More Than I Expected
March 29, 2025by: Ella K.Program: CIEE Tropical Ecology + Conservation in Costa RicaIt was an amazing experience that I got even more out of than I expected! The campus is very beautiful and well maintained, I especially loved every field trip, I feel that I learned so much on these trips. I also liked the ability to independently travel off campus and the transportation to Santa Elena. I felt supported by the staff, and felt happy that many spent the time to get to know us. I felt very connected to the other students and I learned a lot about the topics I came here to learn about, and I gained a new perspective on everything and feel inspired by the support and encouragement given by my instructors. I liked the workload amount that allowed me to learn a lot but also allowed me time to experience the country. I liked the events that were put on for students such as the Halloween masquerade. I think it was a great experience and would recommend it to anyone! I'm sad that I have to leave and hope to return one day.
CIEE Made Study Abroad Less Scary
March 28, 2025by: Stella C.Program: CIEE Open Campus Block in Rome, ItalyI found CIEE to be very well run. I really liked the block set up and how it allowed me to take so many different classes. It was nice to be able to learn about so many different things. Also the way everything was organized with extracurriculars was really nice. It just made the whole abroad experience less scary.
Well Organized and Very Helpful Staff
March 28, 2025by: Isabel S.Program: CIEE Semester in SevilleThe program was well-organized and I really enjoyed my time in Sevilla! I learned so much about Spanish culture, and I think that CIEE helped facilitate this through coursework, cultural activities, etc. They were helpful and prompt with any questions I had relating to housing, schoolwork, my well-being, etc.

Studying abroad in Italy has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I still remember being in high school telling my parents about how when I get to college I would spend a semester as soon as possible abroad in Italy. Everyone saw it as this silly pipe dream of mine, but I was serious. When the fall semester of my sophomore year rolled around, I was determined to make this ambitious dream of mine come true. I have always been fascinated with Italy's rich history and culture and to get to experience that for the very first time for such a long period of time was an idea so surreal to me.
