CIEE Language and Culture in Lisbon, Portugal

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.

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
