Our students come from all regions of the world and quickly become part of the CIES family. Here is what some of them have said about their experience:
"When I came to CIES I didnt speak or understand anything in English, but now I am happy because I can communicate with many people in English. I have made friends of different nationalities. My teachers are very friendly and they help me a lot. I feel like I am at home when I am at CIES."Kelly Ramirez, Venezuela

 

" CIES was very good for me. I learned English very quickly and met different people. My teachers helped me and gave me information about everything. It was like home. I will miss CIES."
Havva Altundas, Turkey

" I really like to study at CIES because the staff is kind to me and gives me a lot of information about everything, living in the U.S.A., trying the university, and studying English. I feel very comfortable because all of the CIES staff is like family."
Hyun Ah Cha, South Korea

" CIES is like at home. Teachers are friendly. I always took classes over a cup of coffee, it was one of my pleasures. I met people from many different countries. It was a great experience for me."

CIES students work hard in the classroom, but always have time for CIES activities outside of class. These activities bring students together and give them many chances to practice their new English skills with native speakers in real situations. Museums, beaches, rivers, historical cities and sporting events are just some of the many places students visit together.
