CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Sydney, Australia

I loved my experience studying abroad with CEA CAPA in Sydney. We stayed in student apartments in Scape Darling Square which was a great location, full of young and social people. A huge plus was our Opal Card that we were given by CAPA. It allowed us to travel for free on ferry's and trains allowing us to explore along the east coast and have easy access to beaches, museums, parks and shops. The professors were very kind and encouraging that we get to know the area and allowed a good school to fun balance. If I could choose where to study again and who to study with I would go to Sydney with CEA CAPA all over again.

My program was based all around wellness in Australia. The entire trip was filled of fun and educational adventures in various locations to learn about the differences in how they live compared to the United States. I was able to go hiking in the Blue Mountains, snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef, and went on hiking trails with aboriginal history all for the class I was taking. We reflected on all the adventures we went on and it taught us how to appreciate little things and live in the moment.

I studied abroad through CEA CAPA in Sydney, Australia for a 10-week trimester. As someone who had never traveled much outside of the country (let alone to the other side of the world coming from New York), this was such an eye-opening experience that gave me fresh insights into a diverse culture. The combination of pursuing my academic endeavors in the classroom and immersing myself into the Sydney landscape through program events and travel opportunities was an experience I will never forget.

Going abroad with CEA CAPA was amazing. I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the bustle of a major global city and experience the diverse Australian culture. The flexible class schedule also allowed me to travel almost every week to incredible destinations I would have never otherwise had the chance to visit. Exploring the city of Sydney itself was also made fun and easy with class field trips to destinations, and through the program's providing students a public transit card that allowed us to use it for free!

The CEA CAPA team in Sydney, Australia was -- to put it simply -- incredible. From the moment students stepped off their planes to our sad goodbyes, the staff made themselves incredibly available and helpful to each and every student in the program. I was nervous to come to Sydney because it was so far away and I was going alone, but the staff did a wonderful job at helping me to create a community that made me feel secure and confident, and I can't thank them enough for that! I hope to visit again soon!

I spent about three weeks in Australia and it was the best time I ever had. I did things I didn't think I would do in a million years, like, swimming in the Great Barrier Reef or even petting a kangaroo! While getting out of my comfort zone, I met a lot of amazing people along the way. The trip was very memorable for me. Along with this, I was also studying something that I am passionate about, health and wellness, earning 6 upper-level college credits. I would definitely recommend this program to students that want to go abroad.

Studying with CEA CAPA in Sydney was life-changing! The staff and educators were incredibly accomplished and supportive, genuinely caring about your well-being and satisfaction. They foster success academically, professionally, and personally. What stood out most was their encouragement of my backpacking adventures, instilling confidence to prioritize personal growth alongside academics.

Additionally, Syndey is a gorgeous city!! All of Australia's unique scenery and vibrant livelihood make it an incredibly fun and inspiring place. For a supportive and enriching experience there, I wholeheartedly recommend CEA CAPA.

I had the incredible opportunity to spend two weeks in the vibrant heart of Sydney, immersing myself in the bustling city life, surrounded by iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Every day felt like a new adventure as I explored the city's rich culture, enjoying its cafés, shops, and the lively beach scene. From catching waves at Bondi Beach to strolling through the picturesque parks, I embraced the surf, the sand, and the sunny skies almost daily.

After my time in Sydney, I embarked on a journey to the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef. Being at the heart of the sea was a surreal experience—crystal clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and the diverse marine life surrounding me felt like stepping into another world. Snorkeling and exploring the reef was not only awe-inspiring but also a humbling reminder of the beauty and fragility of our planet.

Beyond the sights and adventures, one of the most meaningful parts of this trip was the connections I made. I forged lifelong friendships with people who shared this journey with me. From spontaneous conversations to deep, late-night talks, we created memories that I will treasure forever. These friendships, built on shared experiences and laughter, became the heart of my trip. Looking back, these moments—both big and small—make me hope I never forget a single detail of this incredible adventure.
