My year with CIEE

CIEE and its U.S. and Spain staff were very helpful and accommodating with my move and transition to Spain. Lauren Massey was particularly patient and helpful with all of my visa questions. The Spanish staff were also very helpful and friendly during orientation week. CIEE provided a plethora of information regarding living, working, and getting around Madrid as well as how to navigate the Spanish bureaucracy and tips and tricks for finding housing. I would recommend this program to anyone who is new to living abroad or would prefer the extra assistance and benefits such as the travel insurance which other programs do not provide for their first year in Spain.
