Incredible opportunities
March 28, 2025by: Fatima G.Program: CIEE Open Campus Block in Yucatan, MexicoI would highly recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend or peer because of the incredible opportunities it provides for cultural immersion, personal growth, and academic enrichment. My experience with CIEE allowed me to develop global competence by stepping outside my comfort zone and fully integrating into a new culture. The program offers strong academic support, exciting excursions, and scholarship opportunities that make studying abroad more accessible. It's an unforgettable experience that broadens perspectives, builds independence, and opens doors to international opportunities.

August 14, 2019by: Bjorn K.Program: CIEE Open Campus Block in Yucatan, MexicoI would be likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad to any student who does not have much abroad experience and or an beginner/low intermediate knowledge of the country's language. I feel the staff do an exceptional job with supporting students and helping with many of the logistical aspects of study abroad. However, I do feel that by taking the initiative to figure out and complete logistical tasks while abroad is an amazing learning opportunity for any student who has a strong command for the language and in this case I would recommend directly enrolling in a university instead of going through a study abroad non/for profit.
