Study Abroad with IFSA
"THE BEST!"
Lauren G Tufts University
"It was amazing. I actually chose to take some classes abroad versus at my home university to give myself a better global understanding and my adviser agreed. My friend and I loved that Ireland was a gateway to the rest of Europe for weekend trips and you never get bored of looking out your window and seeing remnants of castles..."
Rachel G University of Minnesota - Crookston
"yes, it helped me be more independent and adventurous"
jessica v Wellesley College
"Yes. I am more aware of being accepting of different things. "
Wing Shan Stephenie C Brandeis University
"I learned about myself. It was interesting from a psychological point of view to really see how similar cultures are, even when they hold different opinions and believe they are different."
Julia D Wellesley College
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile and I learned a lot about myself. First of all I now know that I do not like living in big cities and that I need to have easy access to outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, biking and running. I would not want to live in Buenos Aires for an extended period of time. On th..."
Cailey S Wellesley College
"absolutely. it gave me a new perspective on many aspects of my life."
Katrina S Wellesley College
"Studying abroad in Chile opened my eyes to so many things. It really helped me grow as a person and has definitely shaped my future career plans. After traveling around South America and taking a class about environmental policy, I have now decided that I want to go on to get my Masters in Public Health and work in environment..."
Lauren B The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes definitely! Studying abroad is an amazing experience no matter where you go but Edinburgh is definitely unique. I learned a lot about Scotland and the UK from classes, travel and the people. I definitely want to travel more in the future."
Lisa Z Tufts University
"I assumed tremendous debt for this trip, and I don't regret it at all. I have come to appreciate my Fordham education so much more. Furthermore, living abroad with British students has profoundly changed me and my outlook on the world. I am more confident, independent, and brave for having lived abroad. I wouldn't trade my exper..."
Mary A Fordham University
"YES. I want to go back!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to slow down and enjoy life, to actually listen when I talk to people, that the world is an amazing place. I learned that a lot of our preconceived notions about Latin America are completely wrong. I have fallen in love with South America, and while I will most likely not pursue a career or life there, I will no doubt ..."
Brian G DePauw University
"It was absolutely amazing. I already miss it and it's been less than 2 weeks since the program ended. It's so much fun and I learn so much about things I assume. In England, internet is NOT everywhere, there's not even internet in Starbucks, the only place with free wi-fi is McDonald's. Also there's a 1 GB bandwidth limit on int..."
Hongbo W Brandeis University
"Yes. I loved it. I traveled a lot, made great friends, and enjoyed learning there. It was a great balance of work, play, and travel. "
Amy W Wellesley College
"Even "bad" experiences are good experiences in that they show you what you value in life and help you create more informed opinions on a wide variety of topics, from your own preferences to world politics and economics."
Laura S Illinois State University
"I grew as a person. Through learning a new language and meeting my boyfriend, I've grown lightyears."

Rachel R Barnard College
"Definitely worthwhile."
Melissa W Providence College
"Completely and so immensely so, worhtwhile!"
Danielle D Providence College
"I loved it. I couldn't get enough. For me, it was mostly about the people I met. Of course, the course was fine and I learned that I really do want to go into design (so yes, it impacted my future plans), but I think what I took away from the experience was the friendships."
mm m Skidmore College
"I became more independent and mature. I loved being abroad in Europe and I would like to maybe volunteer or study abroad again during law school."
Kristen C Providence College
"Well, as I said in my course description, I'm now writing an honors thesis at my home university based on the British Constitution and what I learned in Professor Hazell's class. I am much more experienced as a traveler and thus am more confident in my abilities to go places on my own than I have been. I was able to see family..."
Allison B Ursinus College
"During my study abroad experience I learned more about myself and the things I enjoy that I may never have taken part in had I not gone abroad. I gained an understanding on the difference between American university life and university life in Ireland; as well as the different family traditions, and historical events. I loved th..."
