More affordable than other programs
by: Elizabeth B. - United StatesProgram: CIEE Gap Year: French Language & Culture in Paris, FranceI would recommend it because it was more affordable than other programs I saw, and my French level improved drastically within the seven week stay. My host family was awesome and Rennes was an amazing city. The instructors and the directors of the program were great people and easy to communicate with.
It's really awesome
by: Michelle C. - United StatesProgram: CIEE Gap Year: French Language & Culture in Paris, FranceI'd be likely to recommend CIEE study abroad to a friend because I think it's about as good of an experience as one might be able to get in terms of study abroad. It's really awesome how we have both excursions and intensive classes. I don't think the program is necessarily perfect but then again I don't think any program is - especially with something as daunting as studying in another country. I think CIEE gets about as close as one can :D
