All CIEE personnel I have interacted with have been incredibly helpful and kind. Everything from my application to arrival and coursework were as smooth and well-handled as I could have hoped for. I had excellent instructors and a great experience in my courses. The cultural activities were also amazing and added to my time in Jordan.

All CIEE personnel I have interacted with have been incredibly helpful and kind. Everything from my application to arrival and coursework were as smooth and well-handled as I could have hoped for. I had excellent instructors and a great experience in my courses. The cultural activities were also amazing and added to my time in Jordan.

I would recommend because I like the class options CIEE offers. Unlike other programs, CIEE allows students to get real-world experience at an internship. I would be unlikely to recommend CIEE to a friend if they intend to learn Arabic intensively. CIEE loses some of its Arabic intensity by offering other activities. If someone wants to learn Arabic fluently, they should be in the CIEE AAL Program and not MES.
