CEA CAPA Education Abroad Reviews

Florence is a city that holds something for everyone. You can feel the history on every street you walk on. The food is inescapable and, believe me, you wouldn't want it any other way. You can enjoy the city, waterfront, and hillsides without ever needing access to a car. Whether you are alone or traveling with a group, Florence will welcome you in with open arms. There is always more to see in Florence, and you'll find some of the best places by just stumbling across them.
Your classes will keep you rapt and eager to learn more. The professors know what they're talking about and exactly how to teach it both in the classroom and out in their city. Study abroad isn't just about classes, but CEA CAPA's classes are an essential part of what makes the experience so wonderful.
Not a day has gone by that I don't reminisce on my time in Florence.

CEA was a great program to study abroad through. Before leaving to go overseas, they did a great job of sending out emails, reminding students of important dates and deadlines for important items such as CEA applications and Visa submissions. Once I was overseas in the CEA program, I thought they did a great job integrating the students into the cultures by hosting orientations and giving us and understanding of what to expect in Rome. As classes began, professors were very informative and understanding of the students busy schedules! They gave minimal homework and most classes were only held Monday-Wednesday, giving students the chance to leave Thursday to travel to a new destination for the weekend. I felt very supported throughout my time in Rome by the CEA Capa instructors and would recommend students to go through this program if they are interested.

I completed the Lex Fellowship's London program in May 2026, gaining firsthand exposure to London's legal landscape through both classroom study and real-world practice. Most mornings began at a law firm, where attorneys led hands-on activities that gave us a genuine sense of their day-to-day work. In the afternoons, we shifted into a classroom setting, where seminars helped us unpack and contextualize what we'd observed that morning. This balance of practical exposure and academic reflection made the material stick in a way lectures alone couldn't have. The people who I did this program with, stood out just as much as the program. They were hardworking, driven, and genuinely fun to be around, which made the long days feel worthwhile.

I studied in Madrid with CEA capa from February to May 2026. I had a phenomenal experience with them and got everything I wanted out of studying abroad. Madrid is the perfect location if you want to live in a bustling city full of cool young people. While abroad I met a solid mix of locals and travelers and heard some amazing stories. Madrid has wonderful public transportation that makes getting anywhere in the city super easy, and CEA capa will even provide you with a metro card at the start of your program. Lastly, the staff was so helpful and offered tons of activities for students to get to know each other, the city and culture.

Studying abroad in Barcelona with CEA CAPA was truly one of the best experiences of my college career. What made the program so special was that my experience went far beyond just taking classes abroad. CEA CAPA gave me many opportunities to immerse myself in Spanish culture through activities and excursions, such as cooking classes, a day trip to Sitges, and a visit to an FC Barcelona game. Throughout my time abroad, I became so much more independent and confident in myself. By the end of the program, Barcelona genuinely felt like a second home, which made leaving incredibly bittersweet. I would absolutely recommend CEA CAPA to anyone considering studying abroad, especially students who want a program that provides support and structured experiences while still allowing them the freedom to make their study abroad experience their own. If you are considering studying abroad, do it. You will come home with amazing memories and friendships that you will carry with you long after the semester ends!

After I signed up for study abroad, it didn't feel real. I was petrified, but soooo excited. I almost pulled out of it a couple of times out of fear and the feeling of being unsure, but I am so glad I didn't !! It was an experience I never could've imagined, and I'd study abroad and intern in London all over again. The classes were so fun and all of the staff was supportive and encouraging, and my supervisor was the best! I learned a lot and grew so much in the 6.5 weeks. Life changing experience!

Studying in Florence, Italy was such a surreal and amazing opportunity; I'm so glad I committed to it. I was originally very hesitant about studying abroad, but I decided to take a leap of faith, and it became such a rewarding experience. Florence was the perfect location for me; it was the perfect mix of rich culture but not too overwhelming. The CEA CAPA staff was extremely caring and helpful through every single step of the process. The beginning of my experience wasn't perfect, but the staff made sure I knew I wasn't alone, and by the end of my experience, I found myself not wanting to leave them.

I absolutely loved my time with CEA CAPA in Barcelona. Not only was I able to study abroad, I also was able to intern alongside my studies with a local events company. I went completely alone and met so many of my closest friends there. Not only did CEA provide excellent support every step of the way, but the city itself was so supportive. It was such a great experience to experience a new culture, city, job environment, and meet so many new people too. I would go back in an instant, and would highly recommend going.

Studying abroad with CEA Capa was truly the best experience of my life. I appreciate all of the support from the staff at CEA as they greatly contributed to my positive experience. Living in Rome facilitated constant learning as we were placed among historical ruins. CEA offered classes that capitalized on this, by teaching about the history of Rome. They also had classes that allowed us to explore Rome and draw it. In addition to classes, the staff set up multiple events in which we could learn about the culture and take part in fun extracurriculars.

I studied in Prague in Spring 2026 with CEA CAPA! I found experiences in this program that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Prague is a truly vibrant, historical city, where there is always more to explore. Charles Bridge is completely breathtaking, and I enjoyed just walking across it between classes. Prague also has a variety of restaurants that I was able to try with friends in my program! The program also offered a variety of classes and I was able to continue fulfilling requirements for my home school while abroad. I simultaneously learned about the city's architecture, political history, and current events. I think this program is perfect for anyone who enjoys a mix of nature and city life!
