CIEE support
The CIEE Office Seville is responsible for the supervision and support of CIEE participants throughout the duration of their stay. A local coordinator is assigned to each student and will remain in regular contact throughout the semester/year in order to check in on the student's language progress and to make sure that home life and the volunteer placements continues to go well. The CIEE Office selects, screens, and interviews all host families and will place students in a family that best matches the student profile.
CIEE orientation
Orientation will take place upon your arrival in Seville. The orientation program consists of information on important topics such as an introduction to your host city and country, getting to know your host family, volunteer opportunities, health and safety, tips on how to adjust to a new culture and language, the academic program, and getting to know other students going to the same country. Students will be met at the airport upon their arrival by CIEE Seville Office staff, which will also assist in the final transfer to their host family.
CIEE excursions
In Seville, the host family interact with their students in everyday activities such as a local exhibit, a daytrip to a nearby town, attending a concert or play or opera, or a possible trip to the host family’s home town.. Students may have the opportunity to become part of local sports teams or other recreational pursuits, as available. Students may also participate in CIEE organized events. Available trips will be discussed during your on-site orientation. A trip to Morocco is included during your period in Seville and a trip to Salamanca for the yearlong participants in the spring.
