Friendly and knowledgable staff
January 21, 2025by: Vanessa M.Program: CIEE January in Cape TownThe staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I like that they would give us recommendations of places to go and things to do and how to do it safely. But they also would give us our independence which was great!
Highly recommend
January 16, 2025by: Madison B.Program: CIEE January in Cape TownI would highly recommend CIEE study abroad to a friend or peer because the staff were amazing, the living accommodations were great, the co curricular and activities were so fun, engaging, and interesting and gave me a great feel of Cape Town in various ways. It allowed me to explore Cape Town entirely.
I'm so thankful and feel so blessed that l I was given this opportunity.
December 13, 2019by: Mary A.Program: CIEE January in Cape TownBecause the group excursions that are provided to you from the CIEE program allows you to experience the atmosphere of certain communities at a close hand. There is a revealing of what the local people's lives are like, and there is a cultural diffusion that takes place unlike any other you may have experienced before. I've been loving everything in this program down to the staff, my fellow study abroad peers, to the food that is provided free of no charge!
