Study Abroad with CIEE
"I learned things about myself that would not have been possible without this program, and I gained the best friends anyone could ask for. It was worthwhile times 10. Sublime is the only word suitable to describe my experience. "

"Language and Culture. You cant get that anywhere else"
A student Villanova University
"Proficiency in Arabic, new friends, knowledge of the religion of Islam"

"It was amazing. I grew up so much, as you are required to do going to a different place with a different culture. Cape Town is amazing and so beautiful. I made amazing friends and had the best time."
A student Middlebury College
"A different cultural perspective, that is exactly what I asked for and what I got. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about living independently and living every day fully in order to take advantage of such an amazing city!! From my classes I learned so much about Dutch culture and their interesting policies- it really helped me think critically about American policies and culture. I also loved taking a new language while I was ..."
A student Middlebury College
"Personal growth, friendships from around the world, cultural experience, everything. You can't put enough words to describe this experience. It was definitely worthwhile. I wish Bentley made an effort to promote these non-traditional programs to the student body because it really is more rewarding than I ever thought it would be..."
A student Bentley University
"I learned about my living habits and what I want to do in life."

Rachel G Brandeis University
"Gained language skills-it was worthwhile. "

Deborah M Trinity University
"I got to see and experience the world. Something i will cherish forever!"
A student Providence College
"Incredibly worthwhile!!! I became so much more independent after studying abroad, and met so many interesting people. At first I was quite shy, but it got better after meeting some people! The classes were the least part of my experience, peehaps unsurprisingly."
Rosanne Brandeis University
"I became a lot more confident with my Chinese, that alone made my experience worthwhile. I made great friends who I want to keep in touch with. "

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned more of the language and a lot about myself as a person. I would do it over in a heartbeat. "
A student Bentley University
"I gained a new language (still not fluent, but it has improved significantly) as well as an open mind to a new culture. In addition, I met very close friends from across the United States and I still stay in touch with Spaniards that I met in Spain. It was worth the experience and I recommend to anyone!"
Isaac P Bentley University
"I gained a new outlook on my own culture while at the same time adopting some thing from a new one. I have learned to appreciate certain things and miss others that I have just discovered. If I could go back right now, I would. "
Alycia W Berea College
"It sounds really cheesy and cliche, but I really feel that I found myself while abroad. I remember hearing and reading this phrase a lot before I left, and thinking that it was just another one of those things that everyone said because it sounded good. However, I know what they mean now. There is no real concrete way of explain..."
A student Barnard College
"I learned different perspectives and values by living with a Spanish family"
A student Bentley University
"French language skills"
Katherine M University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"Absolutely worthwhile; I felt like I learned more than I have ever learned in my life each day, from strangers, family, American friends, and teachers. I learned to accept what I can't change, and to work with what I can. Open minds are key and judgement is not worth it."
Catey B Tufts University
