Amazing Time

I went abroad to shadow doctors in a clinic in Seville and I had an amazing time. I got to follow doctors in a wide range of specialties and got to observe their daily routine from patient operations to grabbing lunch from the bodega down the street. While the program made sure I was getting a valuable education in the medical system it also made space for me to immerse myself in the culture of Seville by taking me to museums and the best restaurants in the city. Overall I had a fantastic time and not only gained experiences to tag onto my resume, but also had time to explore an entirely new place and broaden my knowledge of Spain's culture.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
At one of the restaurants we went to we ate a paella made of rice which was pitch black. The waiter explained that it had been coated in squid ink and while I was apprehensive at first it turned out to be delicious and I helped myself to three servings.
Pros
  • The people
  • The food
  • The beautiful architecture
What other participants should know
  • The heat
  • A lot of walking

Studying abroad and Interning in Prague.

Over this summer, I was able to study abroad and internship in Prague, and it was one of the best experiences I ever had. There were many challenges at the start, but once I was able to find my grove, everything seemed to fall in easier. With every student that I met, I was able to learn something new about myself and make tons of friends that I hope I can connect with again in the future. As well as, the CEA CAPA staff and my internship staff were very helpful in making me feel comfortable when living in a new city. I would highly recommend this program.

My Experience with CEA CAPA

The program was all around amazing. I was able to make some great friends, and the staff were able to help me out with any problems that I had. It was hard when I was studying abroad at first I was having a few issues But honestly I don't think that I would change anything about my experience. Every student that I was able to meet in Prague, made an impression on my life and most I hope I can see again someday. I cannot wait to start the process of being an alumni ambassador. It will be a fun experience that I cannot wait to start.

Life Changing Study Abroad

Going abroad with CEA CAPA was one of the best decisions I've made. They helped me along the entire process and my experience in Argentina was incredible. I was matched with the best roommate and we had the cutest apartment in the top floor of a building with a rooftop pool. We became besties with our landlord, and were positioned in the best neighborhood in BA. We were right next to beautiful parks, coffee shops, and the polo fields and race track, my personal favorite. The bus to school was uncomplicated, and the neighborhood our school was in was very bougie and I felt safe walking the 35-40 minutes home on occasion. I met so many amazing people and made some life-long friendships. Book the trip you wont regret!!

What was your funniest moment?
Funniest moment- there was so many its hard to choose, but my roommate did try to find my insta before we moved in together and she found the insta of this crazy looking girl so she tried to get a new roommate or switch housing but it was too late. Then we ended up becoming besties and she finally told me a month later that she thought I was this crazy girl at first.
Pros
  • housing
  • friends
  • COFFEE SHOPS
What other participants should know
  • the city was a bit intense at times, but i'm from a small town so...
  • sometimes the bus was late but ubers are insanely cheap
  • we were kinda far from school but it wasn't bad and our neighborhood was the best

An Unforgettable Experience

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 CAPA Rome Education Review

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.

What was your funniest moment?
One of the most fun moments in the CEA Capa program was during the class hours of my Roman Art History class. My professor decided to take us all to the local coffee shop to get to know more locals within the city. We all had such a great time getting to know our professors and the coffee shop workers as well.
Pros
  • Small sized school
  • Strong Support
  • Not rigorous classwork
What other participants should know
  • Smaller program size

The Lex Fellowship: London (Summer 2026)

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.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Touring Parliament was a highlight for me. Witnessing firsthand how differently the UK legal system operates, the centuries-old traditions it upholds, and its vast, complex history pushed me to want to learn more. One tradition stood out: slamming the door in the face of the messenger sent to summon the Commons to the House of Lords. The experience deepened my appreciation and understanding of our own legal system back in the US.
Pros
  • The wide variety of food
  • The public transportation system
  • The historical landmarks, tours, gardens, excursions, etc.
What other participants should know
  • The housing (no AC)
  • Travel time to law firms

Madrid 2026

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.

The Best Decision I Made in College

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!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My biggest advice is to take advantage of every opportunity you can! Explore Barcelona, participate in CEA CAPA activities, meet new people, and push yourself outside of your comfort zone. The semester goes by so fast, so make the most of every moment.
Pros
  • Great cultural activities and excursions
  • Supportive and helpful CEA CAPA staff
  • Freedom to explore and experience Barcelona independently
What other participants should know
  • The semester goes by way too fast
  • It can be expensive, especially with travel
  • Adjusting to living in a new country can be overwhelming at first

London Abroad

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!

What was your funniest moment?
I accidentally feel asleep on the train and was on it all the way until it terminated. I woke up in a place I'd never been too, and on top of that my phone was dead! But, honestly, I stuck around and explored where I had ended up and it was a really fun and beautiful place. Though, safe to say when I made it home my roommates were pretty confused on where I had been. Funny story and made for an unexpected fun experience, though!
Pros
  • So much to see!
  • Lots of accessible transportation
  • Easily can fly to different places!
What other participants should know
  • Sometimes pricey
  • New environment
  • Homesick
