The program staff was incredibly responsive and supportive of students when any challenges arose. We had access to many resources. The level of Chinese language instruction contributed significantly to my learning. The class trips were well organized and enjoyable.

It was a wonderful experience!! And my Chinese teacher really helped me improve my Chinese. Other than academics, the program did a great job of including cultural experiences throughout the semester.

CIEE has got a reasonable price

I would recommend CIEE study abroad to a friend or peer because it gave me the opportunity to come to China for a very reasonable price. Additionally, CIEE helped me out a lot before actually coming to China, as they sent out loads of preparation emails.
