Enriching experiences

I enjoyed the extra excursions that were organized through CIEE, like zip lining and visiting El Escorial. These are trips that I might not have taken/organized for myself, but they were very enriching experiences.

The classes were pertinent to my studies and the staff were flexible and kind. Also, I really loved the trips that we have been taken on- it's nice to have people around to help make sure you don't miss out on the really cool places/attractions. Great program!

CIEE took very good care of us and was wonderfully helpful when we needed something. They made sure to update us on things that would help us and even provided great tips for travelling to cities throughout Spain.
