Best Semester Ever

Nov 2, 2011

Studying abroad in Brazil with the CCI Program was the best decision of my life. Thanks to CCI, I was placed with a wonderful host family, in a very safe part of town, and had lots of local support. My school, family, and community was very welcoming. My social calendar was always full of fun events! I was provided a language teacher and daily lessons for the first month, which allowed me to communicate much better. Safety was never a concern for me because I always felt confortable with all of the support I was provided in this program.
