Are you ready to fall head over heels for study abroad? Check out our Top 10 study abroad Instagram photos from September & October 2018. Our students captured wildlife in South Africa, learned how to live like a local in Shanghai, and reflected on their experiences in London and Milan!
1. Austria
"I learned a lot about responsibility and living alone, about myself and who I want to be, about mental health (my own and in general), and about exploring myself and the world around me. My experience abroad was eye-opening and gave me such a different perspective on myself and the world." When you study abroad in Vienna you'll learn a lot about Austria, but you might also learn more about yourself, just like @jessmariea123!
2. China
When you study abroad in Shanghai you will be encouraged to do like the locals do, and eat like them too! "I’ve found a barber and I’m now a pro at eating rice with chopsticks, this makes me a Shanghai local now, right?" @tuurrnce has really stepped up his chopstick game.
3. England
"My time in England was everything I could have asked for and more!" @hannah_ogren is one of our IES Abroad Ambassadors! These are students who recently studied abroad and want to encourage others to do so as well. Check out our Ambassadors page to get first-hand accounts from peers about what study abroad is truly all about.
4. Austria
When you study abroad in Vienna you will have the opportunity to visit different countries and see some amazing sights. @finnerty.photography visited the French Riviera, also known as Côte d'Azur, and got this great shot!
5. France
"Paris, I miss you and your croissants, and your art, and your street music, and Boucicaut, and wine nights on the Seine and L’As du Fallafel. Even the metro mobs during rush hour. See you soon France." @alissasmith5, Paris will be waiting for you to return!
6. Germany
When you wake up before the sun rises, you are sure to see some beautiful sights. @nathan_smail sure did while studying abroad in Freiburg!
7. Ireland
"Bundoran, thank you for giving me that 'at the edge of the world' feeling for the first time." @gvbphotojawns caught the light just right while in the most southerly town in Donegal!
8. Italy
@jkjoykim is another one of our IES Abroad Ambassadors, and this is what she had to say about her experience studying abroad in Milan! "My time in Milan this past spring was life-changing, and I could not recommend a more eye-opening and valuable experience. Living and studying in a completely new environment for an entire semester made me grow as a student, friend, and a person overall. It opened so many doors for me and allowed me to see parts of the world I had been dreaming about forever, like Florence!"
9. Japan
@chiachiamaru and her friends look like they had a blast exploring Sankei-en, a garden in Yokohama!
10. South Africa
You never know what you will find while studying abroad in Cape Town. @snappingbliss spotted this very photogenic antelope in Kruger National Park.
