"Work experience through my internship, school/study skills through the different methods of teaching, and exposure to another culture and world. Completely worthwhile."
Jonathan Bolton The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely. Living in a foreign country alone is difficult. The first thing you learn is how much you feel like you're missing out at home - your family, pets, friends, food (a very big thing), the weather, etc. It might make you feel lonely if you don't find people you really click with right away. But it's great exposure to pe..."
Jeanie S The University of Texas at Austin
"One of the most important things I gained was greater insight into the way people from other countries viewed the US. Because the primary elections were taking place during my semester abroad, it was very interesting to learn what people from other countries thought on the matter. Additionally, I was able to learn what other int..."
Catherine S The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to adapt to things I never thought I'd have to get used to (for example, the cleaning ladies cleaned the bathrooms by plunging the mops into the urinals and mopping the ground with it ... by the way this is a girl's bathroom... I wish I were lying). Somehow at HKUST doors can be broken (?!) and prevent you from get..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying in Amsterdam with IES wasn't just a life changing experience, it was preparation for life after graduation and acceptance of a new life style and culture. Looking back on it, I wouldn’t have chosen another program or location. I met tons of other study abroad students from various countries who said they loved their pro..."
Abigail Z The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a different perspective on life and Europe. I met a ton of international students that I will continue to keep in touch with. It was incredibly worthwhile and I honestly wish that I was able to stay for longer than four months."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Independence, Solo Traveling Skills, Language skills, Wonderful friendships. Yes absolutely worthwhile."
Bryson H The University of Texas at Austin
"I have a new perspective of the US and my educational experience at home. It was definitely worthwhile. "
Henry S The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a better understanding of the world around me and of myself. I also discovered how complex some of the areas of the world are and that what we see portrayed on TV, especially news, is not necessarily the reality of the situation. It has been an incredibly worthwhile experience. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a lot on insight on the history of East London and London in general. Traveling after the semester is the best part. During the traveling and the program itself the interaction with people from all over the world expands your understanding of the world. It was definitely worthwhile."
Alexander V The University of Texas at Austin
"The overall experience was worthwhile, it's what you put into it. I learned the significance of balancing outside life with school/program obligations"
Ryan T The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to manage my time and the amount of outside work that I needed to complete in order to preform well in my classes. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I spent more time with international students than with locals; it was a fantastic opportunity to interact with multiple world perspectives simultaneously. Also, it was a lot of fun learning London alongside others who were equally new to the city."
A student The University of Texas at Austin

A student The University of Texas at Austin

seerat j The University of Texas at Austin
"Learned a new outlook on life."
Oliver R The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned not to be afraid to travel alone (especially as a female traveler). This was the perfect time for me to learn about myself, what I like, and that I can offer myself the best company. The opportunities and experienced I from traveling around the UK and to different European countries if imperative in my belief that the ..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was totally worthwhile! I gained a whole lot of self confidence, learned how to be waaaaay more independent, and figured out the art of traveling in a group and by oneself. Such a great experience. :)"
Molly L The University of Texas at Austin
"YES!! Best advice I received before going abroad was: just say yes. I learned to say yes, and become more independent (including a two month solo backpacking trip across Argentina!) and more adventurous."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worthwhile. It was interesting to be in a different culture, even one so similar to the US. The University system is different and it was great to experience a different way of learning"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Friends. Classes I couldn't take at my home uni. It was definitely worth."
Joshua D The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I gained international experience, perspective, and understanding. I also made some lifelong friends."
Caleb J The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved Mexico, and although I didn't make as much of an effort to perfect my Spanish as I should have, I learned a lot from my Mexican friends about local culture. I also learned a lot about cultural exchange from my international friends. I enjoyed representing the United States abroad and learning more about the ties between ..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
