Memories and food
September 25, 2024by: Mai Ly O.Program: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: French Language & Culture in RennesI would recommend it because I overall had a really great experience with my friends and host family. Although going to class and some of the activities were a little boring for me, it was an overall great experience and I would love to travel again if given the opportunity. My most memorable experience in the program was hanging out with my friends really. Any activity we would do would just be better when I had my friends there and also the food. I loved the food and anytime I think about having a good experience I think back a lot to the food.
Mutual respect and trust
September 21, 2024by: Graham S.Program: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: French Language & Culture in RennesI would likely recommend this program to my peers because there were no negative elements in my experience with the program. I think it is well thought out and there isn't a large divide between the students and program leaders. I feel that there is mutual respect and trust.
Be prepared for school work!
September 14, 2024by: Saray C.Program: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: French Language & Culture in RennesIt was a very fun program and I got to do things and go places I’ve never been and it was all very exciting, but there’s also a lot of school work that takes away from the overall cultural experience.
