Best experience of my time in college!
October 02, 2024by: Diana Marsan - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Vienna – European Society & CultureMy time in Vienna through IES Abroad was the most influential experience I had in my college career. I had the opportunity to meet life-long friends, explore new cities, immerse myself in new cultures, and take courses that challenged my worldview and helped me grow into a more compassionate and well-rounded individual. The people I met in Vienna are some of my closest friends. Our time traveling together cemented a bond that I will cherish forever. IES: Vienna also sponsors trips and provides information to aid students in traveling both in Austria and across Europe. IES: Vienna provides a space for its students to take academically rigorous courses that are designed to interact with the city of Vienna itself. My classes took trips to museums, parks, churches, and monuments to explore Vienese history and culture. IES guided us every step of the way through pre-departure, our time abroad, and as we transitioned back home. I would recommend the program to anyone looking to study abroad!
A dip into Austrian culture
August 14, 2019by: Reese Brinkley - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Vienna – European Society & CultureI spent my spring 2019 semester abroad in Vienna, Austria with the IES program and overall found the involvement in the cultural space and the academic environment to stimulate my desire for further learning and personal growth. Lots of food, music, art, and language to learn about and many opportunities for me to develop myself as a person. Overall good experience.
I learned how to be myself!
August 10, 2018by: Sasha Whitley - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Vienna – European Society & CultureI know it's cliche to say that going abroad changed my life, but it truly did. IES gave me the opportunity to connect with students from all over the world. Even though most of the participants were American, I had classes with people from all over the world, with different experiences and backgrounds. I loved getting to know both students from my home university and other universities, as well as being given the opportunity to connect with Austrian students through the IES-sponsored language buddy program. My favorite part of studying abroad through IES was going on IES-sponsored trips such as a weekend-long ski trip, and an excursion to the Wachau Valley. I got to see other places in Austria besides the city I was living in and had the chance to bond with other students and the IES staff. I really learned how to step out of my comfort zone and be myself!

Apartment. I loved the people that I lived with. We would do family dinners and became quite the family. But, I wasn't completely immersed in the language at home. I was out of my apartment and I only took classes in German...but I think I would have liked to speak the language more.

My entire family is from Czech Republic, so I grew up traveling to visit my relatives a lot, as well as visiting other European countries. This early exposure to travel and other cultures made me want to explore and learn even more on my own. When my sister decided to study in Prague, I was still in high school, but I knew I would want to live and study abroad somewhere too. By the time I was in college, the question was not if I was going abroad, but rather where I was going to go!

When I was in preschool, my family hosted an exchange student from Austria. Ever since, I have wanted to visit. Studying abroad seemed like the perfect opportunity to visit Austria and other surrounding countries. I chose Vienna because of the Psychology program as well as the history of the city.
