Merida, Yucatan- Summer Study Abroad

If I had to describe my experience in one word, it would be unforgettable. Studying abroad with CIEE honestly felt like a dream. Everything about the program exceeded my expectations, from the location to the staff and the people I met. They made my dream of studying abroad come to life in a way I never imagined.

Whenever people ask me how my experience was, I always say the same thing: there are no words or pictures that can truly do it justice. It’s something you have to experience for yourself. The friendships I made, the culture, the food, the music, and the memories are things I’ll carry with me forever.

I learned so much about Mexico, but I also learned a lot about myself. I stepped out of my comfort zone, met incredible people from different places, and made memories that I’ll never forget. The staff genuinely cared about us and made sure we felt safe, supported, and welcomed throughout the entire program.

If you’re thinking about studying abroad, do it. I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I would choose CIEE all over again without hesitation
