I am a mother of a 15 year old daughter, who was signed with CIEE. I encourage all the parents to think a million times before signing a contract with that program. I can not describe all the stress we and my child has been through while she was in USA. CIEE signed my daughter with a family who wasn t properly checked and later I learned from my daughter that her host family was put their spare rooms for rent. And the conditions for living do not meet the standard that were promised and that we paid for. I will not talk again about how stressful the whole experience was, all i want is to warn you about CIEE and how careless they are, so that your child will come back healthy both physically and mentally.
Please to those of you who are interested to learn about CIEE you can contact our family, we have all the chats with CIEE the conditions in which our daughter was living in, voice recording of how CIEE was talking to us (their clients) we would be glad to share all that information with you, so that you can decide if you really want to sign contract with this program which is a total SCAM.
P.S: Our daughter is 173cm and her weight is 49 kg she came back with an eating disorder and her weight was 42kg. School year wasn t finished as CIEE canceled contract with her due to our daughter not answering the phone (they were calling in the middle of her school day) and when she tried calling back they never replied. And half of the sum CIEE kept for themselves.
