Everything is really accommodating
July 09, 2022by: Ashley R.I would be likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend or peer because on the back end (before starting the program) everything is really accommodating, all you have to do is ask. On the front end (while in the program) the experience is amazing and even with the little hiccups everything is still worth it.
I would recommend this to everyone
July 09, 2022by: Stephanie S.I would recommend this to everyone! I would love to be able to do it again. I am so extremely grateful for all that we were able to do and experience. The field trips were so fun and educational. I loved being able to be exposed in Ghana culture. I even loved each of the staff and pals, you all were so nice and great people. I cherished every moment with CIEE so thank you so much for everything. Medaase paaaaa!!!!!
Really got to experience the host culture
January 05, 2022by: Deven D.CIEE provided a great and enlightening program that allowed students to really experience the host culture while fostering community. Since being on this program my life goals have been infused with aspects I have received from my program.
My time here has been amazing
August 20, 2019by: Jan B.My time here has been amazing and I have enjoyed all the freedom I could want in shaping this experience. Additionally, CIEE took very good care of us and offered many extra services like hosting us in the office, talks with interesting people in Ghana, Townhalls and additional classes. Moreover, the option to either live in a Homestay or ISH is a very valuable feature of CIEE I think.

CIEE made the entire study abroad experience so much richer
August 19, 2019by: Madison G.CIEE made the entire study abroad experience so much richer. Whenever I had a problem, I could come to the ladies at the office and they would be quick to help me. CIEE organized trips and activities to help enrich our experience in Ghana, and without those, my experience would not be complete.
There was a lot of support
August 18, 2019by: Gabrielle S.From the U-pals, to whatever Brown's job description is (program assistant?), to the Aunties (administrators?), to the Director, there are a lot of avenues to get information, help with problem-solving and advice. I felt very taken care of with CIEE Legon.
CIEE is a lot helpful
August 17, 2019by: Mariah D.With the scholarships that CIEE provides, CIEE makes studying abroad more accessible for low income students. CIEE also streamlines the studying abroad process by providing students with helpful step-by-step instructions of required actions and with support from responsive staff.
