Study Abroad with IFSA
"Australia is an incredible place. Definitely worthwhile and I will come back as soon as I can"
A student Providence College
"It was worthwhile. I learned an incredible amount about myself and feel like I have the ability to do anything now. I think I have become significantly more independent and have much more confidence in myself."
A student Providence College
"I became very independent. There were a lot of times that I had to depend completely on myself when something bad happened and I learned a lot more about myself as a result. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. "
A student Fordham University
"Definitely worthwhile. Learned a lot about myself and how to deal with issues I never had to before."

A student Providence College
"You can't rely on other people and you can't care so much about what other people think. seek to do the things that make you happy. It was incredibly worthwhile. "
A student Providence College
"I learned how to be independent in a foreign nation without my native language. I learned that patience is key, and also being adaptable b/c things often changed and plans had to be reevaluated. I learned that time flys by but it also goes slowly. Definitely worthwhile. I had many hard days, but I think those are the ones you le..."
A student Fordham University
"Yes, it was completely worthwhile; however, I have learned to appreciate the American academic system a lot more. "
A student Fordham University
"I learned how to be independent and to understand a city and a culture from my own perspective and to take things for what they are. It was very worthwhile and if I could I would do it again."

A student Brandeis University
"most important difference with us education is you have to do study by yourself. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how to be truly independent. Going off to college is one thing, but when you really are away without access to the USA, and have to juggle things like money, new classes, unfamiliar teaching styles, and meeting a completely new group of people, it can be very difficult to adjust. For me, the best days were ones during ..."
A student Brandeis University
"Although I still have one month left, I learned that I could adapt to a different lifestyle in a hustling and bustling in a culture worlds away from Brandeis University, and that I could push myself to meet new interesting people (both Argentine and international) and try new experiences whether it was painting a rural school in..."

"Became more cosmopolitan and multicultural"
A student Brandeis University
"Living abroad for several months, no matter where you go, is an eye-opening experience. It reminds you that the US is not the center of the universe and, trust me, you will hear a lot about what people think about the states! (both good and bad). Exposure to another country is so important & I think anyone who possibly can shoul..."
Jen_2618 Fordham University
"This program was amazing. I loved being free to take my own classes and explore on my own time, but the program also offered the perfect amount of support to help me realize what I wanted to accomplish. I grew so much, and overcame a lot of fears, especially with speaking Spanish. Being forced to speak Spanish all day is scary, ..."
Estie M Brandeis University
"traveling around and getting immersed into the culture - DEFINITELY worthwhile"
A student Brandeis University
"Honestly, I didn't gain a whole lot of book smarts during my semester abroad. What I lacked there, I definitely made up for in learning about myself. Studying abroad was an amazing growing experience for me. I had been struggling with some relationships at home before I left, but being away from them made it clear to me that the..."
A student Butler University
"I have gained a few lifelong friends and a sense of confidence in my ability to handle things on my own. I've traveled all over and gained packing skills, cooking skills and have learned to like tea! It was a lot of fun."
