Are companies like CIEE, IES Abroad, CIS Abroad, Carpe Diem Education a rip off?
Quote from maddison on February 1, 2025, 9:21 amHi all, I'm researching learning / summer study / intern abroad programs and I made a short list of companies:
• CIEE
• IES Abroad
• CIS Abroad
• Carpe Diem Education... but is it me or are they a total rip off? They charge around $25,000 which is such a lot of money to pay.
Does anyone have any experiences with these companies or recommendations for cheaper / better programs?
