1. England
When you study abroad in London, you won't want to return home. @hannah_ogren loved studying abroad there so much that she became an IES Abroad Ambassador!

2. England
"Five years later, and I still wish my plane ticket was a one-way." @bahcallmemaybe studied abroad in London five years ago and still misses it!

3. France
"That's the picture from my French textbook but I'm actually here." When you study abroad in Nantes you will be able to learn about French culture and language first-hand just like @teeeeeee_j did!

4. Ireland
All roads lead to studying abroad in Dublin! Well, maybe not all roads, but this scenic road captured by @ecmsparrow does!

5. Ireland
I scream, you scream, we all scream for.... gelato! When you study abroad in Dublin, gelato will become one of your new favorite treats, right @reb.mitch?

6. Italy
Rome is a nice place to visit when you are studying abroad in Nice. @kenzieinnice was able to travel all over the continent during her time abroad!
![italy_positano_amalfi_coast_brianamad](/sites/default/files/styles/text_with_image_square/public/2022-08/italy_positano_amalfi_coast_brianamad.jpg?h=13955ce6&itok=rXudhbpu)
7. Italy
When you study abroad in Italy, you can take short trips to places like the Amalfi Coast! (It's actually a field trip option on our Rome study abroad and internship programs!) @brianamadd definitely took advantage of this opportunity when she studied abroad!
![new_zealand_canterbury_tessmullen](/sites/default/files/styles/text_with_image_square/public/2022-08/new_zealand_canterbury_tessmullen.jpg?h=13955ce6&itok=Ioh2b-FE)
8. New Zealand
When you study abroad in Christchurch, you will be blown away by all there is to see in New Zealand. Or maybe literally blown away if you are @tessmullen!
![south_africa_johannesburg_gauteng_snappingbliss](/sites/default/files/styles/text_with_image_square/public/2022-08/south_africa_johannesburg_gauteng_snappingbliss.jpg?h=13955ce6&itok=1BD2x7J3)
9. South Africa
One of the great parts about studying abroad in Cape Town is being immersed in the culture. For example, in Johannesburg where @snappingbliss had the opportunity to meet with the local South Africans!

10. South Africa
South Africa is such a beautiful country, and when you study abroad in Cape Town, you will have the chance to experience the city, the beaches, and all the way up to the mountains. @__keepingupwithkim__ was able to capture some of this beauty.
