CEA CAPA Education Abroad Reviews

My internship abroad couldn't have been more exciting. Through the CAPA program, I was able to travel to the number one city on my bucket list and partake in my dream internship. Work/life balance was perfect — I had plenty of time to travel and explore London and Europe while receiving a great experience professionally and academically. I met some of my best friends through the program and lived in one of the coolest parts of London. If I hadn't gone through CAPA, there is no way I would've been able to have the experience I did. I was able to experience so many things from new foods, West End shows, football matches at Wembley and so much more. I am now considering working abroad after graduation because I loved it so much! I 100% would recommend this program for anyone considering an internship abroad.

I was apart of a faculty lead program that was hosted by CAPA. CAPA allowed us to use their space, set up housing for us and took us to My Global City events and excursions outside Florence. We were able to meet a lot, if not all, of the CAPA Florence staff who were extremely helpful when it came to recommending places to eat, have fun and site see. They gave us a tour of the city and a training session that taught us what to look out for in terms of safety. Everyone was very nice, the facility was beautiful and the excursions to other cities was so much fun. I gained a lot of knowledge and saw so much of Florence I probably wouldn't have seen without CAPA's help. Our housing was very nice. It was an apartment on the quieter side of the Arno River and it had very nice amenities such as a full kitchen, a TV, wifi and cooking appliances.

CEA Buenos Aires was the best experience of my life! I could not have asked for a better semester abroad. From the city to the food to the academics everything was absolutely perfect and I would not change a thing. Most of all, the advisors, Jose and Julieta were phenomenal. From lost phones, to activities, our advisors were always there for us. They are two of the best people I met in Buenos Aires, and we still keep in touch regularly. The classes were very unique and informative. I would never take classes like those back in the states. We were extremely culturally immersed and each class had a field trip through the city at least twice a month which was great to see parts of the city through an academic lens. I would recommend this trip to anyone seeking adventure and an out of the box study abroad experience!

I studied abroad in Dublin through the UF in Dublin program through the CAPA Program. I would recommend this program to anyone. I got the opportunity to have an internship abroad, take classes at UF and in Dublin, and got to be immersed in the culture. This program lets you have the opportunity to see the everyday life of a local, partake in weekly festivals, and travel Europe at such an affordable cost. CAPA had an amazing amount of workers abroad that were so friendly and there for me at all times. They gave us weekly newsletters letting us know what was going on around the city while also having us get the chance to see the Gaelic football stadium of Dublin. Our entire program went to a game and it was an amazing experience. I would 100% recommend this program to anyone.

I really enjoyed my time with CAPA in Dublin. During the application process, they were really hands on and worked one on one with me to make sure I was not confused. The only issue I had was that it took a long time for my internship placement. I did not have my placement until the week that I left for Ireland. Other than that, it was all good. I ended up loving my internship at a water-sports company doing social media and marketing. I loved the Global Cities class and loved learning the history of Dublin while exploring it as well. I feel confident that my experience interning will give me that little extra on my resume. They took us to Belfast which was amazing. I also had plenty of time to travel all over Ireland and Scotland as well. I would recommend this program to someone who wants to both study and intern abroad.

My studying abroad experience with CAPA was amazing they had several activities planned for us throughout our trip all of them helped us get immersed into the culture. We had many activities planned for us throughout the city like hikes and tours to get immersed in the culture and history of the beautiful city that is Florence. The people at the CAPA center in Florence were amazing as well because they helped us in anything that we needed whenever we needed. Another thing I love is that CAPA also offers opportunities like internships as well which I think is a great opportunity to get a feel for your career and what better than in Florence, Italy! Overall I was more than satisfied with my study abroad experience and I welcome anyone interested to travel with CAPA.

My time abroad studying with CAPA in London was an amazing experience that I will never forget. From the academics that gave an amazing global perspective, my internship that helped me realize more of my strengths within my field, and the CAPA sponsored events throughout the program I had an amazing time that really helped me grow.

From even before you get there CAPA staff helps you throughout the whole process and makes it a lot easier to have all paperwork in and deadlines met. When it came to getting placed in my internship, the CAPA internship team was very thorough in their questioning and interviews to make sure that they could give me the best fit for my interests.

My internship was a huge part of why I loved the CAPA program so much. In my internship I was able to gain valuable market research skills that I would never be able to gain from just the classroom. It was an amazing opportunity to work in an international office to get used to being in a professional environment with an additional perk of learning how to work abroad and with different cultures. The classes that I took complimented my amazing experience by offering programs that took me all around the beautiful city of London and gave me a more in-depth look to their history and the diverse people that live there.

The CAPA sponsored events were also really fun because they took you to different areas in England along with giving you opportunities to take different types of tours and enjoying different types of food all around London.

I loved my study abroad experience, and it was definitely worthwhile. I gained experience working internationally and was able to complete a certificate in international business through my home university. CAPA really is supportive of students - they want you to take classes that help with your major, gain experience in your field, and study in a city brand new to you. Because city transportation was included with CAPA, I was really able to explore the city as much as I wanted to! I became more independent, confident, and learned how to navigate through a city! It was 100% worth every minute and I truly have nothing negative to say about my experience. Overall I highly recommend this program, not just for the great housing, academic classes, extra excursions, but also for the internship opportunity.

Who would have thought I would ever study abroad? Considering that I am first generation college student and I am living on my own since the age of 18, this idea seamed like an illusion mainly so because of the cost. I used to think studying abroad was for a few selected, lucky people, however, CAPA made this dream come true at a very, very affordable cost. The program I went with was faculty-led semester abroad, meaning that professors from my campus came along with us, making us feel safer. The program made every possible effort to locate our apartments at a reasonable distance from our classes. CAPA provided transportation cards, housing, covered insurance and flights. The only thing I would care for would be food and individual trips. While abroad, the staff located in the city made sure that we also had fun connecting us to local weekend events, My Global City excursions and visits to museums to enhance our learning. The program made a great effort to provide classes that are transferable and can in some way benefit from this trip. For example, I was taking Travel Writing, which fit perfect! I got to make my own book with my experiences, emotions, and travels. Students, I would really recommend studying abroad with CAPA.

This is an amazing opportunity! If you have the chance, I highly recommend taking advantage of this great adventure! Having done another program in the past, I can honestly say this program has so much more to offer than other study abroad programs. I chose to complete an internship while also taking courses. If your worried about your time, you definitely do have to manage your time well but it's definitely worth. I managed my time and was able to explore the city, make great friends, and have a life changing experience!!
Sydney is an amazingly vibrant and exciting city. Because of its proximity to South East Asia this place is a dream for foodies!! So many options and endless parts of the city to explore. My favorite part of maybe the whole thing was living in a city that was so close to the beach. It was so easy to go from classes or my internships to a great beach day with friends!
