CIEE Study Abroad did a great job

CIEE Study Abroad did a great job making a home away from home. The love, kindness, and continuous support allowed me to become vulnerable and open myself to find new waves and personalities of myself that I never thought I could become.

Made me feel at home

I loved this program. It gave a great mix of opportunities where you will not only be learning in the classroom, but also within the community. I appreciated that I had the opportunity to talk with community members and give back whenever possible. Additionally, the staff and excursions really made me feel at home in Gabs.

Goes Above and Beyond

CIEE makes sure to not only give students an immersive study abroad experience through their program and activities but also go above and beyond to connect and support their students! I feel that the directors of my CIEE program are not just faculty, they are family.
