Saoirse K.January 2025

A human experience

I would be very likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad to anybody due to how much it added to my school and human experience and how exciting it was! I think I was able to build and expand a lot of life and adult skills with the independent nature of the trip as well as the support given to me by the staff and students of the program. I would recommend this to anyone as long as they could afford it, since the high expense of the program and flights is not always fully or even partially covered by school, and it would be very expensive and often not possible for the majority of the people I know.
