Life Changing Experience

by: Amelie Bauer - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Valparaiso/Vina del Mar, Chile

Going abroad is a monumental time in someone’s life. The ability to live abroad with a host family allowed me to fully emerge within the community. I wouldn’t change my experience for the world. I would recommend a program in Latin America over anywhere in Europe. It is life changing.

I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will I always be grateful for- but not without its faults.

This program was great. I have recommended it to other students considering Spanish Language study abroad programs. However, I am black, so I did have some unique and unfortunate situations that I was put in that other students in our group really didn't have to deal with. I had some problems with my initial host mom, so me and my friend had to switch host parents 3 weeks into the program. Our first host mom basically tried to scam money out of us to repair her broken shower system. She accused ...

My favorite experience ever!

Studying abroad in Glasgow, Scotland as an American student was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Living amongst other American ISA students allowed me to feel comfortable living in a new country as we were all going through the experience together. While my ISA roommates became my best friends, I also made friendships with other international students that lived in my building, were in my classes, and I met on campus international student events. I felt supported and welcomed as an interna...

I chose to study abroad because I never left my hometown to go to college. I felt like I was missing out on the college experience because I didn't even live in a dorm or have a meal plan. College to me was just an expansion of high school; same friends, same place, same life. I needed time for me, I needed to get away, if just for a few months, I needed to feel that sense of independence and homesickness. I wanted to live a little.

I decided to study abroad because I had always wanted to travel and see the world. I also thought it would be a great learning experience being on my own and far away from my support system for the first time in my life. The hard part was deciding where to study. The possibilities are endless!

I searched high and low for the perfect study abroad program. For me, ISA had the best balance of cultural integration, scholastics, and FUN. It was evident to me that their top priority was ensuring we had the best possible experience before, during, and after our trip. I couldn’t have asked for a better program.
