Life changing experience

September 30, 2024by: Ellie O'F.Program: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: French Language in Toulouse

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.

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.
