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!
Sunny Beaches in SoCal, to Ballrooms in the Snowy City of Dance. But What Else is Written on the Next Pages Ahead?
The day when I venture out into the world and leave behind my friends, family, communities, and country in exchange for my brand-new journey has finally come. I expect that this new chapter of my life will be transformative in bolstering my self-confidence, independence, and self-sufficiency. From studying abroad, I hope to learn about Austrian and Viennese history, customs, politics, art, current events, attitudes, and my place within this geopolitical and sociocultural context. I am optimistic that I will meet new people from all over the world and create lifelong friendships.
