, and I learned to notice signs that my attention was slippin..."
A student Brandeis University
"The English culture is so beautiful and has such a rich history. I would very much like to live and work there one day."
A.j. Z University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign
"I didn't expect to be faced with so many cultural differences in a country that speaks my language, but I'm glad for it. 100% a worthwhile experience. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned basic life skills for living on my own--budgeting, cooking, cleaning... I have never really had to do any of this independent of my family or school. It was an eye opening experience. "
Avva B Trinity University
"personal growth experience. Really got a chance to experience a big busy city and found that it was exactly what I needed. Easy to travel to other places in Europe. definitely worth while, but personally would have been better suited with a different academic programme."
A student Brandeis University
