Review

I am so grateful for my time in Amsterdam with CEA CAPA; the whole thing was such a dream. I enrolled in the program to finish my psychology minor, which was a discipline I had begun to fall out of love with (it often begins to feel rather technical and cold), but taking a class with CEA CAPA's university partner entirely reminded me why I was interested in the field to begin with--for the betterment of lives. Every day I sat next to someone from a different country, and our conversations about what constitutes humanity reached a great depth between the sorts of experiences we have alike and otherwise. Amsterdam itself is so remarkable as well; it has a charm entirely its own. With this program, students stay in the Zuid district (which is more on the business side of things than Amsterdam's iconic old town) which creates a really nice balance between the bustle of the more famous part of the city and the upscale district where the university is (the program directors taught us how to use the metro; we would take it into Centrum whenever we wanted to after class). I cannot express enough: I really really loved my time here. I hope you get the chance to miss it as much as I do now; it is such a gift!
