CIEE support
The CIEE office in Rennes 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 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 Paris. 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 Rennes Office staff, who will also assist in the final transfer to Rennes in order to meet their host family.
CIEE excursions
To familiarize students with local culture and the areas surrounding Rennes, group activities such as field trips will be organized. Host families will also be asked to show students points of regional interest and to share cultural information. All activity fees are included in the price of the program.
