Yael S Barnard College
"It was wonderful. It made me a better student. I realized how much I love America. I discovered quirky British words, and things they do totally differently. Oxford is basically Hogwarts. I would highly recommend."
Alexandra C Tufts University
"Australia is not that different from the United States in terms of culture. The people however are more relaxed and seem to enjoy life more and stress out less than people I have met in the northeast. My time there showed me that though work is very important, its also just as important to make time to relax and have fun. I hope..."
Jahanara A Wellesley College
"YES! Improved my Spanish, traveled, learned how to problem solve and live on my own, adapt to different living situations, experienced a different university, made great friends in a different country, etc. "
Sarina S Wellesley College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned to get along with many different types of people, I learned about cultures that are entirely different than that of America. I learned that not all other peoples hate Americans, but that it is easy to get caught up in political discussions just because you are from America. "

"Definitely worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoyed the country the people and the locations that Argentina had to offer."
David G Trinity University

I learned to cook in the flats and I learned a lot about tramping. I enjoyed taking classes outside of engineering and learning about di..."
Afton G Trinity University
"It was so worthwhile--it opened my eyes to a part of the world I had never seen before, and it was amazing. I became so much more independent being on my own, and I loved every minute of it. I met amazing people, saw beautiful sights, and got to travel to places that I've never been before! "
Jordan P Trinity University
"It was incredibly worthwhile and I wouldn't change anything about it even if I could. I loved the country and especially the people. It was such a unique experience that I feel incredibly lucky to have had. "
Jenna P
"I've learned about the hardships and challenges faced by the native cultures of New Zealand and Australia in reaction to European settlers, and I feel like this knowledge has given me some perspective, in which I could view Western European/American culture from the outside looking in. I could see how fortunate I am, and the fl..."

Kimberley C Wellesley College
"My study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. The only regret I have is not opting for a longer program. I learned so much about history, culture and, though cliche, myself. Of course my Spanish improved as well. I loved the city and would love to live there someday. Traveling abroad really allows you to gain a perspectiv..."
Viviana A The University of Texas at Austin
"Understanding of Mexican people, Spanish language, life abroad, outlook on Americans, and experiences of a traveler."
Patrick C Trinity University
"Traveling without my parents is something I hadn't really done. I am much more confident in myself to get things done and organize things now. Immersing myself in a completely new place was a huge adventure. The friends I made and other people I met along the way totally made the experience for me. I had to be accepting of a new..."
Rebecca B The University of Texas at Austin
"I became much more self-reliant and independent. I gained so much perspective with this experience and really enjoyed it. "
Julia O The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience made me want to travel and see other Latin American countries because every country has a different culture, which interests me. I also feel like going to other countries make you more humble because we're used to living in the US and learning about things only about the US, but foreign people know so much about th..."
Kathy T The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, this experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about Latin America and the challenges there. I really enjoyed Argentina and loved all the things to do in Buenos Aires. I met a lot of great friends in my program and think very highly of IFSA programs. "
Laura O The University of Texas at Austin

Amy L Rice University
"I would recommend studying abroad to anyone and everyone! It was an amazing experience that has seriously changed my life. I have also made some of my best friends while abroad.
