CIEE Teach in Spain - Good Value and great for making connections

I’ve been living in Madrid for a few months now teaching English through CIEE’s teach in Spain program. Overall, it’s been a great experience, particularly in the sense of being able to make friends and a have a network of like minded people from the start. The program fee of 2k was worth it I would say, the hotel for the first week is a huge convenience and great way to meet people and makes the first few days smooth. The visa support in the application process was helpful too. All in all the CIEE program was instrumental in my experience being great so far due to it being how I met a lot of people that became my friends. I would do the CIEE program specifically again and recommend it to anyone for that reason
