Keenan H Carleton College
"It was the most stimulating thing I've ever done- I truly had to be independent a lot and I loved it. "
Lingerr S Carleton College
"My study abroad experience taught me to be more patient and allowed me to learn about myself in a completely novel environment. The program was amazingly well-developed and the local staff were incredibly helpful. This experience has made me realize how much of the world there is to see and has made me want to go abroad again ..."
Elise G Carleton College
"It was incredible."
Hannah K Carleton College
"It's changed me in more ways than I know. It's made me more culturally aware and has given me a deeper appreciation for the arts and art history. "
Zoe C Carleton College
"This experience was definitely worth while. I learned a lot about hydroelectric and geothermal systems as well as the type of policy that needs to be considered in order to make renewable energy viable in a country."
Nina W Carleton College

Michelle A Carleton College

Erik V Carleton College

A student Carleton College

A student Carleton College
"Loved it, showed me what I want to do with my life and filled some holes in understanding myself."
Hai N Carleton College
"I became even more confident, mature, and independent. If you want to make correct decisions about your future in this now global world, you need to see what the world has to offer. This doesn't mean that I will end up living somewhere outside the US. It means that I am more confident in the decisions that I make because I have..."
Rhys L Carleton College
"Yes. It was a great way to see Europe. "
Ryland B Carleton College
"Most definitely. It helped me decide on what part of my discipline (anthropology) and what career I am passionate about, and I knew people I would want to work with again in the future. India is an inexhaustible source of knowledge."
Rafadi H Carleton College
"Worthwhile doesn't begin to describe it. It was simultaneously the most difficult thing I have ever done and the most wonderful. The program had flaws, to be sure - flaws that could be remedied easily enough (and probably won't be, because that's how things work). But my understanding of other people, other cultures, other wo..."
Sarah P Carleton College
"It was fantastic and really gave me direction in my future career paths."
Ken Z Carleton College
"ABSOLUTELY. I made friends who I will keep for life, I was exposed to a new culture, and I gained invaluable language skills. I would do it again in a heartbeat -- and in a way, I have, seeing as I currently live and work in Buenos Aires."
Paul M Carleton College
"This experience was everything I hoped for and more, though not always in the ways I expected. I will go back to Mali."
Fayel D Carleton College
"On my program, I navigated a big city after living in rural college towns my whole life. I formed loving and warm bonds with people I never would’ve met otherwise. I explored and grew and learned and laughed and cried and ate too many empanadas, and IES Santiago gave me the space for that. It was absolutely amazing. "
Nina Muller Carleton College
"Absolutely, I'm certain the international, conservation, and field experience I gained there will stay with me for my entire life."
Kadin William Woolever Carleton College
"I learned an incredible amount of detail about local species of plants and animals, and also a lot about the complexity and necessity of planning well for large, long-term group expeditions. It was absolutely worthwhile and the skills and knowledge I gained there will serve me for a lifetime."
Kadin Woolever Carleton College
"I learned a lot about Sicily, a place I didn't know a whole lot about before going abroad. I also was able to take the chance to look reflectively on my own culture and my choices that led me to Sicily and I learned a lot about myself. I am more culturally aware than I was before, definitely. And I have a lot of respect for anyb..."
