CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Language & Culture in Milan

My time during study abroad with CIEE was something I’ll never forget. It’s normal to be scared to fly on your own, but CIEE made it so much more acceptable and comfortable for me as we tracked with everyone else on a chaperoned flight. On your study abroad experience you are bound to make multiple friendships along the way which will make your journey so much more fun! I got to see plenty of Italian monuments and places like Venice, and the Duomo in Milan. Additionally, the experience with the host family completes it, families can be so inviting and supportive during your time abroad, I got to experience multiple memorable moments with them. Finally, if you go for language and culture you’ll be sure to learn so much as I did with Italian culture and the language, I was already speaking in three weeks because of CIEEs amazing teachers and engaging classes.

I loved my experience, I feel like it was something so unique and although there were some complications I still believe that my experience was amazing and I hope everyone has a chance to do something like this at least once in their life. I loved Spending time with my host family especially on the weekends

I would recommend CIEE to my peers and friends because of the amazing friendships life skills and moments I created throughout the trip not only have I grown intellectually but also personally as now I look at things through a wide lens. My most memorable experience was the water park the whole group went to because it was such a bonding moment and it was just nice to be able to talk to everyone and just relax and the rides were amazing
