Study Abroad with IFSA
"I gained independence and the ability to navigate in foreign places."
A student Austin College
"I gained confidence in myself, living in a big city. It was worthwhile because I wanted to travel while abroad, and living in London allowed me to do that affordably. "
Shannon S Austin College
"I was able to experience both sides of an extremely divided community and to, therefore, better my understanding of global issues. Additionally, I was also able to realize the value of the open-minded education I had received in America. It was definitely worthwhile. "
Caitlin C Austin College
"I talk too much, so it is impossible to fit into here. It was completely worthwhile, I made friends that I am now closer to than anyone back home, experienced completely unique cultural phenomena, etc."
Jayson E Austin College
"I learned how to adapt to new cultures, I learned how to accept different systems of education and growing up and how to work with them, I learned how I fit into the world as a American world citizen, and I learned how to make and keep friendships that I like to think will last even across an ocean!"
Emma L Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about Shanghai that I could not have previously read about. Academically, I learned a lot about the economic development and the business environment in China. "
A student Wellesley College
"It was, without a doubt, worthwhile. I loved London. I loved the feel of the city, and the culture, the small, winding streets. Everything about the city was perfect. I gained more of a global perspective on what a city can be like. I also learned a lot more on how to be alone. I didn't make a ton of friends, and spent a lot of ..."
A student Brandeis University
"Going abroad was the single greatest experience I've ever had. It opened me up to being spontaneous and curious and adventurous. I learned that planning isn't everything. I also met some of the coolest and influential people, both in London and elsewhere. I learned the importance of travel and culture. In the end all of that exp..."
A student Brandeis University
"Absolutely, had a fantastic time at Oxford. Learned a lot from my tutors."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself. Being so far from the people I know and love, on my own, it forced me to grow as a person and discover new things about myself. Most importantly, I hope to hang on to the notion that everything isn't as important as it seems, there's no reason to be stressed out all the time, because things will wor..."
A student Brandeis University
"I broadened my perspective on global issues and made amazing friends while doing it. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself. The first few weeks were very difficult for me because I had never been that far away from everything I know. I learned that I am more self-sufficient than I thought I could be. I am now much more confident in myself and my abilities. I also learned to adopt the important philosophy of life that t..."
A student Trinity University
"Learned to go with the flow and put yourself out there for the experiences. It was definitely worthwile"
A student Villanova University
"I learned all about China. It was a wonderful experience."
A student Villanova
"The biggest thing I learned was to be more open and global. Now I want to see other places in the world and I've made friends from all over the world that I want to visit. There are so many cool places to see and you've only got one life to try to see it all."
A student Brandeis University
"I have a completely different view of the world. "
A student Providence College
"I grew in countless ways. I learned so much out of the classroom. It was 100% worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"To be positive and take life slower. It was completely worthwile"
A student Villanova University
"Fantasic education, some really cool opportunities to participate in activities that are very stereotypical of a very famous university, and a better understanding of how the US is viewed in the world. I also traveled a TON over the 6 week break, so that added a whole other dimension to the experience"
A student Middlebury College
"I am so lucky to have gone abroad. I feel like I have grown so much, gone on so many different adventures, and met so many awesome people that I hope to keep in touch with in the future. Going abroad has given me the courage to go out and try new things and move to new places, especially as the end of college is approaching and ..."
Sarah C Trinity University
"I am less ignorant. I gained a different view on the US, some good and some bad. Learned about the international school systems. Made mistakes. Deciding to live abroad is exciting but also scary, I think I grew as a person because I was able to overcome my vulnerability. Meet amazing people from around the world, and was able to..."
A student Providence College
"It was so worth it; I wish I'd spent a full year there. I learned how to let loose and actually enjoy myself. The community was wonderful. Most people at my own University are bags of dicks, if I may say so. I had an absolutely fantastic time."
A student Trinity University
"I learned that I am capable of adjusting to many different experiences and that there are so many things in this world I want to explore. It was the best semester of my life, and it was definitely worthwhile."
Tanya S Providence College
"Completely worthwhile"
A student Bentley University
"I learned a lot about myself... especially being all on my own across the globe "
