I studied abroad through the IES Abroad Dublin Irish Studies program. I loved this program because it allowed me to have a flexible schedule outside of academics. This program also chooses to take much of the academic process outside of the classroom.

My semester with IES was one that I will never forget. I had such an incredible time getting to explore a new country and with the guidance of the IES faculty my adventure was even more meaningful.

I wanted to study abroad for the opportunity to experience what it is like to live in another country and go beyond feeling like a tourist. Studying abroad was an opportunity to travel outside of Indiana and see some amazing countries that are different from my own. I wanted to be outside of my comfort zone and find a place that could feel like a second home. I also wanted to get some work experience abroad, and studying abroad with an internship component gave me this opportunity.

I always knew that I wanted to study abroad, even in high school. The idea of getting to live outside of American culture, meet people internationally, and learn how to live on my own in a different environment was exciting to me, and something that I always wanted to try.

Typically, I’m not adventurous or brave enough to go out of my comfort zone. With that said, I am both surprised and proud of myself for taking on this life-changing challenge! I chose to study abroad because it was the perfect opportunity to travel. Life gets hectic quickly, so being able to travel while continuing my education seemed like the ideal time to explore the world.
