"Verify the identity of the person that you are renting housing from. Always choose the trip instead of homework. Take interest in other people's cultures and ask them about it. It was incredibly worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how important it is for me to be surrounded by people I care about. I also learned that I can manage without these people. I got better at German, and I got experience interning at a smallish international company, which was invaluable. Overall it was worthwhile, and I'm glad I had those experiences. "
JosieKate Cooley The University of Texas at Austin

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely a worthwhile experience! I gained new confidence both in myself as an individual but also in my ability to meet and connect with new people all over the world. I also gained insight into the cultural differences that come with each country I visited."

"My experience in Buenos Aires was truly unforgettable. That is a cliche thing to say, I know, as it is said by virtually each and every student who studies abroad. But I truly believe that my time not only in Buenos Aires, but specifically with IES was a special one to say the least. Buenos Aires is a magical city. You have the ..."
