    During my time in Japan, CIS Abroad helped with anything and everything I needed. If they couldn't help, then they found people that could. There were plenty of things to discover, plus CIS Abroad prepared their own excursions for us.

    CIS Abroad was super organized. They had a portal where I could see the paperwork I had to complete. I was immediately connected with an advisor I could contact super easily throughout the whole process. This was extremely helpful during visa applications!

    My bestie Krystal and I had a great time in Kyoto and made so many friends! CIS Abroad provided fun activities for us to do in the Kansai region that I would've missed if I hadn't done this program.
