  CISabroad - Summer in the British Isles Amazing Program

  This is an amazing program if you want to do a ton in a short time. Scotland was the highlight but the London segment was incredible as well.

  CISabroad - Summer in the British Isles Experience

  Reviewed by Kayla Patrick on June 26, 2012 .

  "It's all apart of the experience" was literally our motto for this trip. It was our motto when things were going bad, and sometimes even when things were going good. It really was an experience, some parts good and some bad. I wouldn't trade what I learned here for the world. I might not have learned as much academically as I would've liked to, but I learned a lot of other things

  CISabroad - Summer in the British Isles Where did all the money go?

  Reviewed by Lindsay Christine on June 30, 2012 .

  I had an amazing time studying abroad and met a lot of really great people. I saw things that most people will not get to see in their lifetime like the Cliffs of Moher, Giant's Causeway, the Highlands, Windsor Palace, the Royal Family, Stone Henge, and Oxford. There were a lot of times, however, I questioned how exactly my money was being spent by CIS. Many of the other people on the trip with me requested detailed receipts, but never got one.

  CISabroad - Summer in the British Isles A good balance of travel, tours and learning

  Reviewed by Abby Ringiewicz on June 30, 2012 .

  The Summer in the British Isles program offered a fair balance of travel (in the first two weeks in Ireland and Scotland), touring and learning. I found that the tours and tour guides provided us with the most valuable information and learning experiences, and although the tour buses were tedious, they provided a great site-seeing opportunity.

  CISabroad - Summer in the British Isles Average

  Reviewed by Jaclyn Jansing on July 01, 2012 .

  My experience with CISAbroad was mixed. In the Ireland portion of the trip, I learned a lot and the people that traveled with us were amazing. The excursions were useful and fun and I loved my experience there. In Scotland the accommodations were nice and the excursions were fun, but the guide was awful. I learned nothing from her. In London, were it not for our own trips and outings, I would have been very upset. Many excursions were disappointing, and the leader did not do her job. We had problems in the rooms and she expecting us to fix them ourselves, we had to complain to get her to do her job. Overall, I had an amazing experience, but I would not choose CISAbroad again. I loved the places we went, but I did not love the program.

  CISabroad - Summer in the British Isles Great experience, poor programming.

  Reviewed by Meghan Brooks on July 08, 2012 .

  I felt treated like a child most of the time. Our excursions often felt like high school field trips, with chaperones and rules and long bus rides. The Irish and Scottish tour guides we had were great. They were what made the experience meaningful, in my opinion. If you are a very independent, mature person with great leadership and social qualities, I would NOT recommend Summer in the British Isles. If you like people telling you what do to, where to go, and when to be where, (just lots of directions) and are not very independent, this is the right program for you.

  CISabroad - Summer in the British Isles Good

  Reviewed by Claire Willingham on July 16, 2012 .

  I really liked the program and the classes, but I felt like we weren't really in London. I wish we had been closer to the city so that we could have experienced more things. Getting into the city took time, and I feel like I didn't have enough time to do everything I wanted to do.
