Study Abroad with CIEE
"I learned how to work with people from all around the world and I made friends with people from all around the world."
Lucas D Bentley University
"I can't really put into words everything I learned abroad. It was an amazing opportunity to live in a part of the world that most people never get to see. It was really a perspective changing 5 months that was completely worthwhile and I would do it again in a heartbeat."
A student Middlebury College
"It made me feel extremely fortunate to have this wonderful opportunity to live in a foreign country with a Spanish family who was very kind and helpful to me. I felt so lucky to be able to immerse myself in a different culture and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. "
A student Providence College
"I learned so much about South African history and society and it helped me reflect on my life as an African American living in the USA. It was worthwhile. "

"I learned how to deal with real independence and how to immerse myself completely into a new culture."
A student Providence College
"I gained an appreciation for other cultures and types of people. I learned to be a lot more independent. I feel like a more complete person having been abroad."
A student Providence College
"This was one of the best experiences in my life, if not the best one. I would highly recommend it to anyone and I seriously think everyone should study abroad at least once while in college. I have new lifelong friends, am almost fluent in a second language, and have absolutely no fear or hesitance to go anywhere else in the wor..."
Mary O Wartburg College
"Learned a lot in the classroom, definitely a lot of work, but lived very independently. "
A student Brandeis University
"The pure exposure to different European cultures was incredible. Prague's central location made it very easy to travel everywhere."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained an innumerable amount of knowledge from my host family, school and new friends. I learned about a whole new culture and became almost fluent in a new language. Each day I was constantly learning in order to communicate with everyone else. "
A student Villanova University
"My experience abroad was the most worthwhile experience of my life to date. Among countless other things, I gained an understanding of how to push the limits of my comfort zone and learned that I truly can do anything I put my mind to."
A student Providence College
"Too much to say in words. I think everyone should take advantage of any opportunity they might have to go abroad. Interacting with so many different people from a variety of different backgrounds....jumping from city to city every other weekend...study Czech as a brand new language...meeting lifetime friends from all over the ..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned that homesickness is not always gazing at the moon wishing you were seeing it from a different shore. For me it manifested as a culture shock with a culture I thought I knew already. I didn't at first. I grew into it and loved it, but when I first got there I was surprised that I didn't immediately feel like 'i got thi..."
A student Providence College
"I learned a lot about myself, my culture as well as other cultures. I became more independent and made incredible friendships. I learned so much both in and out of the classroom. Yes, it was worthwhile."

A student Providence College
"what it's like to be a foreigner and to be curious"
A student Providence College
"I learned a lot about myself as a person. I learned what I like to do and what types of people I want around me. Most of all, I learned how to enjoy life. I always stressed out too much over school before. I learned that isn't the only thing that matters in life. You need balance. However, I learned this after staying for anothe..."
A student University of the Pacific
"Not only did I further my knowledge of the Spanish language, I completely stepped out of my comfort zone and got the chance to interact with the most amazing, interesting people I've ever met. I truly had the chance to be a part of the Spanish culture and that's not something everyone can say. I got to see some of the most incre..."
Nicole M Providence College
"I gained a better understanding of the culture, the traditions, the people, the language...I traveled and met new people, but most importantly, I made true friends."
Anthony L Brandeis University
"Absolutely. Learned to not worry about little things, care less about what people think about me. I learned that even in an extremely unsafe place, people are still good and I felt safe at the same time. I learned to be friends with anyone, and not take things personally. I learned to break away from groups and trust myself. It ..."
Chris S Trinity University
"Amazing Spanish skills, huge personal change (improvement I hope), a chance to travel the world, an appreciation of little things in life. So worthwhile. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so much more than I ever thought that I would. I came to learn Spanish and I learned that and more. I really learned about myself and others and would never trade the experience for anything."
Elizabeth_5279 Providence College
"I learned a ton about South Africa/ Southern Africa while able to have oodles of fun. "
A student Wellesley College
"Worthwhile is an underestimation of how awesome studying abroad was. I made new friends, learned a lot about other cultures, now have a second family, became better at a second language, met more people in a week than I did in a year, traveled to numerous countries, and realized what is important, personally, to me. "
Julia M Fordham University
"I learned how to travel, and live on my own. I became a lot more independent in my time abroad"
