Study Abroad with CIEE
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile and beyond. I not only learned so much about the Czech Republic in my classes, but I really did feel as though experiencing every day life in Prague was a class in itself. I am so much more independent, have a new interest in EU politics and Central European history, and really feel as t..."
Sara G University of Rochester
"Absolutely. The academics weren't the most demanding but I wasn't there for the academics. I tell everyone that I was there because I wanted to experience the culture and I was taking classes becuase I wanted to graduate on time. Culturally, I couldn't have experienced anything better. I wanted to be in an African country that w..."
Jennifer S University of Rochester
"It was absolutely worth it! Since 2003 I have worked for a non-profit cultural exchange organization located in New York City. I sponsor J-1 visas to international students looking to come and work in the US during their summer vacations. I've had the opportunity to travel around the world to meet with university students and US..."

"Yes my study abroad experience was so worthwhile! I learned so much about the Argentine culture and I also learned so much about myself and really changed and grew as a person.I would say I try to have a much more balanced life now, and really make an effort to do that. I established some great relationships that I still maintai..."
Nicole H Wellesley College
"My worldview has been changed permanently. I no longer look at film, people and the world from a strictly American perspective. I've learned that one can adapt to (and adopt!) another culture without feeling like they've lost something of their native culture. Just the opposite! I feel like I could never have shaped this new per..."
Kelli S University of Colorado - Boulder
"I feel that Cape Town was the perfect place for me to be at this point in my life. I was in many ways incredibly independent there, more-so even than at Tulane, and I feel that I learned to rely on myself a lot more. I also greatly enjoyed seeing such a vibrant city, where cultures from such diverse areas of the world have meshe..."

"Studying in Spain has honestly changed my life. I learned more about myself in those five months than I had in the previous 21 years of my life. I am now more outgoing, confident, and open minded. I can see the world through the eyes of others, and not only though the eyes of a middle class American. After studying in Sevill..."
Alison G Providence College
"My experience was absolutely amazing. I learned to fully put myself into a culture and that to be okay with feeling uncomfortable. I learned to live life slowly with no fear of the future. You will learn to love those around you, truly live in the moment and appreciate the beauty of life. "
Elaine H The University of Texas at Austin
"I chose this one because of the homestay option. I don't like to go partying and this way I would be able to use the language and hear it all the time without placing myself in an uncomfortable location. "
A student Hamline University
"I learned to adapt to my environment and not seem an ignorant American."
Sally S Wellesley College
"Yes, it was worthwhile and I am so glad I had the opportunity to do it. I learned about all kinds of different cultures and people. I learned a lot about myself and going there made me want to learn more about the world and travel more."
Michael M Providence College
"The experience was amazing. I met some incredibly interesting people that I hope to keep in touch with in the future. I not only learned a lot about film but also about myself. I think I changed as a person for the better."
Langston A Tulane University
"WORTHWILE! GO ABROAD!"
Kelly J Tulane University
"Studying abroad was worthwhile. I gained an understanding of global issues that I had never experienced before. I improved my Spanish, and I got to experience a whole culture that was very foreign to me. I could retreat into my enclave of American friends and establishments, but there were opportunities to venture beyond that. S..."
Jonathan E Tufts University
"Yes it was worthwhile. I had fun and learned to deal with difficult situations. "
Susan G Tufts University
"My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. I learned so much about myself, my country, and the world. I highly recommend to anyone to study abroad because it forces you to change your perspective and become more open-minded."
Pamela D Providence College
"Yes, definitely. There are just aspects I would have changed, particularly after hearing about other students' experiences."
Alethea D Wellesley College
"Yes"
Kia W Anonymous University
"My study abroad experience was definitely worth missing a semester at PC even though I love my college. I gained a better understanding of myself & pushed myself to great limits I never thought I would be able to achieve. Sevilla is an amazing city and I would strongly suggest that one study abroad there if given the opportunity..."
Christina C Providence College
"Without question my experience abroad was an exceptional experience. Words don't really do it justice. I learned a ton in my classes, and I traveled to 9 different countries while I lived in Spain for 5 months. I hope I get to live in Europe again soon! It was that incredibly rewarding."
Coleman Y The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, gained understanding of a different culture, and improved my Spanish speaking skills."
Kimberly B The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained more independence. I gained my parents trust in me to be more independent. I learned a lot about myself and my goals in life. I had an extremely difficult time abroad in the best possible way. I made friends that i'll never forget. I had host parents that I sometimes liked more than my own parents. I wish I could do it ..."

"I would go again."
Marc m Abroad101 University
"I am not a lot more aware of how many life changing opportunities and experiences there are in the world. You will hopefully walk away understanding there is so much more to seeing ad doing in this world and opens your eyes to a lot of things you may have ignored in the past. I now see myself going back for grad school or moving..."
