Study Abroad with CIEE
"My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwile. I would never change one minute of it for the world. Although, everything wasn't perfect, looking back, I realized that it couldn't possibly have been better. I learned so much about myself and how I perceive the world. It has improved my cultural awareness. I would like to in..."
Hilary H The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely. Again, this study abroad experience is great for students that are proactive and willing to work hard. I learned a lot through volunteering outside of school and engaging my host family. I hope to go back soon."
Kathryn S Trinity University
"YES YES YES a thousand times YES! I came back a more independent, confident and just more globally aware human being and without studying abroad I could never have said that. "

Jeffrey S The University of Texas at Austin
"Study abroad introduced me to a set of friends and like-minded individuals who greatly enriched my global learning and awareness. I've come back to the United States with a greater understanding of a lot of issues ranging from food politics to environmentalism to sociocultural relations. I've been able to completely change the w..."
Ronak P The University of Texas at Austin
"I 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."
Kate W DePauw University
"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."
Caroline V The University of Texas at Austin

Itzel F University of the Pacific
"my cultural awareness and confidence grew exponentially. I am more confident and excited to travel the world and learn more. I don't feel like I have to stay in my little bubble in Texas any more. I know there is so much more out there that I can explore. "
sandra p The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience abroad was absolutely incredible. I hope to be able to travel the world again in the near future! "
Alison L The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved CIEE and everything it provided me with, but I wish I had been more challenged. I could have handled more difficult courses as well as the challenge of living on my own without CIEE there to take care of everything for me. However, having a host family provided by CIEE was one of the best things that has happened to me..."
Rose S The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying 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..."

"I loved it all: the travel, the culture, the night-life, bettering my language, etc. "
Rachel G The University of Texas at Austin
"Patience. Persistence. Understanding of a different culture. Improvement in my Spanish skills. "
Brittany D Hope College
"Yes, absolutely. It made me so much more self-confident, I got first-hand exposure to the challenges of development and working in the developing world, and my internship exposed me to an issue, electronic waste, that I was not aware of but that I've now pursued back in the US and am writing my senior thesis on. Being in Ghana ..."
Graham K Clark University
"Yes it sure was worth while"
Yanely M The University of Texas at Austin
"The experience proved me with cultural awareness and I have future plans to return to the city because it was so amazing. I had a great time meeting other Americans and interacting with Spanish locals while learning more about the cultural and the language. "
Felicia P The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely. I gained skills, I made friends, I had experiences that will never be equaled by anything ever again. The educational aspect of the program was pretty sucky- I did not glean much of an education from CIEE- but the cultural aspect and everything else, the people, the place, EVERYTHING ELSE, was brilliant beyond brilli..."

"The professors and the courses offered were exactly what I was looking. I am satisfied with my academic experience as well as the cultural experience I had with my CIEE friends."
David O The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying abroad is no doubt something everyone should do. You learn so much about other cultures as well as yourself. I cannot even put into words how studying abroad has affected me. When I graduate in December, I will not take a job that does not involve international participation. "
Brittany B The University of Texas at Austin
"It was the most incredible experience. I learned so much about myself and other people, and how great a different way of life can be. I think that Spain is a relaxing and beautiful place, with such rich culture and history. The people, Sevilla, and everything about my whole experience has given me the travel bug and I can't w..."
Jenni P The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was so much more than credit fulfillment. Because of my time abroad I've become more understanding, more aware of my own abilities and more appreciative of my own culture. Also, I've recognized that I want to be more daring in my future career choices and life decisions because even though risks are always challeng..."
