It is an amazing program

It is an amazing program where they strive to help you learn how to integrate into a new culture but push you to do that hard work yourself as well. It is a challenging program with so many benefits (and you’ll make great friends)

I would recommend CIEE

I would recommend CIEE to a friend who wanted to study abroad in Cape Town. CIEE provides three housing options that tailor to different goals and personality types. CIEE also provides volunteer opportunities and a few field trips throughout the semester. Additionally, the HQ is centrally located in Ron Court and is a good home base for students in all three residence options, and there is always someone on staff available to talk to if there is a problem (students never feel totally on their own but rather always supported by the staff and the program).

Experience another culture

It is an enriching experience that you cannot typically get inside a classroom setting. Traveling abroad opens up individuals to new cultures and new experience not found anywhere else. Every student should participate in a study abroad program and CIEE does this very well.
