Study Abroad with IFSA
"yes, there is a lot to be learnt from being in a foreign country alone. much personal growth can be learnt "
A student Brandeis University
"Academically, I took courses I would never be able to at Middlebury. Most importantly, however, the year abroad puts you in a situation where you are forced to grow like no other. It was easily the most worthwhile experience. "
Nikhil S Middlebury College
"I met so many people from around the world and got to really be my extroverted self. I tried so many new foods and traveled to so many other countries I would have never gotten to go to otherwise. I found out I LOVE Lisbon and I never would have gone there if it hadn't just been the cheapest flight in March!"
Jaramie C Brandeis University
"I spent a lot of time reflecting and was able to explore a whole new city that I actually lived in. I was able to create a whole new world for myself out there. "
Isabelle A Brandeis University

"Although there is no foreign language involved, the whole living and academic environment is completely different. It would be totally worth it to spend a semester or even a year experiencing it."

A student Brandeis University

A student Brandeis University
"I gained experience and a perspective/ appreciation for other cultures."

A student Middlebury College
"While abroad i discovered my strengths and my weaknesses. Who I am who I’m not and the young woman I aspire to be.

Being there was not by accident and I..."
