Program: CIEE January in Legon, Ghana
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.
I would definitely recommend CIEE to friends and peers. The program has been a transformative experience for me. As an African, it has given me knowledge about my own continent — my people and culture — which I had never heard before or learned about. And for anyone interested in getting a global experience, CIEE is the place to look.
I think this program was set up well, I like the way the cultural activities were presented and I feel like I learned so much about Ghana. I really like that we got to visist multiple regions and didn't just stay in Accra

I would be likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend or peer because on the back end (before starting the program) everything is really accommodating, all you have to do is ask. On the front end (while in the program) the experience is amazing and even with the little hiccups everything is still worth it.

I would recommend this to everyone! I would love to be able to do it again. I am so extremely grateful for all that we were able to do and experience. The field trips were so fun and educational. I loved being able to be exposed in Ghana culture. I even loved each of the staff and pals, you all were so nice and great people. I cherished every moment with CIEE so thank you so much for everything. Medaase paaaaa!!!!!

My time here has been amazing and I have enjoyed all the freedom I could want in shaping this experience. Additionally, CIEE took very good care of us and offered many extra services like hosting us in the office, talks with interesting people in Ghana, Townhalls and additional classes. Moreover, the option to either live in a Homestay or ISH is a very valuable feature of CIEE I think.

CIEE made the entire study abroad experience so much richer. Whenever I had a problem, I could come to the ladies at the office and they would be quick to help me. CIEE organized trips and activities to help enrich our experience in Ghana, and without those, my experience would not be complete.

From the U-pals, to whatever Brown's job description is (program assistant?), to the Aunties (administrators?), to the Director, there are a lot of avenues to get information, help with problem-solving and advice. I felt very taken care of with CIEE Legon.
