In their

Jeanine · Germany"Spending 4 weeks with Study in Bali at PIB College was honestly one of the best decisions I've made. We weren't just learning, we were out there filming, shooting, exploring, and creating."
Juliana Power de Llano · Brazil & Australia"This program and trip to Bali changed my life. I had the best time ever and now I can't wait to be back in Bali and learn more and more about this unique architecture. I feel IDB Bali is the best place to study tropical style and design."

Negin · Germany"I came here 2 years ago and fell in love with the country, and this gives you such a good opportunity to learn more about the culture, the way that they design over here. It's just an amazing experience."
Kayleigh Davies · UK"Coming here alone, I was warmly welcomed by both the teachers and my fellow participants, who quickly made me feel completely at home. This combination of heartfelt community and practical learning has created a truly special experience."
Kerong He · China"Bali and this program was my best decision ever!"

Lia-Mara Bösch · Switzerland"Balinese culture has managed to find a bridge between traditional architecture and modern architecture, and you see that everywhere in Bali. Being here just inspires you so much."
Jaime Noriega · Peru"I was really scared to jump off that cliff. Everyone held my hand and cheered for me. People I had known for four weeks became my biggest support system in a completely unknown place."
Jaanvi Gindwani · Indonesia"From day one I felt at home here in Bali, and to this day, after five months, I still do. Home is also a place you can choose for yourself, and not one that is chosen for you. It is a feeling, not always a building. I'd say I found it here."
Emily Plat · Germany"I've met incredible people, found a second family, and explored hidden gems far beyond the reach of most tourists. This trip exceeded all my expectations and opened my eyes to the value of following my passions. If this isn't your sign to start your next adventure, I don't know what is."
