We've all heard that studying abroad is a journey. But for some, like our Cape Town blogger Alex Paone, it's literally a journey: He and his friends hiked four peaks in one day!
Check out our blog post of the week to read about his experiences (and to see his awesome photos!).
This month, we introduce you to our inspiring alum of the month, Deborah Schuler!
Sure, it can be nice to be connected 24/7, texting and Skyping with friends and family back home, when you're abroad. After all, it's convenient, and you're excited to tell them about your experiences!
Check out our blog post of the week, from Paris blogger Helena Archer, for a different take on communicating with family back home. Remember snail mail? It turns out, it has its benefits!
We're excited to announce the opening of two new summer programs in Sydney! Starting Summer 2014, students can enroll in:
Sydney Summer - Study Australia
Engaging courses, field study opportunities, and organized cultural events make sure you won’t have a dull moment when you study abroad in Sydney. Fulfill a grad requirement or try out a new discipline—whichever you choose, you’ll learn more about Australia, and yourself, than you ever could at home.
So apparently people have noticed…we’re a little bit obsessed with study abroad!
We’re excited to announce that we've been nominated as a finalist for GoAbroad.com's 2013 People's Choice Award!
This award honors the top study abroad organization as nominated by study abroad professionals. We're thankful to have been chosen by study abroad advisors from colleges and universities throughout the United States.
Do you have spring fever? So does our Siena blogger, Mary Kelso! Read her beautiful descriptions of Siena in the springtime in our blog post of the week.
P.S. Check out the last paragraph—sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?
On March 26, 2013, IES Abroad Nantes Center Director Dr. Thibaut de Berranger was promoted to the grade of Officer of the Order of Academic Palms at the University of Nantes by Dr. Michel de Villiers, who teaches PO372 Government and Politics in France since 1958 at IES Abroad. Dr. Marc Joyau, who teaches PO/EC382 The European Union and France at IES Abroad, was nominated to the grade of Knight of the Order of Academic Palms.
Something unexpected is just around the world—are you ready for the once-in-a-lifetime adventure of study abroad? (Hint: The answer is "yes"!)
The following programs have an application deadline of Wednesday, May 1st, just one week away!
