I have had such a great experience during my month abroad
July 02, 2025by: Reza NagreeProgram: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Japanese Language & Culture in Tokyo
I have had such a great experience during my month abroad. I have learned so much more in this short amount of time that I could have even imagined, and yet I still had so much fun on the trip as well. All the activities were so well organized and unique and really fun. Finally, all of the staff that I have interacted with on the program have been so approachable, friendly, knowledgeable, and seem like they genuinely care about the program and the kids on the program.
