Education Abroad helped me gain a new perspective on the world and my place in it. It's challenging but once you learn to navigate the cultural and linguistic differences, you gain a real appreciate for the diversity of the world around you.

Choosing a study abroad program

Where would you like to study? How long do you want to stay—a semester, a summer, a year? Would you prefer to live with a family, with students from the host country, or with other Americans?

These are just a few things you should take into consideration. You can earn education abroad scholarships through IU and other units, such as your school or department, based on financial need and academic performance.
