History Study Abroad Programs in Lisbon, Portugal

I have already done the refer a friend program and referred my friend to study in Lisbon this summer. She was inspired by the amazing experience that I have had and I have shared with her how interactive and caring the staff is. I am so grateful for my experience and thankful for the CIEE staff making me a part of their family!

I would be likely to recommend CIEE to a peer because I think all of the program advisors were super helpful and kind. The program seemed pretty organized and I enjoyed my housing. I also like the CIEE excursions. However, I think the lack of support during the visa process pre-departure was concerning.

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 would recommend the CIEE study abroad to a friend because it’s structured to bring people together which I enjoy a lot. I wanted to study abroad to meet new people and explore the city and the activities we go on allow both of those things.

This program was the best study abroad program I could have ever asked to go on. First of all the staff in the country were absolutely amazing and I knew if I had any problems I could go to them and they would be there to support with me no judgment. This extends into the academic situation as well. The teachers were 100% there for us and wanted to do everything that they could to help us be successful students while navigating a new country. I was able to stay in a home stay and it was an amazing experience for me. My host mother was super welcoming and kind and she taught me so much about Lisbon that I would have never learned had I not been placed with her. I had an amazing semester full of growth and so much fun and it is all because the CIEE staff made it possible. I couldn't have asked for a better program.

I would definitely recommend CIEE study abroad in Lisbon, Portugal to a friend if they are looking for a life-changing experience that evolves their way of looking at things beyond their own environment

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.

I believe this experience has supplied me with something that cannot be experienced studying back in our home culture. Being outside of your comfort zone and learning something new by experience has been invaluable. I think all students should be encouraged to do this. I also feel CIEE Lisbon has done a fantastic job!

I would be very likely to recommend this program to a friend. The program directors are super helpful from before we get to Lisbon, all the way to the end. Also Lisbon is an amazing city, the smaller size of the program leads to some really nice relationships, and our classes are nice.

Luisa, Joanna and Sara are wonderful program coordinators. They are incredibly helpful and warm welcoming. They always answer our questions with patience. I enjoyed the Lisbon program a lot and I feel like I got better at understanding Portuguese overall.

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.

I appreciated the group activities that were organized, and the quality of the professors and classes. If I could change something I would like to have had a stronger focus on Portuguese learning, but I get the feeling that many of the other students aren't interested in this so maybe that's why it's not focused on more.

The staff at Lisbon CIEE was extremely friendly and nice. They made me feel right at home and over fed me all the time. I love the planned activities they made for the group and the class was extremely fun.

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
