Spring semester abroad in Vienna

Recently, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Vienna with IES Abroad this past spring semester of college.

At first, I was a bit skeptical as everything was happening so quickly. I was adjusting to a new environment, meeting new people (and repeating the same introduction over and over), and on top of that, beginning to learn a new language - German.

As the semester progressed, I became increasingly grateful to be in Vienna. I met so many wonderful people, many of whom I still stay in touch with, and gained a fresh perspective on many aspects of life. The IES staff were incredibly supportive and fun, and I genuinely enjoyed most of my courses.

One of the highlights of my experience was how much I was able to travel - far more than I could have back at my home university. I would absolutely recommend Vienna as a study abroad destination.
