Study Abroad with IFSA
"Definitely worthwhile! I gained a lot of understanding and patience and I learned more than I could ever begin to write in this tiny box."
Rachel K University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"Language improved dramatically, made incredible friends from all over the world including local Chinese. Definitely worthwhile and encourage every student interested in Shanghai to participate with Alliance."
A student Boston College
"I gained friends, an new way to learn and research and study, a new perspective on my heritage, etc. It was the most worthwhile thing I've done in my life thus far."
Elizabeth C Fordham University
"I learned a ton about myself. I became even more independent and comfortable with myself and my ability to live in the world. I missed home, but I also learned not to be scared of graduating from college because the tools I have learned at Brandeis will be applicable no matter where I end up in a year."
A student Brandeis University
"My language skills improved dramatically and I discovered I do really want to live abroad."
A student Brandeis University
"I have grown so much creatively and the time I have spent here has allowed me to gain confidence in my personal and academic skills. I have travelled a lot and gained great friendships (especially with the Canadians)!"
Chastity D Brandeis University
"I was able to adjust to a new culture and experience a totally different group of friends than I'm used to at Brandeis. The Scottish people are friendly and wonderful, as are the international students who I lived with. The academic system was certainly different and took some getting used to but I learned something new and in..."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained insight into schooling in the UK system, and thoroughly enjoyed my time; however, I gained very little academically. There was plenty of fun to be had, but aside from my interest in golf I don't think it was worth going."
A student Trinity University
"Absolutely worthwhile. Future students, do not get yourself sucked into a group of strictly international or American friends. Do everything you can to put yourself in situations to meet locals, that's what the best experience of being abroad is. "
A student Trinity University
"It was worthwhile. Gained insight about how other people see the world."
A student Trinity University
"The single most worthwhile thing I have ever done! I made so many new friends and learned so much about myself and how I operate independently from everything that I know."
Zach M Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself (which sounds cheesy, but it's true) and I really learned a lot about Australia, and their history and culture both historically and now. Although Australian society is similar to that of the States it's culture is surprisingly different in ways and I also had the opportunity to visit Fiji and see bo..."
Megan G Trinity University
"Definitely Worthwhile and I wish I could do it again. I would be more outgoing than I was."
Phillippa S Trinity University
"I learned to be independent. It was completely worthwhile and I would do it again in a heartbeat."
Amy_2058 Trinity University
"I learned a lot about how I function as an individual, as well as how to have a fun diverse experience."
Caroline K Trinity University
"I learned SO much chinese, the rest of the classes were a joke. I="
A student Wellesley College
"I liked living in England. That in and of itself was a valueable experience but I did not learn more than I had already known. I would not go as a student. "
A student Austin College
"I gained so much knowledge on a culture that I hadn't previously experienced. I learned a lot of Mandarin and I met some amazing people. It was very worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"The language program was strong, Shanghai was amazing. "
Hayley G Wellesley College
"I gained an increased sense of independance because I was on my own in a foreign country. I gained a broader view of the world and enjoyed seeing how the Irish view the U.S"
A student Assumption College
"It was very worth while. I was able to gain a lot of confidence in my self and learned a lot about the world around me"
kristi.sizemore.3 Austin College
"The knowledge of being able to live and thrive abroad. The ability to fully tackle learning Chinese."
Johnny W Tufts University
"By exploring the world outside my ideal comfort zone (which, in Scotland, would be curling up under lots of blankets and drinking tea), I made some life long friends with whom I explored the country, learned local customs and cultural differences, and shared loads of creative energy. While traveling, you have a wealth of resourc..."
Zoey H Brandeis University
"I learned about adapting to a new culture very different from my own and about living in a country where they don't speak English. I thought that the experience was very worthwhile."
Rachel H Bentley University
"I learned a TON about Argentina in general. I also learned how to be alone and be content alone (coming from dorm life in the US, it can be surprisingly uncomfortable). It was 150% worthwhile - no one can take this experience away from me."
A student Fordham University
