I got accepted to CIEE College First Year Abroad in Kyoto for Fall 2026 and I’m trying to connect with other people going (or alumni). I also noticed CIEE is running an 80th anniversary deal right now and the fall program fee is around $8k for the whole semester for the following countries: Denmark, England, Spain, Paris, Czech Republic, Italy, Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica, Japan, and South Korea.

If anyone’s done CIEE first year abroad and wants to provide some feedback, advice or honest review I’d love to hear about your experience. If you’re thinking of applying for Fall 2026 I’d love to hear your views. And if you’re applying for fall 2026, feel free to comment/DM, I’m trying to find people going too

(If anyone wants it, I also have a referral code that gives a small discount, I can DM if you want, I don’t want to spam 😭)

I’m doing CIEE College First Year Abroad this fall since the price significantly dropped and I’m trying to connect with other people in the program. If you’re going (or went before), I’d love any honest advice on housing (apartment vs homestay), budgeting, and what the class size/social vibe is like. Also curious how strict attendance/deadlines are

I just got admitted off the LMU waitlist into the School of Film & Television, but it’s for Film, Television, and Media Studies (my alternate major). I’m honestly torn

If you’re in FTVMS or you know how SFTV works: is it realistic to get hands-on production experience from this major, or is production pretty locked down? And how hard is it to switch either into production or into like a business major later? I’m trying to decide whether it’s smarter to start at LMU and try to move around once committed, or do a year/two somewhere else and transfer. Thank you

Also if you’ve done it, what did your internships/jobs look like coming out of FTVMS? Thanks!!
