Study Abroad with IFSA
"Gained maturity, it was completely worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned much more about myself and about the real world than I learned about academic material. I learned valuable life skills such as greater independence and confidence in my ability to handle nearly any situation that arises, I learned how to communicate more effectively, how to pay attention to detail, how to stay safe and..."
A student Berea College
"While most Americans became really close with other Americans abroad and they traveled together and took really cool photos all over Europe, I chose to join a sports team instead. While this took up much of my time, it was most definitely worth it. I feel that I made lasting connections with local students through the team and..."
Mary C Brandeis University
"It was definitely worthwhile to come here. The people were friendly, the culture was great, and the classes were excellent."
highintherunning Fordham University
"I learned how to live and study very independently. At a small school like Middlebury, that can be somewhat hard. I feel as though I can now live in a city after I graduate relatively easily. "
A student Middlebury College
"Cultural awareness; self-awareness; Friendships; Appreciation of what I have; Appreciation for the beauty/wonders of the world. YES!"
A student Shenandoah University
"The trips were fun and my Spanish did improve a slight bit but I was incredibly stressed out by how inadequately I was doing in classes and felt like I had little emotional support while there."
A student Austin College
"I was able to become close friends with people in England who I plan to visit again. I also learned more about England and America by being abroad. It was definitely worthwhile"
A student Hartwick College
"I learned more about myself and became more confident as an individual. I also learned to slow down, calm down, and don't stress if something goes wrong, especially if there is nothing you can do about it. I also got to improve my cooking skills (and my patience) in general."
A student University of Puget Sound
"I think that I became more confident because of my experience abroad. I learned an incredible amount about myself and an array of new skills. I feel that I grew into myself as an adult by taking this step away from my parents and familiar circumstances."
A student Trinity University
"Lust for life. There's so much amazing stuff out there on Earth, being in London made me want to get out and live it. 100% worthwhile, if only to get out of the tiny Trinity bubble for half a year. And of course, take advantage of the collegiate financial net while living in another country."
A student Trinity University
"I found myself. I was the best thing that I have ever done in my life. I would do it over and over and over again if I could with the same people."
Allie C Trinity University
"Life is short. Go for it. It was absolutely worthwhile."
Maxwell R Trinity University
"Yes. I learned more about myself and different cultures than I ever felt possible."
Richelle S Trinity University
"Definitely worthwhile. I got exposure to the arts, sports, life style, opera, dramas, historical sites. Learnt alot from this experience. "
A student Trinity University
"My experience abroad was definitely one of the most worthwhile experiences I've ever had. I gained a lot of courage to meet new people and try new and unique things. I also learned how to plan out my own trips pretty well, since I traveled as often as possible."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to take risks, live on my own and adapt to living in a completely new place. "
Joshua C Providence College
"Totally worthwhile--I learned a lot about myself academically and socially. I became way more independent and learned how to be a savvy traveler. "

A student Brandeis University
"I appreciate campus life more than before"
A student Brandeis University
"I wouldn't give up this experience for the world. I am definitely a changed person since studying abroad, and I made tons of local, lifelong friends. A few of them even came to visit me at home this summer! I am so glad I decided to study abroad in Ireland, and that I really put myself out there in the local social environment. ..."
Kacey R Tufts University
"I feel so much more cultured, outgoing, confident, and grateful for having such a wonderful experience. It really changes you to live in another part of the world. You will have an experience that many people don't get to have."
