High School Study Abroad in Toulouse, France

I would be very likely to recommend it because I enjoyed my experience so much. I learned a lot of French, traveled to new places, tried different foods, and made friends from many places. Meeting new people and traveling were some of the best parts.

My daughter stayed with a host family outside of Barcelona. With the help of Oui-Connect, the experience was easy to arrange and we felt comfortable with the host family and with the program. She had so much fun. The family had two girls her age who shared similar interests as my daughter. They explored many places including the southern mountain town of Estavar in France, the Spanish beach town of Pineda de Mar, Montblanc and, of course, spent a lot of time exploring Barcelona. They took her to Tibidabo amusement park and to see a divised opera at a university in Barcelona. She had so much fun spending time with the family and learning about their culture. Her spanish improved greatly and, I'm sure she will visit the family again. We had ZERO issues and would absolutely recommend Oui-Connect.

Our daughter, Sammy, spent 3 weeks in Spain with an incredible host family who took her in as one of their own. She had a marvelous time delving into Catalan culture and the Spanish language, enjoying weekend excursions, extended family gatherings, as well as ordinary daily activities such as shopping and cooking. This was Sammy’s first trip anywhere by herself; she came home so much more confident, open and really appreciative of this opportunity and new friendships. Muchas gracias to the team at Oui-Connect for working with us to provide the best experience for Sammy!

I had a great time here. Not only was it an amazing cultural experience but a life changing personal one as well. There was an infinite number of new things here for me. Things I did, felt, thought, experienced and I think I learned so much about myself from that and grew a lot too. With the independence came maturity. With the homesickness came appreciation. With the free time came time management. With the fear came courage. With the fun came great memories. There were a few things I didn’t love. For me, the class in the morning was the worst part of my day. There wasn’t enough energy from my teacher for the content to be interesting. It was also too easy but I was already in the highest level. The program is expensive so I would recommend applying for scholarships. Overall though, I would recommend CIEE Global Navigator High School Summer Abroad.

It's an amazing experience, and also fun. It lets you interact with the culture of other countries and also meet new people who are very nice and welcoming. I loved building a rocket with my friends that went at least 500 meters and deploying a pretty good parachute.

I really really enjoyed my time abroad!! I feel like I grew a lot as a person and made a lot of new friends. Most of the activities were fun and well organized, and I really liked my host family. I also feel like I learned a lot about the language in classes and on the street.
