The best program for studying abroad

I LOVED my abroad program with CISabroad in Limerick. They set us up in some of the best housing on campus, had monthly excursions outside of our own personal traveling experiences, and our program adviser (John Hayes) was always on call for emergencies. I wound up in the hospital during my time abroad and he was always checking in on me and really cared about my well-being. He also brought us into the city to help us buy linens, advised us on how to navigate the bus system, and helped us set up phone plans during our stay. Through the program, I've made life-long friends that I talk to all the time (I actually just visited them this past weekend). Traveling to a foreign country can be a little intimidating, especially if you're going for several months. I never felt like the program would leave me without a safety net. They also helped make the immigration and visa process painless. I had friends who had used other programs in other countries who struggled to get visas on time; that was never a concern for me because CISabroad made it so easy.
My time in Limerick was some of the best months of my life and I know the program had something to do with it. I wouldn't have gone to Northern Ireland for a weekend, and I wouldn't have made the friends I have now without CISabroad. I'm incredibly thankful for being able to be a part of the program, and I recommend it to everyone I know.
