Languages & Linguistics Study Abroad Programs in South Africa

It is an amazing program where they strive to help you learn how to integrate into a new culture but push you to do that hard work yourself as well. It is a challenging program with so many benefits (and you’ll make great friends)

I would recommend CIEE to a friend who wanted to study abroad in Cape Town. CIEE provides three housing options that tailor to different goals and personality types. CIEE also provides volunteer opportunities and a few field trips throughout the semester. Additionally, the HQ is centrally located in Ron Court and is a good home base for students in all three residence options, and there is always someone on staff available to talk to if there is a problem (students never feel totally on their own but rather always supported by the staff and the program).

It is an enriching experience that you cannot typically get inside a classroom setting. Traveling abroad opens up individuals to new cultures and new experience not found anywhere else. Every student should participate in a study abroad program and CIEE does this very well.

CIEE is the epitome of advocating for intercultural growth through study abroad. I cannot even put into words how transformative this program has been for my mind, heart, and soul. It is absolutely necessary to get such an experience, and the CIEE programs are a perfect platform for those kinds of opportunities.

I would be likely to recommend this to a friend because in my life I have experienced nothing else like it and I am all the better for this experience. I would recommend this course to friends who are really interested in learning and being active citizens of their home nation and any other nation they find themselves landing in.

The cultural immersion for this program depends on who you are. I recommend it because of THE CITY. I give it an 'A' rating not because of the program necessarily, but because of my experience.

CIEE provides a great support system, which is important in a place as complex as South Africa. They have students who walk you through the registration process at UCT during the day, then take you to all the best clubs at night. And Durban is stupid.
