An amazing way to spend my summer

This program was definitely one of the best summer activities I’ve ever done in my life. It’s fun yet intellectually challenging and allows students to comfortably explore new cultures in a safe environment. Overall this was an amazing way to spend my summer and I will be letting all my friends and language teachers know about it.

I could not be more grateful.

CIEE changed the way I think and feel about the world, and for that I could not be more grateful. I think about current events, the environment, wellness, and education from a different perspective now. My development over the past month has made me wonder how different I would be if I had stayed in the same town for my summer. If someone is looking to expand their perspective of the world, have fun, and improve their language skills, I could not recommend CIEE more!

I gained language skills and confidence I didn’t know I had before.

It had always been a dream of mine to come to Paris, and being able to both visit this city and learn French was an amazing opportunity for me. I have gained language skills and confidence I didn’t know I had before. I also think this opened a lot of doors for me and gave me a lot of valuable experiences regarding independence, interpersonal relationships, awareness, and helped me learn about my self as a whole. I think that any person would have a wonderful experience abroad and also learn so much more than just content from the experience.
