CEA CAPA Education Abroad

Studying abroad with CEA CAPA in Spain was such an amazing experience. From the beginning of enrolling in the program, I felt such a support system from CEA. They worked with me from before I even arrived and had me prepared by the summer came. Once I arrived, they walked me through every step of adjusting. They had scheduled excursions for us throughout the country and events in the city that really helped us immerse in the culture. I would recommend studying abroad in Seville, Spain to anyone and especially with CEA CAPA

I studied abroad with CEA CAPA in the Summer of 2023 in Paris, France. In my 6 weeks spent abroad, I was very pleased with what CEA CAPA had to offer. In terms of housing, the apartment was about what you would expect to receive at any university, and the kitchen was very small, though that was okay because I was able to spend most of my meals out, really getting the full French cuisine experience. The engineering class that I took was difficult, as is any, but the small class size made it easy to collaborate with others and to really delve into the knowledge. The sports & culture class that I took was fun and engaging, and really offered exploration of parts of the city I never would've ventured to on my own. CEA CAPA offered many opportunities to see parts of the city, starting with the initial boat ride along the River Seine, where I had my first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower, and ending with a ticket to a football match at the Stade du France, where we got to see a very exciting win! These are some things I never would have thought to do, but CEA CAPA made it all possible.

I tremendously enjoyed my experience with CEA CAPA in Paris. The school itself is located in a great location in one of the city's most historic neighborhoods. The academics were more strenuous than I expected after hearing so much about how 'easy' study abroad classes are. I was able to partake in relevant courses that always managed to tie into the culture and heritage of Paris itself, which I appreciated. The staff was also friendly and supportive. Excursions included in the program were also enjoyable - I got to experience a few things such as a football game and broadway show that I otherwise would not have been able to attend.

Majoring in engineering, I was worried I wouldn't be able to study abroad due to all of my course requirements, but CEA's summer engineering program was perfect and had the exact classes I needed. One of my favorite classes was The Golden City of Prague: Past & Present, my art history class. Each period we would go to a different historical site and learn about it in the context of art— it was super interesting and I got to see a ton of different places I wouldn’t have otherwise!

Originally I was nervous about being the only person from my home university in the program, but I met a lot of cool people and made lasting friendships. Prague's centralized location allowed me and my friends to travel to another country almost every week; we traveled from Prague to The Netherlands, Germany, Poland, and France over the course of our 8-week program.

The sense of independence and confidence I gained while overseas will stay with me for the rest of my life. Studying abroad in Prague was a life-changing experience. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to study abroad!

My summer in Rome was an unforgettable experience that I can't stop recommending to everyone! I absolutely loved the opportunity to live in the city and learn about its history at the same time. Being immersed in the Roman Empire while hearing its stories was one of my favorite parts. Italy overall has so much to offer, and with the trains and metro, Rome makes it easy to explore and travel around its different regions to get the full experience from its beautiful beaches to Tuscan country. CEA CAPA Staff was phenomenal throughout and was definitely one of the things I loved most about this trip. The staff always went above and beyond to make sure their students were supported and having the best expereince possible.
