"I learned about a new region of Europe (for me), met great other American students, many of whom I'm close with and see regularly, and got to know a beautiful, exciting, enchanting city intimately for a semester."

Wellesley College
Past Review Would Not Recommend CET Florence

"I learned how to take care of myself in the hardest of times, especially with no help from the program. I became much more self-sufficient. I learned a lot about the Italian culture - far more than I expected to. It was worthwhile for the friendships I made and the things I learned, but I would never pick the same program again...."

Past Review 美好的回憶 CET Beijing

"I learned that if you want to get better at a foreign language, you really have to go all out for it. It can get really rough at times, what with massive pollution, large crowds, and a million hours of homework, but it really is one of the best things you can spend some of your college life doing. You make great friends and unfo..."

Past Review After Becoming Fluent, I Just Wanted To Come Home! CET Beijing

"I gained the ability to speak Chinese freely and listen fluently. The experience was definitely worthwhile, but I only said I wouldn't do it again because of how difficult it was. Not saying I don't like a challenge, but living in China is not something I'd want to do again right now."

Past Review The Hardest And Best Experience Of My Life CET Jordan

"I learned a crap ton of Arabic, but more importantly I learned how to be comfortable with my self and my constantly changing, tumultuous surroundings.
