Alicante: A Slice Of Heaven To Study In!

I saw great and new aspects of family life and a social norm unlike the typical suburban culture found in america. I have always loved to travel and I admit studying abroad was a great excuse for me to visit over 7 new countries and locations. This summer I will be applying to mostly interships out of the country.

Ciee Alicante Was My Family Away From The Us.

I am much more culturally sensitive. And I now hate airplanes. BUT I'm glad I did it and I'm very happy with CIEE. I wish I had a better time with advising for abroad. I'm glad I choose CIEE but I feel like my abroad advisor gave me ZERO support while I was here and before I came here. The class I took was PERFECT, but my univer...

It has made me a global citizen. It has left me with an international state of mind. I can't really describe how this experience has changed me in a short summary. You just have to go see for yourself.

Review Of A Summer In Alicante

I'm glad to have an understanding of how another culture works. I wasn't a big fan of the States before I left, but spending time in Spain made me more aware of what I do like about living here. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Spain, but I sorely missed my job as a counselor at Camp Longhorn the entire time that I was there.

Learning The Language Without Going To Clubs

I chose this one because of the homestay option. I don't like to go partying and this way I would be able to use the language and hear it all the time without placing myself in an uncomfortable location.

My study abroad experience was very worthwhile. It was my first time in Europe and I feel like I got a good feel for Spanish culture. I wish I could have stayed longer and learned more Spanish. I learned that the world's a bigger place than I previously thought and I have much more to see.

I really want to continue improving my spanish, it made me realize how important and amazing it is to be able to communicate in 2 different languages, It really opens up so many opportunities. Also, the Spanish culture is alot more relaxed and it made me really take a step back from what i used to consider important, i was alwa...

I gained more self-confidence and the trust in myself to do what I want. I gained appreciation for everything and not the sense of letting things bother me when they are trivial.
