Study Abroad with CIEE
"Studying abroad helped me to become more independent and confident. It also opened me up to Africa. I knew little of South Africa before I went. But now I am in love with the country and I am much more interested in Africa. This program helped me realize just how complex South Africa is and often how misunderstood South Africa a..."

"I loved it all: the travel, the culture, the night-life, bettering my language, etc. "
Rachel G The University of Texas at Austin
"Patience. Persistence. Understanding of a different culture. Improvement in my Spanish skills. "
Brittany D Hope College
"Yes, absolutely. It made me so much more self-confident, I got first-hand exposure to the challenges of development and working in the developing world, and my internship exposed me to an issue, electronic waste, that I was not aware of but that I've now pursued back in the US and am writing my senior thesis on. Being in Ghana ..."

"Yes it sure was worth while"
Yanely M The University of Texas at Austin
"The experience proved me with cultural awareness and I have future plans to return to the city because it was so amazing. I had a great time meeting other Americans and interacting with Spanish locals while learning more about the cultural and the language. "
Felicia P The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely. I gained skills, I made friends, I had experiences that will never be equaled by anything ever again. The educational aspect of the program was pretty sucky- I did not glean much of an education from CIEE- but the cultural aspect and everything else, the people, the place, EVERYTHING ELSE, was brilliant beyond brilli..."

"The professors and the courses offered were exactly what I was looking. I am satisfied with my academic experience as well as the cultural experience I had with my CIEE friends."
David O The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying abroad is no doubt something everyone should do. You learn so much about other cultures as well as yourself. I cannot even put into words how studying abroad has affected me. When I graduate in December, I will not take a job that does not involve international participation. "
Brittany B The University of Texas at Austin
"It was the most incredible experience. I learned so much about myself and other people, and how great a different way of life can be. I think that Spain is a relaxing and beautiful place, with such rich culture and history. The people, Sevilla, and everything about my whole experience has given me the travel bug and I can't w..."
Jenni P The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was so much more than credit fulfillment. Because of my time abroad I've become more understanding, more aware of my own abilities and more appreciative of my own culture. Also, I've recognized that I want to be more daring in my future career choices and life decisions because even though risks are always challeng..."
Angela P The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes it was worthwhile. I learned a lot and have a more global perspective than I did before."
Jade R The University of Texas at Austin
"There may never be another time in your life when you are so carefree, happy, aware of one part of the world, unaware of the part, tired, confused, out of place, and excited. "
Jasmine T The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely. While i have a lot of criticisms, it was one of the most wonderful things i have ever done. What I learned, in and out of school, cannot even be summarized here. I learned so much history, culture, music, and life lessons. Meeting new people, from a different lifestyle is a gift, and an important experience. It truly..."

"Definitely! Half of what I enjoyed was all the amazing friends I made and people I met, and the other half was the city itself, just magical! Makes me want to travel, look into living abroad for an extended amount of time in the future for sure."
Ciska U The University of Texas at Austin
"Although I gained some important and applicable experience, it wasn't worth giving up the summer for."
Sarah Y The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much it is impossible to distill down into a few sentences. I deepened my understanding of not only myself, but the world around me and my place and role within that world. I gained a self assurance and confidence, a deepening knowledge of who I am, what I am capable of and what I am becoming. I learned how it is ..."
Serena E Wellesley College
"I became more confident in myself. When I got back home my friends said I didn't really change, I just became a better me."
Leah P Hope College
"YES!!! 100% "
Juliana C Barnard College
"There are many things you realize after you experience being a foreigner in a different country. Their way of everyday living and communication is vastly different from ours in America and I believe that after spending 20 years in the same country, that it was good for me to get out and see how other people live. This experien..."
Reika N Brandeis University
"See above. I loved the program. The only hard part was studying during what in the US is summer. On the bright side, the program is only two months; most universities don't begin until end of August, early September leaving almost a month and a half of summer vacation. "
Zoe S Brandeis University
"This is not my first time in China, but I had still to learn so much about this amazing country. It was definatelly worthwhile and I would do it all over again. I became even more culturally relative and ready to embrace the differences. There were tough moments now and then, but these moments are not something that I am going t..."
Ivana S Brandeis University
"Yes, it was very worthwhile! I learned about other cultures and my own and made very valuable friends. I learned how to be a respectful traveler. I also have decided I want to work in China for a couple years to get to know this new country that I really loved being in."
Alyssa S Hope College
"Yes! I loved that I was across waters and hearing a different language constantly. "
Courtney L Hope College
"Yes! I just loved how being in Europe allows you to travel anywhere you want in Europe for relatively cheap prices. I went all over and it was just amazing seeing all these places rich with culture and history. "
