Super accessible

CIEE makes the study abroad experience super accessible for people that may have thought they would not study abroad, and I have very much enjoyed my experience on this program! The planned trips and activities SERIOUSLY enhance the program, and I have gotten so many more opportunities through those sign ups.

Loved the faculty and staff

I would likely recommend being this program, it definitely offers a lot, like the weekly activities and pre paid for trips we are able to go on. I think the program is structured very well and I really love all my professors and the staff is extremely helpful

Well organized

I think that this program is well-organized, and more generally, I greatly enjoyed my time in Prague. I liked the ability to take classes at Charles and at CIEE and I found the staff to be supportive and quick to resolve any issues.

Lots of opportunities

I would be likely to recommend CIEE to a friend or peer because the program is very well laid out and prepared. There are a lot of opportunities to experience the culture that I otherwise would not have had, as well as traveling to some new places. One thing I would tell them, though, is about the guest lectures and how they may actually count toward attendance. I have lost a lot of allotted free time because some classes required 6 or more lectures on Wednesdays. While they are very insightful, it would be more enticing to attend them on my own time when I am able to as opposed to being required to attend them for a grade.

Learned so much

I would likely recommend the program because of the ability to learn more about the Czech Republic. In addition to this, they can travel to other countries while still exciting on their course of study.

Extremely well organized

CIEE expertly provides all the information you can need for study abroad students. They actively put on engaging trips and activities throughout the semester for students. They are always willing to help and are always kind and friendly.

Become immersed in Czech culture

CIEE provided so many opportunities for us to explore Prague and become immersed into Czech culture. Moreover, they provided us opportunities to explore neighboring cities and countries -- something I was able to take advantage of and enjoy thoroughly.

I enjoyed all of the activities

I would be very likely to recommend this program to another student because it was managed and set up very well. We were eased into Prague very easily and I enjoyed all of the activities that were planned for us.

The CIEE program has been nothing but amazing. They have made sure we felt comfortable in our new home, if we had an issue they were right there to help us solve it. The staff and housing are incredible.

Prague made me feel like home

The website was super easy to navigate through and CIEE. The classes were super personalized and my professors recommended so many things in Prague as well as took us on a variety of field trips that made Prague feel more like home.

I really enjoyed my time here

I thought the courses required the right amount of rigor for a study abroad program and they were extremely interesting in addition. I also liked the option for excursions and really enjoyed the Krakow trip. I do think the program needs to be less strict with things like missing mandatory class excursions, or at least provide more opportunities for students to make up the credit.

CIEE is very fun

I would be very likely to recommend CIEE because of all the activities provided for the students. I think they are very fun. However I have had some problems with my roommates and I do not think that was handled the way I would have wished.

Czech out Prague!

Prague is a phenomenal city - and traveling Europe is easy from the Czech Republic central location. CIEE Czech staff were awesome and Czech buddies were really helpful.

CIEE was not a very well-run program, but...

CIEE was not a very well-run program, but Prague was awesome and I had a good time. The administration was really poor and didn't really know what they were doing. They would send us in circles. If we had a problem, they would send us from one administrator to another for answers.
