CEA CAPA Education Abroad

It was an incredibly enlightening experience on the country. I had enough time to see the good, the bad AND be educated on my chosen topics. It was worth it to see all the sights alone and visit for a while. Food especially was incredible and I love the program sponsored events both on and off campus. I only wish the buddy system worked a bit better as I didn't get to spend much time with them. Luckily, always plenty of friends around and opportunities to explore together. We went to various food areas, participated in events with local students and even our classes had trips to museums and other areas of interest in the city!

This past spring, I had the opportunity to study abroad for a semester in Aix-en-Provence, France. During my stay, I continued my academic journey by enrolling in several business and French classes. It was amazing to have a diverse team of professors from so many different backgrounds. My only critique of the academics was that, overall, they were not challenging at all. Many of my classmates agreed that the classes were way too easy and that many of the professors were underqualified to teach impactful lessons. However, considering that most students would rather focus on fun experiences instead of classes while studying abroad, this was not the worst thing. Overall, I absolutely fell in love with Aix-en-Provence. The locals, excursions, food, and scenery are things I will never forget. This is an experience you cannot miss.

I love CEA CAPA and the staff there. Not only did the staff pick us up at the airport and let us rest on our first day, but they also had everything planned out for us, such as our trips and the sites we visited for our class project. They went above and beyond by leaving us Italian breakfast snacks and towels so we didn't have to worry about our accommodations. I was able to talk to the staff like friends and learn new things about each other. They made everything much easier because we knew that if we had any questions, we could always go to them for help or support.

My experience with CEA CAPA Education Abroad was outstanding from start to finish. The staff was incredibly supportive and made the transition to studying abroad seamless. From the moment I arrived, airport pickup and orientation were well organized, which helped me feel comfortable and welcomed in a new country.
One of the highlights of the program was how easy they made the housing process. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and located in convenient areas, taking away a lot of the stress that can come with living abroad.
During my time abroad, I became ill, and I was impressed by the level of support available. CEA CAPA provided access to excellent resources, guided me through the healthcare process, and ensured that my insurance coverage was easy to use. Knowing that help was readily available gave me great peace of mind.
The learning environment was also exceptional. Both the facilities and classrooms were modern, well maintained, and very clean. The overall environment felt safe, professional, and conducive to learning.

I highly recommend CEA CAPA Education Abroad to anyone considering studying abroad. Their dedication to student well-being, academic success, and overall experience truly sets them apart.

My experience was unique because I stayed with a beautiful host family who were all born and raised in Barcelona, Spain. The mother Blanca, the father Jordi, and their son Jordi Jr, although they had four kids in total. I was able to immerse more into the Catalan culture living with them. They took me mountain climbing on Montserrat. I was able to learn about their views on life and the political system. They told me all about the saints days they celebrate like Saint Jordi's day on April 24th which is the equivalent of Valentines day.
