Cape Town: Another Chapter Of An Amazing Four YearsI have become more aware of my own strengths and weaknesses. I never realized how independent I was. |

Ciee Cape Town South Africa The Best Decision Of My Life.My time in South Africa was undoubtedly the best experience of my life. I gained a new perspective not only on South Africa, but on how the rest of the world views my own country. If students enter their study abroad with an open mind and curiosity they will definitely have a similar experience. While abroad I was surrounded by ... |

Ciee Cape Town: Arts And Sciences Allowed Me To Break BarriersIt was the most amazing 4 months of my entire life. I was truly able to live in a different country and experience a different way of life. This forced and allowed me to grow into a much stronger, independent, and cultured individual. I learned an incredibly deal about myself and can't wait to do something like this again. |

South Africa Transformed MeI learned to complain less and take advantage of my education. My ideas about South Africa were challenged in several ways and I grew a lot because I made every effort to immerse myself in the local culture(s). My time there has heightened my desire to ensure that everyone has access to an excellent education as a way to reverse... |

Cape Town: More Expensive Internet, Less Expensive FriendsI want to go many more places in Africa now, and I really appreciate what I have now, not that I didn't before, but I now know how some people can truly have nothing. |

South Africa: Always Fascinating, Never BoringStudying abroad helped me to become more independent and confident. It also opened me up to Africa. I knew little of South Africa before I went. But now I am in love with the country and I am much more interested in Africa. This program helped me realize just how complex South Africa is and often how misunderstood South Africa a... |

South Africa: An Incredible Experience With Some Program Short ComingsAbsolutely. While i have a lot of criticisms, it was one of the most wonderful things i have ever done. What I learned, in and out of school, cannot even be summarized here. I learned so much history, culture, music, and life lessons. Meeting new people, from a different lifestyle is a gift, and an important experience. It truly... |

Cape Town, South Africa. Learning The Art Of Walking Slowly.I learned so much it is impossible to distill down into a few sentences. I deepened my understanding of not only myself, but the world around me and my place and role within that world. I gained a self assurance and confidence, a deepening knowledge of who I am, what I am capable of and what I am becoming. I learned how it is ... |

Cape Town: I Cannot Imagine Having Completed My De Pauw Experience Without The 6 Months I Spent ThereYES. As I mentioned above, I cannot imagine having completed my time at DePauw without this experience. It has changed my outlook on life and I hope to return to Africa very soon. |

Ciee Cape Town Is The Most Beatiful City In The World.I loved it. South Africa is awesome. I really want to go back. Going to Cape Town allowed me to explore Africa, which is probably the continent I will least likely get to travel to in the future (because everywhere else is easier and much more accessible to me). So I am glad I can check a region of the world of my list of places... |

South Africa Study Abroad: Highly RecommendedYes, absolutely! I learned so much about South Africa and other walks of life, and I also learned so much about myself and matured so much. |

The Ama Zing South Africa: A Lesson In Ubuntu And A Slower Paced LifeI feel that Cape Town was the perfect place for me to be at this point in my life. I was in many ways incredibly independent there, more-so even than at Tulane, and I feel that I learned to rely on myself a lot more. I also greatly enjoyed seeing such a vibrant city, where cultures from such diverse areas of the world have meshe... |

South Africa: Made It ThroughI learned to adapt to my environment and not seem an ignorant American. |

Cape Town Is Lekkerit was absolutely worthwhile. gained a better understanding of the world for the average citizen of the world, not the average citizen of the west. i got a chance to see how millions live without true and simple luxuries of life that we as westerners take for granted and consider essential. |

(No Title)Studying abroad was probably the best experience of my entire life. I met some of the most interesting people I have ever met, and saw things and places that I will never see anywhere else in the world. Cape Town is the most beautiful city I have ever been to. I hope to go back as soon as possible. |
Max M.04/21/2010 |
(No Title)Yes yes yes. This is an experience I wouldn't trade for anything. It has been eye-opening, as well as ENDLESS fun. 6 months here and still not a dull moment. |

(No Title)Absolutely. CIEE provided a bunch of cultural excursions to help us better understand the region and it's issues. I volunteered in two different places and was able to learn about the community from that perspective. The people on the program, as well as the local UCT students who lived with us were all incredibly open minded an... |
