A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

This program is a once-in-a-lifetime oppurnity to experience Botswana in a way that nothing else allows you to. I did not feel like I was doing a study abroad program I felt like i was with my friends in a new country learning and experiencing the culture in a way like none other.

CIEE offered tremendous amount of support

They offer a tremendous amount of support, as well as provide many different trips for us to go on. However, being in the CIEE "bubble" made it more difficult for many of us to branch out, but that is not exclusive to CIEE.
