Study Abroad with CIEE
"I gained an open mind, one that only my experiences in unfamiliar surroundings could give me."
A student Providence College
"I found my true self and I realized that some things matter more in life than materialistic things and who has the nicest car,etc. What matters is relationships and establishing bonds especially with people from other cultures because you can not only learn about their culture but you can also learn about yourself."
Kaitlin B Providence College
"I learned that the best experiences, friendships and lifelessons come from overcoming struggle and discomfort. "
Helen G Middlebury College
"Yes very worth it"
Kristen B Providence College
"New perspective, better understanding of a different part of the world and a different culture and history. "
A student Middlebury College
"I got to learn about a wonderful, very different culture. It was definitely worth it. Everyone should go to Africa :) "
Paige P Trinity University
"You can make anywhere your home! You just need to let yourself become a part of your surroundings and try and immerse yourself as much as possible. "
A student Brandeis University
"A new perspective on a different culture."
Greg G Trinity University
"I learned more about myself and I was able to feel more comfortable with spanish as a main language."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about the culture, the problems facing the country as well as a lot about who I want to be and the live I want to live. "
Brittney P Clark University - Worcester
"I gained independence and proficiency in the language. It was totally worthwhile. I am a stronger person because of my experience."
A student Tufts University
"I truly loved the people and cannot wait to go back. By living side by side with a Moroccan host family and immersing myself in the culture I really opened my eyes to a beautiful culture and enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
maran.collett Ursinus College
"I learned and experienced a few new things about the culture, history, and politics there, however most of the study abroad was a waste. Except for the CIEE led trips, I feel I did not learn much about the culture because everything we did was with the other American students and the classes were useless."
Bethany W The University of Texas at Austin
"Cultural experience"
A student Clark University - Worcester
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I not only mastered Spanish, but I made friends for life, learned to cope in a totally new environment, learned to become more independent, and had so much fun becoming a Sevillan during the year. "
A student Wellesley College
"I grew a deep appreciation for the fortitude that Moroccans exhibit in an everyday setting. It made me appreciate, and disdain all the same, the convenience with which we live with here in America. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that there are other ways of living and I like them more than America's. And yes, it was."
jimmyya The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to become more cultural sensitive and to try new things. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how adaptable I am to new environments and how I'm more independent than I originally gave myself credit for. It was DEFINITELY a worthwhile experience and I was sad to leave."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a lot of experience from working in the clinics and volunteering, which was what I was looking for. I met great people. The physical and cultural experience is more valuable than the classroom experience. "
Komal R The University of Texas at Austin
"To be independent, to not sweat the little things, and to realize there's more to life than a strict work schedule. "
A student Providence College
"My Korean (especially listening, vocab, and basic skills e.g. taking a taxi) improved a TON. If you study and do the homework for Korean class then you'll learn a lot. The most valuable aspect, however, is just learning about Korean culture and experiencing it first hand."
Kevin D The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worth it. I learned a language, and I learned about a culture through that language. "
A student Brandeis University
"I was finally able to start my studies of Arabic and feel much more comfortable traveling overseas. My French is also much better. It was absolutely a worthwhile experience, and I hope to be able to visit Morocco again in the future."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot...mostly you learn a lot about yourself. Who you are, what you enjoy in life. Probably the best lesson I learned was to enjoy life. In the US, we don't know how to enjoy life. We always work work work. In Spain, they know how to enjoy life. Before Spain, I was always stressed out with classes and was always worki..."
