Holiday Availability: All IES Abroad offices will be closed on Dec 24, Dec 25, Dec 31, and Jan 1 as we take some time to celebrate. During the weeks of 12/22 and 12/29, our team will be smaller, so responses may take longer than usual. Thanks for your understanding—and happy holidays!
Due to the safety of our program, my first two courses for my program were switched causing my class to go to the Amazon sooner than all the other IES Abroad classes. We were all originally supposed to go in the second course before leaving for the Galapagos, but instead we got to go less than a month into our program!
Prioritizing school while being abroad has been an entire challenge within itself. Don’t tell my professors!
As midterms approach within the next week, I feel overwhelmed. I’ve been traveling the past few weekends, and the last week of February has come quicker than I imagined. I have several midterms and presentations due next week, and it feels like too much to manage at once. That’s probably my own fault…. :)
Hi everyone! Now that classes are in full swing and I’m properly settled into a routine, I thought I’d share a day in my life as an IES Abroad Granada student. Here’s a detailed look into what I did last Tuesday.
10 a.m.: Wake up! I got really lucky with my schedule in that I don’t have classes early in the morning, so I usually set my alarm for 10 am. Unless I was up really late the night before I’m almost always awake before then, though. Once I’m up, I get dressed and get ready for the day, and then I go into the kitchen for breakfast.
