We asked advisors what made CISabroad different and here’s what they said:
Knowledgeable staff: "CISabroad's knowledgeable staff is available at any given time to answer questions and assist students. They connect with students, parents, professor and administrators."
Innovation: "CISabroad is known for creative thinking outside the box in terms of new program initiatives."
Partner in implementation: "Whether it’s participating in orientation, facilitating the financial aspects, sharing materials (eg the advisor handbook), or offering recruitment strategies, CISabroad connects US schools with the host institutions that they represent."
Cost effective: "CISabroad has programs made for students looking for affordability where they would not be able to study abroad otherwise."
Personalized service: "With CISabroad, you can build personal relationships with the staff and director and feel that you have built a close affiliation with the organization. There is a shared commitment to providing program excellence."
Feedback: "Feedback is always shared and welcomed between CISabroad and US schools and this provides for better communication and investment at all levels."
Green company: "Many of our students are committed to living a Green lifestyle; knowing that CISabroad is a green company makes a difference to them."
"CISabroad provides outstanding programs that have a very strong academic focus. They take great strides to make sure that their programs are very academically, culturally, financially, and environmentally sound. Your student would be very hard pressed to find another study abroad organization that provides as much as CISabroad does at the same price. I strongly recommend this organization to both you and your student. CISabroad provides discounts to students of affiliated universities and are simply a great organization to work with. Your student is in for the experience of a lifetime!"
