Study Abroad with CIEE
"I learned a lot about myself and what it means to be a black person in western spaces. It was also so great to be in a place where the curriculum is afro centered and the faculty black. It was worth it."
A student Wellesley College
"More global perspective on things. Experience how others live and compare/contrast to life at home and in other places. Learn new political systems and ideas and practice a language. "
A student Wellesley College
"I feel really glad that I chose to study somewhere that was not in Western Europe. It gave me so much perspective on the legacy of the Soviet Union and the political environment in Central and Eastern Europe. It was absolutely the best city ever, and every time I traveled elsewhere I felt lucky to return to Prague after because ..."

"How to interact with people without verbal communication, solving new problems. Yes it was worthwhile"
A student Brandeis University
"I think I grew a lot because studying abroad comes with challenges (especially if you are traveling alone or with friends). I have never lived in a big city, much less with so much independence."
wellesleystudent2020 Wellesley College
"I learned what it meant to be an adult. To be independent. To love your craft and to grow freely. "
Jade Baker University of Hartford
"My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile. I feel a greater appreciation for the little things that make me feel comfortable at my home university. There are so many things that I take for granted on a regular basis and living and studying in a new environment made me realize this. I also met so many amazing that gave me ne..."
A student Brandeis University
"Best/most important experience I've had so far."
Francina Martinez Brandeis University
"How to be more understanding of different cultures"
A student University of the Pacific
"I learned so much about Europe and other cultures, which I find very valuable. I also learned how to cook for myself and really live on my own. It was definitely worthwhile."
Alex Cook Middlebury College
"International experience in internship as well as more of an understanding of the history of Catalunya and an appreciation for history"
A student Brandeis University
"Independence, Mindfulness, and Self-Compassion"
A student Middlebury College
"I just learned not to place all my learning and growth within the rigid lines of academia. There's so much to learn from conversations with people on the street. Wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from living and seeing and breathing and struggling and fighting, all of which anyone can have. So take advantage of t..."
A student Berea College
"I learned a lot about myself, what career trajectory I want to go down, and intercultural skills. It was definitely worthwhile. "
Dustin Lee Brandeis University
"Definitely worthwhile! Gained greater confidence and independence while immersing myself in a different culture which taught me a lot about my own. "
Danielle Laverdiere Middlebury College
"I learned how to be adaptive and culturally aware. Furthermore, I learned patience. It was some of the best lessons of my life. "
Rachel Dovek Brandeis University
"I gained a new self of my self. A sense of independence. It was the greatest adventure of my life so far and I feel like I really found who I was. "
Lex Scott Middlebury College
"It was so worthwhile. I got a very different perspective, not just on America, and living abroad, and the work culture at my home school, but also on myself and what is important to me. As much as Japanese culture excepts conformity, Tokyo as a city somehow forces you to be yourself by finding the pieces of it that make you ha..."
A Wellesley College
"I learned my independence and gained memories that will change my life forever. I've made great friends and even great networking connections. I'd do it all over again if I could."
Shanique Reid University of Hartford
"I made lasting friendships, learned a lot from local students. It was absolutely worthwhile because South Africa is an amazing country. "
Natalia Marques Wellesley College
"travel as much as possible"
A student Brandeis University
"In my program, I was surrounded by American students from all around the states. This reminded me that there are people who have drastically different ways of life than me--people who don't necessarily value the same things that I and my peers at Brandeis do. It was disappointing, and eye opening, to hear the harmful things comi..."
A student Brandeis University
"A more international perspective and cultural versatility"
Elijah Farrales Truman State University
"I learned more from my experiences traveling and visiting clinics and hospitals than I did in any of my classes. I had to function independently and cook my own meals and learn how to use public transportation. I think it would've been a lot easier with more help and preparation from the program staff, but I definitely grew a lo..."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about the experiences of other students around the world and of life in Spain. Definitely worthwhile."
