I would be likely to recommend CIEE study abroad to a friend or peer because of the life-changing experiences and growth I have had while in the program, and the fact that I think it is possible for all students to experience this while participating in the program.

The 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!
