- Small Town Gal in the Big City04/26/14
I'm from a small town in Indiana so traveling to London for a whole summer was a little scary at first but as soon as I navigated my way through the Tube for the first time I was hooked. It's easy to love a city when you've been dreaming about it forever
but its another to get to experience it at its best and that is what IES does. The staff is fantastic and the courses were the best I've ever had in my college career. There is always something for you to do either with the program or on your own.

I loved studying with IES. They made our summer incredibly fun and memorable. Since studying with IES, I have studied with another program in a different location, and I have truly come to appreciate how special of a program it was. The staff truly felt
like my own friends by the end of the summer, and they would go above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions. The classes always held my interest and made me truly appreciate British and London culture. The living situation wasn't perfect, but it was nice for the amount of time we lived there. The trips IES had organized for us to take were absolutely wonderful. They hire the best, funniest, and most interesting tour guides and really aim to make each trip memorable, while still allowing for free time to do some exploring on your own. I never felt unsafe in the city, no matter what time of night, and I felt prepared to handle it if any problems did arise based on our safety orientation at the beginning of the trip. I could not recommend any other program more than I do IES. They are a fantastic program and made preparation and transitions painless. I would absolutely study with them again if I was given the opportunity.
