Life changing experience

I really loved joining CIEE Rome and getting to explore everything the host culture had to offer. One thing I got out of the experience that was unexpected, was a different way of learning the curriculum. The staff was very passionate about the class subjects and made it an interesting and engaged process. we were able to learn both in the classroom and outside by participating and walking tours, excursions and events. If you have this once in a lifetime opportunity, I would definitely suggest taking it and making the most out of it! It will be an experience and a memory forever. ♥️

Pros
  • Culture
  • Friendships

CIEE Rome Spring 2023 College Abroad Studies

Studying at CIEE in Rome Italy was the best decision I have ever made. It introduced me to many lifelong international friends, amazing experiences, a unique learning experience, and much more. I am currently 21 years old, and a junior in college. At first, I was very hesitant to study abroad. I had never been outside of the country and I didn't speak any foreign languages. However, I decided to overcome this uncertainty and study abroad here in Rome. CIEE did an amazing job informing us students about what to expect pre-departure, once we got here, and everything else we needed to hear. CIEE made this experience extremely easy, enjoyable, beneficial, and exciting. They helped me grow my independence and not fear getting outside my comfort zone. If you are curious about studying abroad, definitely look into CIEE. They are the best study-abroad program and will offer you the best experience of your life. I highly recommend CIEE, and I promise you won't regret it!

Pros
  • Learning about a new culture
  • Learning a new language
  • Infinite amounts of support

Once in a life time experience

I studied abroad in Rome a year ago and I still reminisce about the program. CIEE is a great program that offers a wide range of academic classes from business to wine to art history. The program structure also allows for a lot of weekend time to travel and see all parts of Italy in addition to other countries. The staff was also always readily available which made the transition of living in another country all the easier! CIEE also provided many day trips and events on the expense of the program so this was a wonderful opportunity to become immersed with the city on a budget!

CIEE Open Campus - Rome and Madrid

I had the most amazing time studying abroad specifically with this program with CIEE. I never had been out of the country so it was very important for me to choose a program that was there every step of the way with guidance and support. I also wanted to be in a program with immersive and interactive courses which is what CIEE provided. Another amazing aspect of studying with CIEE is the ability to do activities and meet other students in the program! Overall, I had such an amazing experience because of this amazing program.

Pros
  • great locations and multiple locations
  • flexible class schedule
  • interactive program
Cons

CIEE Summer in Rome Review

My experience was amazing and I got a lot of help from the local CIEE staff which made me feel comfortable. Our housing situation was unique from the rest of the CIEE students which was not the fault of the CIEE staff because they weren't aware that our apartment would not have sufficient requirements and some negatives. The staff tried their best to make us feel comfortable as they knew we were there without our families. The excursions provided by CIEE were the best as they took us to places we would want to go anyway but even pay for them as well as provided food on certain occasions as well as transportation.

Amazing semester in Rome!

I made an incredible decision spending my semester abroad with CIEE in Rome. The campus itself is in a prime location -- right in the historical center of the city, and surrounded by incredible sights and places to eat. I particularly enjoyed the classes I took in art history and Roman history, as most of our classes were held on-site at archaeological sites, churches, museums, historical points of interest, and so on. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Roman history and Italian culture!

CIEE Summer in Rome

My study abroad experience was unique because I only did a four week program. This forced me to adapt much quicker to the scene knowing I would be leaving so quickly. I also took the opportunity to do this program alone - while many other individuals tend to go abroad with friends. With CIEE, I was able to learn and engage with Italian cinema, learn Italian in the classroom and utilize it in social settings for assessment, and go on trips to emerge in other areas of Italian life! I loved this!!!

Pros
  • Great leadership from teachers and CIEE staff.
  • Get to travel and engage in a new culture.
  • Make some lifelong friends!
Cons
  • Too short):
  • Some confusion leading up to program beginning with financials, what is included, etc
  • The housing we were put in was adequate, but not as nice as other CIEE students.
