See What CIEE Alums Are Saying

  • "Don’t be sad your trip ended; your journey with CIEE has just started!"

    Karen CIEE Global Navigator Alum & CIEE Ambassador

  • "I had the best 4 weeks in Seville, Spain. I lived with an amazing host mother and a roommate, who I became best friends with. My host mom was an amazing cook and I got to talk to her through shared meals and I learned so much from her! Living with a host family made the experience so much more immersive. CIEE also has fun activities planned almost everyday."

    Aiko CIEE Global Navigator Alum

  • "I’ll admit—I was nervous when I submitted my application to CIEE and even more nervous when everything was set and it was time for me to go to Barcelona. As soon as I got there, though, I knew it would be the experience of a lifetime; over four weeks, I got to experience the language and culture of Spain (it says it in the name of the program) in a way that is fully immersed and helps you grow in both the Spanish language and in your understanding of the world."
