Study Abroad with CIEE
"I gained independence and confidence in my abilities. The first couple of days in Spain were a big adjustment for me due to the changes in lifestyle and cultural differences. In addition, I had a hard time adjusting to the transportation methods, rather than driving myself everywhere. After learning how to use the transportation..."
Anna C Wofford College
"In addition to improving my Spanish learning more about Spanish culture, I learned a lot about myself during my time abroad. I became more self-aware, confident, and independent. It was the most worthwhile experience of my life, without a doubt."
Cole M George Washington University
"I learned how to put myself in uncomfortable situations to help grow my confidence and independence. "
A student Vanderbilt University
"Got to experience part of the world I had never seen before"
Luke H Middlebury College
"I got to see a perspective on topics like sustainability through the lenses of Germany. They approach sustainable development, eco-friendly lifestyles, and transportation so differently than I was used to. I got to see these things firsthand, which was awesome. Although I didn't use German a lot, I definitely improved my profici..."
Chloe B Indiana University - Bloomington
"I learned a lot about myself, and the surrounding communities. I enjoyed the wildlife every step of the way."
A student Brandeis University
"While I was abroad I gained confidence in my Spanish speaking abilities, and learned about a different mindset about life. One thing many of us noticed very quickly is that while Americans live to work, Spaniards work to live, and having a chance to experience that gave me perspective on what life can look like back home and hel..."
A student Brandeis University
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. Costa Rica definitely lives up to its catch phrase "pura vida" or pure life. There is so much wildlife and nature around you, and learning the ecological and biological details makes it so much more intersting."
A student Brandeis University
"I had such a blast getting to practice my Spanish, live on my own in another country for a few months, learn from my professors and the locals, meet so many people, and get to experience so many incredible places."
A student Vanderbilt University
"I gained an understanding of Spanish culture and became independent through organizing my own trips and navigating public transportation. I improved my Spanish speaking and writing abilities, and gained so much confidence through interacting with CIEE staff and locals in the language. I now feel comfortable using Spanish with an..."

A student Brandeis University
"Learning new perspectives and better understanding of South Korean history/culture"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so much about Korean culture and also about myself. I'm a queer, non-binary person, so I was incredibly worried about my identity making my experience more difficult, so I sought out queer spaces. While many of them were fairly segregated (queer spaces for men and for women are often separate, and often discriminate ag..."
Devon H Middlebury College
"Learning about new cultures and creating lasting friendships"

"Making new connections"
A student Middlebury College
"Abroad was a great experience that I sculpted on my own terms with travelling, exploring the city, and making new friends. "
Emily B Brandeis University
"I didn't know anyone prior to going so it made me become even more independent and more aware of what the world was like outside of the US. I learned about different political views and people's opinions about the rest of the world and learned more about myself and my interests. It was definitely worthwhile"
Kayla O University of Hartford
"Study abroad opened my eyes to other cultures and the uniqueness of each country visited. It is the perfect opportunity when you are a college student as you have more free time now than after you graduate."
Yuriy M University of Hartford
"Aside from the terrible program experience, I had a blast traveling around Europe during my stay here in Amsterdam so it was definitely worthwhile!! I became 1000x more culturally aware and culturally diverse now that I have been to 12 countries. A terrific experience to gain independence. "
Danni K University of Hartford
"I learned a lot about race and poverty but more than anything I learned a lot about the US which was surprising. I will have to do a lot of self-reflection when I return but I definitely am a changed person and I enjoy where I am with myself in life right now. This is your sign to get away and do something hard and scary: it is ..."
jessica h University of Hartford
"This semester abroad was incredibly valuable to the development of my independence, to find out more about where I belong in the world and what I want to do with my career, to broaden my horizons and perspectives about life and culture, and to experimentally learn about topics I am so interested in. Every student should have the..."
Valentina D Wellesley College
"I gained a lot of exposure to a new culture. It was easy to just get up and explore, especially because public transportation in Seoul is amazing! In addition to this, I was able to learn a lot of Korean by just interacting with the locals or making friends at social locations. I think it was definitely worthwhile!"
A student Brandeis University
"My time abroad taught me much about myself such as who I was without my academics. It taught me about the cultural experiences and differences I did not know were present and allowed me to expand my friends and close circle to include those in other countries I have never learned about. It is nice meeting and getting to know so ..."
