Sustainable Development Study Abroad Programs in Japan

This program was spectacular; every aspect was flawless and unforgettable. The program itself was life changing. The opportunities to explore the country through weekends and field trips were splendid and the classes were interesting and fun.

Tremendous staff. Environment is like none other and they accommodate well. For Seville, the city has been tremendous and CIEE gives you a proper introduction to this magnificent city. Whether an intern or a student during one of the sessions, you can get along with everyone and overcome the anxieties of a new city

I would be very likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend because this program gives you many opportunities to explore the city you are in as well as the surrounding areas. All of the employees are very kind people who will be their to uplift and support the students who are abroad.

I have had a great experience, it is organized and comes at a good cost. The staff on-site is very supportive and helpful (as well as Brooke in Portland), but we had an emergency situation and the Portland higher-ups didn't handle it well, nor did anyone answer the emergency number provided to us.

The initial application and follow-up information were very straight-forward I felt well-prepared before coming to Japan. Laura Garlo was extremely nice and helpful throughout the application process and everyone I know in the program only had nice things to say about her. My experience here in Japan has been great too. All of the CIEE staff are kind and helpful. Lastly, I've been able to grow close to my friends from CIEE through its events and it has begun to feel like family! It's hard to be so far away from family but having a support system like CIEE makes it much easier.

It's an outside experience that I feel everyone should go through simply to expand themselves and their knowledge of the world. Many people stay in their own mind and going abroad I feel makes people think and become more tolerant of other people and cultures around then.

The program was able to set up a lot of interesting and fun event that I may not have participated in without the program. They were also able to provide support on a number of issues that may have been more difficult without the help of the program.

I feel that CIEE tries to have activities for us and I really do feel that I am learning a lot here. Also everyone here seems really nice and I feel that though we are different a lot of the students seem to have the same mindset and its a good chance to network.

There's a lot of assistance for exchange students and good cultural events to expand your knowledge of the country. It's also a good support system to be around other CIEE participants who you could become close friends with.

There are lots of perks to CIEE such as the Hiroshima excursion and other aspects such as the Independent Study Tour and cultural reimbursement that encourage further and deeper interaction with Japan.

I found the set up events by CIEE to be quite enjoyable. The people working at CIEE are all also extremely helpful and nice. Overall the program was a great and enjoyable one for my first time abroad.

CIEE is very well-staffed and they do everything they can to make sure you have the best experience possible. Everyone is friendly, the rules and guidelines are laid out for you, and the excursions CIEE plans are a blast!!

This has been the best summer of my life. Everything about CIEE has blown me away. Virginia Niera has been an extremely attentive and helpful program director. She and Antonio Romero were both quick to offer help with any issues I might have. The professors, Amador Fernandez and Antonio Rodriguez, taught with enthusiasm and care. Each class genuinely excited and intrigued me. They graded fairly and truly cared about students understanding and learning. We took informative, fun, and interesting trips. They were all well-planned and extremely enjoyable. The tour guides we had, Adrian and Alicia, were knowledgable and made the tours very meaningful. The trip to Morocco really opened my eyes to other cultures and ways of life. Finally, my homestay could not have been better. I really got close to my host family, and I felt like I had a place in Seville where I could be totally comfortable. I have already recommended this program to two of my friends, and I plan to encourage more to do it if they w

My first experience abroad and I love it here. I feel that CIEE tries to have activities for us and I really do feel that I am learning a lot here.

Study abroad is something that everyone needs to be apart o at least once in their lifetime, and CIEE was a great way to do it. I think I would recommend this because we’re given a place to reside in a foreign country with people who have no problem helping you at the drop of a pen. The CIEE community becomes your family and makes you feel like you’re at home and always offer things to do for free or at least help to make your study abroad experience as great as it can. It’s also nice that you can choose from different programs and either be a student for half and an intern for the other half, be an open campus student and stay for an entire semester, or every 6 weeks choose a new home. It’s an amazing experience for a reasonable price but an opportunity and of a lifetime.

The program was very helpful with answering any questions I had. Not many programs that my college offered went to Japan. The over all application process was also very smooth. The program events were very fun, and the people I got to meet were amazing!
