CIEE Social Science + Humanities in Amsterdam, Netherlands

I would recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend or peer because the entire staff was extremely helpful and accommodating to any issues or concerns I had. Also, since classes from UvA and their different structures were hard for me to adjust to, CIEE offered amazing classes with a structure I'm more familiar with and one that was more effective for my learning style. CIEE was also a very helpful resource when I was struggling with test taking at UvA and the lack of academic accommodations they were able to offer, as they differed a lot from what I am used to at my home university.

I loved how the program minimized our logistical problems and provided many opportunities. The orientation made it easy to make friends and find community. The ALAs and weekend trips allowed all of us to have the chance to see sights and travel in ways we wouldn't have done on our own. I never felt alone or stressed in finding help or making decisions, whether it be about finding a bike or making a doctor's appointment.

It is a good program with lots of building activities to learn the culture and get accustomed to the academics. The staff is helpful in this process. There is a little bit for everyone and CIEE is organized with that. I did enjoy the activities I attended but still found it difficult to stay connected with various people in the program whether it be students or some faculty.

It was a fairly easy and straight-forward application process. I would especially recommend the CIEE program in Amsterdam because Ruth, Judith, Cato, Renee, and Jonathan are all AMAZING! They are so helpful and friendly; they made my trip better than I could have imagined. I will never forget their kindness.

They have an excellent assortment of planned activities. Their partnership with ISN and offer of a discounted Museumkaart also helped me make the most of my time here. The staff were all engaged and willing to answer my questions.

It's been an amazing experience, the Amsterdam staff have been incredible and supportive, I feel like I had the best experience of all my friends who studied abroad. I have already recommended the program highly to several people

I really liked CIEE a lot however I wish they took us into other countries for our excursions, not necessarily just within the Netherlands. Also I am paying full tuition I feel like I should have been given some food spend.

I would recommend CIEE because the program helps students with their transition from their home country to the life abroad. The staff put together amazing trips and programs and someone was always willing to help.

Signing up for classes was a little difficult with figuring out which credits would transfer with my home university and UvA because we didn't know our class schedule until we actually got to Amsterdam

I have had a phenomenal time. After talking to my friends who are not on the program in Amsterdam, and others who are in different cities, I've realized how incredible the services and activities CIEE provides truly is, and it's really made my experience just amazing.

I had a really good experience and CIEE made it easy to go abroad. I thought the checklist was extremely smart. I also loved all the people who work at CIEE and all the day trips/lunches that were provided.
