Program Reviews

I really enjoyed my program. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I enjoyed all of our excursions around Ireland. The city was very walkable, and there was so much to do. The environment was laid-back, and there wasn't a lot of judgment or standards from the locals. The excursions around Ireland were amazing. I wish I could see more. My internship there was the best. My supervisor remains in contact with me and serves as my primary point of reference for future job applications. I wish my time there were longer than it was.

I recently completed a study abroad program in Madrid, Spain, focusing on International Management and Art, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the vibrant culture, lively streets, and the incredible food. It truly feels like the city comes alive at every corner.

The courses were engaging and challenging, and I especially loved the art classes, which gave me a new perspective on Spanish history and creativity. International Management classes provided practical insights, and the professors were knowledgeable and approachable. There were moments when navigating the academic and cultural differences felt a bit challenging, but I quickly adapted and even found these challenges rewarding; they pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow.

While there were a few minor inconveniences with staff communication, they were always willing to help when approached, and overall, the support was excellent. Weekend trips with fellow students were definitely a highlight. I’ll never forget exploring hidden neighborhoods, local markets, and historic sites that made Madrid feel both grand and intimate at the same time.

For anyone considering studying abroad in Spain, this program offers a great balance of academics, culture, and personal growth. My advice: embrace the differences, try everything, even if it feels unfamiliar, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. The city, the classes, and the people made this an experience I’ll always treasure.

Studying abroad in London with CEA CAPA was truly one of the best experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, the program was organized and supportive, which made adjusting to a new country so much easier. I had the chance to explore one of the most exciting cities in the world while also continuing my studies. What really set this program apart was the opportunity to intern. Having professional experience in an international setting not only gave me valuable skills but also boosted my confidence and helped me grow both personally and academically. I made great friends, connected with mentors, and learned how to adapt in a global environment. Looking back, I am so grateful I chose this program and would recommend it to any student who wants to combine travel, education, and career development into one unforgettable experience.

After studying in Barcelona, I look back and there is no other place I would have wanted to go! The culture and diversity was beyond imagine, making it comfortable and easy to adjust. The city was lively with unlimited attractions and activities -- from tourist attractions to simple navigation, it was perfect. CEA CAPA was also super helpful in providing opportunities to explore the city, from vineyards to Barca games. I would recommend this program and city to anyone who loves lively and diverse cities!

I had a great time in Madrid at UC3M. The academic rigor balanced with the amazing city of Madrid made this an especially great experience. This was my first time in Europe and Madrid was the perfect city for me. Its central location in Spain made travel within the country a breeze. My house's close proximity to the airport made air travel just as easy. On the academic side, my experience at UC3M was great, it wasn't the easiest place to get to but it was certainly a good school. Would highly recommend this program.

Overall, my semester in Aix was simply incredible. Living there truly changed my life for the better.
I grew both personally and academically, explored Europe, and immersed myself in French culture.
What made the experience even more unforgettable was the lifelong friendships I built along the way, which made every adventure even more meaningful. I talk to my friends from Aix daily, even when we all go to different schools. If I could, I would go back and do this experience a million times over.

I had a great experience studying abroad this summer in Madrid. I was able to take Calculus 3 as well as a Spanish Civilization course. In my Spanish Civilization course we went on a bunch of field trips around the city and I learned so much about Spanish history and had so much fun. I travelled to several different cities in Spain and everyone I met in Spain was super nice. I also got the opportunity to travel to other countries on the weekends and met so many people both from my university and others.

Studying abroad in Rome was one of my highlights of college so far. I had never been to Europe or ever really traveled outside of the country so the entirety of this experience was new to me. I got to live in a beautiful apartment with my four best friends and we traveled almost every weekend. We got to go for a helicopter ride in Switzerland, ride camels in Morocco, visit the Eiffel tower, swim in the blue lagoon in Malta, boat around the Amalfi coast, and make many more incredible memories together.

I studied abroad with CEA CAPA in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the spring 2025 semester. I study industrial engineering as well as Spanish, so the program was a perfect fit for me. I took engineering electives such as linear algebra, international business, and data visualization, as well as a Spanish class. I also had the chance to take my own independent study class through my university through doing volunteer work and using my spanish speaking skills. The staff at CEA were incredibly helpful and very friendly, whenever I had a problem or needed help I was able to reach out to them. Buenos Aires is an amazing city, and I recommend that anyone visit or live there, coming from someone who wouldn't even consider myself a "city" person. There is always something fun to do, and public transit is very accessible, as well as the city is safe.

Studying Abroad in Madrid was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The adventures I went on in the amazing city of Madrid, food I tried, excursions I went on. I was able to experience things that I never thought I would ever be able to do. The most amazing part though was the people. There are truly no words I could write to truly describe all the amazing people I met and they are from all over the world! There will forever be a special place in my heart for this city and even more those people!
