CIEE Summer Psychology in Prague

In summer 2022 I got the opportunity to study abroad in Prague, CZ through CIEE. I took two courses there; a social psychology course and an intro Czech language course. Everything about the program was seamless; CIEE employees greeted us at the airport, provided housing, had on-site orientation, and planned excursions and activities for everyone in the program. Every employee of CIEE that I interacted with was kind and went out of their way to make sure our needs were met. I would recommend CIEE to everyone!

Pros
  • Affordable City
  • Easy to Get Around
  • Great Food Options
Cons
  • Hilly

Central European Studies with CIEE

I cannot recommend the Prague CIEE program enough. The people in our program went from strangers to incredible friends in a few short months because of the intimate program CIEE created. The housing was in a safe, practical, and beautiful neighborhood that I pitched myself I got to live in every day. When any of us had a problem, every single person at CIEE was willing to drop anything to help us which took all the worry of directions, translating, and overall stress off of you as the student. CIEE staff made us feel at home in a foreign place and created an experience that absolutely changed my life.

Pros
  • Easy Transportation
  • Breathtaking artchitecture and history
  • Amazing nightlife
Cons
  • Heavy foods
  • Gets cold fast

Amazing summer of Czech culture

CIEE Prague was an amazing experience. I hadn't traveled outside of North America before so I was nervous, but with CIEE Prague, they showed me how this city was the perfect place to start with how easy the metro is to go anywhere, and the community you're surrounded by. They have the best CIEE staff! You meet great friends to adventure with. The CIEE staff also have some pretty sweet recommendations for sunset views, and activities. My favorite experiences were getting to be a part of this city and culture, learn some of the language, and travel some too. My roommate and I took a day trip to Karlovy Vary, a city in Czech Republic that was amazing! It overall has been the best opportunity of college.

Pros
  • learning the history of Prague, and it's beauty
  • meeting new friends in the program
  • experiencing a new culture

Truly one of the best summers I have ever had. I will always remember the relationships I formed and the experiences I had in Prague during this program run by CIEE! There were opportunities for everyone from various backgrounds. I felt as I could go out with friends one night and explore the city in unique day excursions the next. Being surrounded by so much history and people who actively wanted to explore provided the perfect mixture of comfortability and adventure. I loved Prague so much and the whole program was very rewarding and served as a foundation of growth for myself.

Pros
  • adventure/new experiences
  • beautiful city
  • new friends and meet new people
Cons
  • hot with no A/C
  • language barrier at times (was not very challenging to deal with overall)
  • N/A

CIEE Prague

CIEE Prague was a great experience! The staff are attentive to student needs and go above and beyond. The academics are appropriately challenging. I had a great time, it was the best CIEE Summer Program I have done and I attended three. It was a small program size so we really got to know our fellow classmates, professors, and program leaders. I enjoyed our trip to the Pilsen Pilsner Brewery, as well as the private tram tour. The program even came with an unlimited tram pass for the duration of our stay, which was extremely useful!

Pros
  • Underground Alternative Clubs
  • Safe City
  • Friendly People

You will never get bored, and traveling will open your horizons while expanding your perspective on life and cultures.

CIEE Prague Internship

I studied abroad in Prague the summer of 2022. I was a bit nervous going into the experience, but it has been one of the best things I have done for myself. I have enjoyed meeting people from all around the United States and living in a different country has taught me endless things about the world that I otherwise would not have known. The apartment that I lived in was very nice and had all the necessary appliances. The CIEE staff have been some of the nicest people I've met and always took the time to answer my endless questions about the culture of the Czech Republic. The other students were always fun and it was great getting to know everyone. My internship was wonderful and everybody was wanting to help when I asked. The class that I took alongside was helpful and useful. The city of Prague itself is absolutely beautiful and the public transportation is very useful and easy to get around to see all the different spots. Overall I thought that the experience has helped me grow a lot as an individual and I hope that I have the pleasure of visiting Prague again sometime very soon.

Pros
  • Amazing food
  • Beautiful City
  • So many activities
Cons
  • Quiet hours start at 10pm all days of the week

Prague Study Abroad

This was one of the greatest experiences in my whole life. I studied abroad to fulfill requirements for my International Business minor and took a chance to go against the usual Italy or Spain, and went to the Czech Republic. The program and staff were wonderful, I felt that they wanted us to experience all that we could and they supported us the entire program. I took classes only through CIEE because of how my requirements and schedule turned out, but the opportunity to take classes at Charles University is not something that should be passed on. I could not asked for a better time there and Prague is such a beautiful and historical city, and I never felt unsafe there. It was the best.

Pros
  • The program staff
  • The places to explore
  • Self-growth
Cons
  • Not being able to easily meet locals
