CIEE made the semester a lot less stressful
December 07, 2019by: Mary S.I would be likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend or peer because of the support system that they establish with their students. The advisers are always available for the students and their questions and for that I am grateful.
CIEE is very organized
December 06, 2019by: Alana S.CIEE is a very organized and reliable program that really wants their students' to enjoy their time abroad. I would highly recommend studying abroad with CIEE (and in the Advanced Liberal Arts program).
CIEE ALA is a perfect opportunity to experience authentic Spanish university life
August 10, 2019by: Jordan D.Living with 2 other Americans and a Spanish student in a shared apartment gave me a taste of everyday life here, while taking classes at UB in Spanish showed me what it's like to study as a student in Barcelona. Alberto and Andres were there for me throughout the entire process and helped to make each step easy to transition into.
CIEE is such a great experience
August 09, 2019by: Lauren W.I would strongly recommend studying with CIEE because it was such a great experience! It is always nerve-wracking going to a new place, but CIEE offers such quality programming, guidance, and opportunities to integrate into the city that all the anxiety falls away and transforms into a new passion to go out and explore the world!
CIEE did an awesome program
August 08, 2019by: Timothy J.I would recommend CIEE to a friend because the Barcelona program was everything I could have dreamed of! The excursions, the study center, the professors, the classes...it all was awesome!!! The only downside is the price...but, with all that is included, I can understand to an extent.
