Study Abroad with CIEE
"I learned a lot about myself. I was challenged in every way possible and found myself in situations that required me to make smart choices. Don't trust everyone and don't get comfortable with the city life, by that I mean be street smart."
Lizeth G Grinnell College
"If you're studying foreign languages and cultures, there really is no substitute to spending time in the country itself."
Ann G University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"I am thrilled to have see the country and learned about the social aspect of it's people. I feel MUCH more understanding of life in general. I wish I could teach people here what I have learned about gedogen, and about the easy going life the Dutch seem to have mastered (not that life isn't stressful for them, but they take thei..."

"I gained a deeper understanding of Japanese culture because I was able to be part of it. Any lack of information about the Japanese Culture was filled while studying there. This experience will make it easier for me to make future plans involving foreign travel, especially back to Japan."
Alejandro D Portland State University
"yes"
Jeff K University of Colorado - Boulder
"It was incredibly worth my while. I find myself talking about my experiences in Botswana all the time and learned the most about myself while I was there. I gained a lot of independence and self-assurance. Also, being exposed to their public health systems has mad me so much more passionate about the subject. "
Shawnda J University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"Amazing experience!"
Jacqueline C University of Rochester

Kathryn L Ramapo College

Jessica R Trinity University
"Being in Paris was great, the program and the coordinators would not be something I'd want to do over again, or revisit. Paris is a beautiful, rich city, and should be discovered."
angie a University of Houston
"Absolutely."
Kate F Trinity University
"yes!"
Holley S Trinity University
"My study abroad experience was phenomenal. I grew as a person and learned that not all generalized groups of white people suck. Why? Because they're foreign and you don't know them well enough to pass judgement."
Brian S Tulane University
"Yes, I travelled to more countries than I thought possible. "
Jennifer R Trinity University
"I was certainly satisfied with it, as I definitely improved my French and I got to see and do things that most people will never do in a lifetime. However, I still feel like the program didn't stress the all important cultural immersion enough; I feel that we should have had more structured opportunities to meet and interact wit..."
Andrew K Ohio State University - Columbus
"Basically I gained a new respect for Europe outside of the West. It was my first trip east of Germany and the horror stories of the Cold War past were mostly malarkey. Prague is honestly the best place I have ever been. I really want to focus my political science and geography majors towards Eastern Europe now because I think bo..."

Tess H University of Colorado - Boulder
"This program made coming back to America harder than I ever thought it would. It's not if I do or don't regret going, it's if I do or don't regret coming back! I loved my time in Morocco, and it has helped me feel more comfortable with the fact that I don't have the rest of my life planned out to the day. "
Samantha B University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth
"Yes, this experience demonstrated to me my ability to handle changes and things that I need to adapt to quickly. This didn't change my future plans so much as confirm them. I am ow even more convinced that I want to take a year to teach English in South Korea and it is because of the amazing experience that I had on this program..."
Erica M Stonehill College
"I think the most important thing I learn was to be more assertive. Its easy just to let people have their way, but I learned to stand up for myself. To make it in a foreign country away from anyone you know you have to learn to stand up for yourself. "
Abigail P University of Nebraska- Lincoln
"Yes, my study abroad experience was worthwhile because I've learned and embraced so much through the program that it made me a better person for who I am. "
Lori K Rochester Institute of Technology
"I am definitely more culturally aware than I was before. "
