Experience Abroad

The program was infallible. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and working with the CIEE staff. Apart from the socials they organized to get to know one-another and learn about the Chilean culture, they were extremely welcoming and helpful. They were great in providing insight on how to adapt and thrive in a new country as a visitor, and provided great recommendations on things that must be done while there, including but not limited to: visiting the universities, beaches, mountains, learning of Chile’s rich and complicated history and how it ties in to what we saw during our stay there, and reading the works of their literary luminaries. etc. I learned a great deal of Chilean history through the program and found especially insightful the analysis of the Chilean newspaper, “El Mercurio”- the critical thinking which I brought back with me while reading the papers. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the depth of the CIEE program. I will always be grateful having been surrounded with such amazing staff that gave me the some of the greatest experiences of my life.
