Study Abroad with IFSA
"I gained a wealth of knowledge about myself and I made the best group of friends I could ever ask for. It was the best thing I could have ever decided to do. I do not regret any part of it one bit."
Anne C Brandeis University
"My semester in Edinburgh was definitely worthwhile. Edinburgh is a great location for a semester abroad. I gained an appreciation for Scottish history and culture, a heightened sense of independence, and some incredible experiences traveling around the UK and Europe."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained an understanding of other cultures and of my personality"
A student Fordham University
"I learned a lot academically but not too much culturally"

A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself and being independent. Most of all I achieved my goal of improving my Chinese proficiency and integrating into the culture."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a great deal about myself and my own abilities. The independence was invigorating, and every day was a learning experience. I messed up a few times, but I was always able to recover quickly and adapt. I would do it all over again, if I could. Can I? Is that an option?"
Brittany S Berea College
"I learned how to be more independent. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience."

Hillary P Brandeis University
"I learned so much about being independent and adapting to other cultures and ways of living. I made so many great friends from all over the world who I was able to share my experience with and who easily fell in love with this beautiful country with me. It was the most worthwhile experience of my life."
Leah H Trinity University
"I became much more independent and self-reliable. I know that I will be able to pull through for myself, and that I will alway be there for myself. I am much more autonomous and emotionally independent, as I only had myself to cry to for 5 months (family and friends were very supportive, but they couldn't be there with me). I am..."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how to be independent and survive in a completely foreign environment. "
A student Brandeis University
"I gained an appreciation of the Welsh language and culture and was inspired to write my honors thesis on a very Welsh subject - Dewi Sant. It was worthwhile, but I was disappointed by the lack communication and lack of recognition of my Study Abroad status by the University. There were some issues with the lecturers as well; one..."
erstanton10 Austin College
"The program really improved my Spanish and enhanced my independence. The program staff was very supportive and provided a great orientation as well as support throughout. I think it was worthwhile, although if I did it again I would make more of an effort to immerse myself in Peruvian life, explore Lima and make more friends. Re..."

"I gained the experience of sharing my passion for film and stunt work with many people from other cultures."
dave.burford.3 Austin College
"While being abroad I learned a lot about myself and who I really am. By being able to work in a classroom with students once a week I was able to see what it was like to be a real classroom teacher. I loved getting to compare the educational system set up in Northern Ireland and the one in America. Just from my experiences at th..."
A student Austin College
"This was a bad choice for my personal circumstances and preferences."
Phoebe W Austin College

A student Millsaps College
"My semester abroad was the most worthwhile experience I've ever had. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I learned more about myself and who I am than I ever thought I could in a mere 4 months. Most of my learning was done outside the classroom."

A student Bentley University
"From studying abroad I definitely gained a greater sense of confidence in myself and my capabilities.
