My experience with CIEE Berlin is something that I'll remember for the rest of my life. This city is amazing and Id easily call it my second home. Because of how diverse Berlin is I not only got to experience German culture but several others too. These cultural experiences have lead to personal growth that I'm already seeing the effects of. It's also a city that you will never get bored in. Just by walking down the street there is always a new restaurant, store, or activity to explore. This program is everything I hoped study abroad to be and more and would highly recommend anyone thinking of studying abroad to absolutely go for it and 100% look at Berlin!

Studying abroad in Berlin has been an incredible journey that has profoundly impacted my life. The experience has opened my eyes to various cultures, not just within Berlin but also in the surrounding areas. This immersion has been a source of immense joy and has enriched my understanding of the world in ways I can't fully express.

One of the most significant aspects of this journey has been the development of my independence and self-awareness. Being in a new environment has encouraged me to discover more about who I am as a person and how I can incorporate this growth into my future endeavors. The challenges and opportunities here have truly shaped me.

I am deeply grateful for the support and guidance provided by the staff in Berlin. Their assistance has not only made my academic pursuits smoother but has also fostered a sense of community that has been invaluable as a student abroad. Their presence has made every day here more meaningful.

Without a doubt, choosing to come to Berlin has been one of the best decisions of my life. This experience will forever alter the way I perceive the world, leaving an indelible mark on my perspective and future aspirations.

Thank You CIEE BERLIN!

The CIEE building was located in an amazing part of Berlin with easy transportation around the city. Resources provided by the program were beyond helpful and aided in making the integration into the city as easy as possible. Berlin is a notably easy city to integrate into even without speaking any German. The transportation system and structure of the course made it incredibly easy to travel around the country with plenty of time to get back in time for class or internships. Internships were relevant to student's careers and were a great resume booster.

I'm so glad I did this program. I have no regrets! It was really expensive, but it's worth the money. I made so many great friends and memories during my 8 weeks here; and I've also grown a lot. When I told people I was doing study abroad in Berlin, they always asked why. This city is criminally underrated. Berlin summers are so beautiful because of the great weather and amount of greenery everywhere. The public transportation is also a bonus, making everything easily accessible. I recommend renting a bike from Swapfiets, as it's the best way to explore the city.

My experience was incredibly rewarding and culturally rich. If I hadn’t decided to do the program, I think I would have missed out on not only a great time but a wonderful career opportunity as well, as I have made so many interesting contacts along the way in my internship and academic settings. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to have a study abroad experience that is orientated toward future career interests, and also, who is curious about learning to work in a foreign job market.

The CIEE staff is wonderful. We got to participate in excursions with our fellow students. We were able to learn about Berlin as well as travel to other cities in Germany. I felt comfortable and safe while living in the CIEE dorms. The student life team gave us recommendations of places to visit in Berlin as well as provided us with information on events that were going on each week. I would recommend the CIEE Study Abroad program to anyone who is looking for an adventure in a new country! I enjoyed it very much.

I was hesitant about studying in Germany because I have never been before and am a health science major. The CIEE staff was super helpful and consistent with reaching out. I was able to complete my major-required classes by doing one on one courses. The location seems scary from the outside but is beautiful on the inside. Students are outside the city's heart, providing excellent food and fun. You definitely have to get used to cooking for yourself because you live in an apartment-style building but share a kitchen with other students. I experienced a language barrier but quickly picked up on short phrases. At first, I was intimidated by the people, but they are friendly and most of them speak English. I had such a great time that I am already planning my next trip back!!

Coming to CIEE in Berlin was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Academically, I had a lot of fun learning about entrepreneurship and start-ups with a great professor who made the class a lot of fun and taught us a lot. On the personal level I had great time. I met a lot of cool people from either the United States or Germany and made great friends in a very short time. CIEE was also really helpful in that aspect as they organized some excursions that helped us explore more of Berlin and outside Berlin as we went to Leipzig.
