Study Abroad with CIEE
"I became much more comfortable with speaking Spanish and confident in my ability to live in another country. It was an incomparable opportunity to study Latin American Studies (my major) from a Latin American academic perspective, as well as try to integrate myself into a Latin American culture and experience it firsthand. I lov..."
A student Wellesley College
"Gained better fluency and cultural understanding. Definitely worthwhile."
Zoë R Vanderbilt University
"I gained an experience in Korean society and people; and it was the most worthful gain that I earn from this program"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned that I shouldn't feel bad about not liking awful people. It was worthwhile though, I met a couple nice people and got to travel all over"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned about the different cultures/traditions that exist among the autonomous regions of Spain; the economic & political problems it was facing at the time; an understanding of what it feels to be a foreigner; and how to adapt to change."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so many things about myself, and I have a new sense of adventure! I gained confidence, Spanish skills, joy, and appreciation for the differences in not only cultures, but also individuals. It was completely worthwhile- everyone should study abroad if you have the slightest interest or opportunity."
Hannah C Hope College
"I gained a lot of confidence in my Spanish. I also learned how to navigate in a foreign country on my own. It was definitely worthwhile!"
Sarah C Clark University - Worcester
"Although I gained internship experience while on the program, the experience in itself was not what I had expected it to be. I worked for a startup whose mission was very compelling to me, but because my boss was not very receptive of what I wanted to gain out of the internship, I was left doing busy work most of the time. I fee..."

"Barcelona made me even more independent and aware of the world around me. "
A student Brandeis University
"i learnt a lot about myself and gained much international experience "
A student Brandeis University
"My experience was absolutely worthwhile. It was hard at times. I have been away from home a lot before, but none of my experiences were like this one. I was thrown completely out of my comfort zone, was miserable for bits of the time, but I wouldn't change a single day. I learned to silence my mind and just observe and learn; I ..."
Molly P Brandeis University
"People talk about how spending time abroad completely changes you and your perspective. For me, this was very untrue. Perhaps it is because I had the opportunity to live in multiple countries abroad growing up, but I am not sure. I found that being abroad gives you a better understanding of who you are by challenging and questio..."
A student Brandeis University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I had no previous experience with Arabic, and was able to learn some basics. "
A student Wellesley College
"My Spanish fluency increased tremendously, which made it worthwhile. I definitely would recommend people the year program--that way you can come out 100% fluent!"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned valuable language skills, made incredible friends, and learned a lot about another culture. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I wouldn't even know where to begin with this. One thing I will say is it has taught me more about myself in 6 months than I have learned in my 20 years. Worthwhile would be an understatement. "
Keirheim G University of Hartford
"I learned how important it is to get in touch with my family's culture and how important it is to integrate and get comfortable using a language I am not 100% comfortable with"
A student Brandeis University
"Yes"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned what it's like to be surrounded by another culture. I wasn't able to read many things (especially in the beginning) and had to navigate and figure things out with limited use of my phone. It was definitely worth while. I learned about lot about myself and how to adapt to a new culture and live on my own. "
A student Middlebury College
"Over the course of my time abroad, I learned so much that I didn't even expect to touch on. The biggest thing I gained was personal growth. I expected to only improve myself in terms of language skills and new friends, but I ended up learning so much about who I am as a person and who I want to be in the future. Being in Seoul w..."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about different cultures and perspectives through which people see the world. I learned a lot about the history and continuous struggles in South Africa."
A student Brandeis University
"You learn so much that you would'e be exposed to in your normal classroom, it teaches you how to be independent and to learn to live all on your own in another country"
A student University of Westminster
"I learned how valuable the spanish language is across the globe. It was very rewarding to be able to communicate with strangers in a very foreign place."
Marcelo F The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot from my experience abroad. I learned to challenge myself beyond my comfortable limits and learned a lot about tolerance and living on my own. It was extremely worthwhile. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself and my relationships with other people -- what I want from relationships, the way I interact. I became much more self aware. "
