Study Abroad in Prague

Studying abroad in Prague was one of the most enriching experiences and the support from the CEA CAPA staff was amazing. My process before and during my experience was support 100% of the way. The program allowed me to be apart of the city and gain many different experiences in school and out of school. I engrossed myself into the culture whether it was the language or the food. I explored many different parts of the city which were all wonderful and safe. There was always transportation and a sense of ease when in the city.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The most surprising the thing I did was learning the language and being apart of the culture. I challenged myself to be apart of the city and my experience benefited significantly from this. This allowed me to learn the city and its people. Being a continuous learner was the best part of my time abroad.

  • Transportation

Fall 2025 - Prague Abroad

My experience abroad was an unforgettable one. I had a great time in Prague and felt very safe while I was there. I found CEA CAPA staff to be really helpful and supportive throughout the time abroad, especially when I had issues with housing. Although my apartment was nice, there was a point where my roommates and I had no hot water for four days. We also had some drainage issues, broken/stuck windows, and issues with the heat not working, but when we contacted staff they were helpful in trying to get these issues resolved. The apartment complex was an old building, so these problems were understandable yet inconvenient. I made a lot of amazing friends and got to study with people from all around the world, gaining new perspectives. I became friends with people from different parts of the country too. Being abroad was also nice because I had a lot less commitments than at my home university, giving me opportunity to explore new places and hobbies. I've become really close friends with some of the people from the University Delaware who went abroad which was a major benefit. I also experienced the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day, which was a beautiful holiday to witness. I also got to go to many concerts and other events in Prague. Overall, it was a freeing experience because I had more time to myself, more time with my friends, and less stress than the normal semester. On top of that, Prague is a wonderful city, and I would recommend traveling there.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-racking moment was solo traveling to a town outside of Prague called Karlovy Vary. This was the first time I'd ever traveled alone, and it was nerve-racking for many reasons. I mean I don't speak Czech, I'm by myself, it was my first Flix bus ride, I was staying in hotel room alone (an hour walk away from the main town - had to use local transit), and finally, it's a spa town and I'd never even been to a spa before. I honestly overcame it by just going on the trip. I know being a tourist can be uncomfortable, but by accepting the fact that you are a visitor and by being mindful of your actions, it's not as scary. I was able to just observe and take in my surroundings a lot while also being cautious as a young female traveler. I loved solo traveling and would do it again. This specific experience was both challenging and rewarding at the same time.
Pros
  • Meeting new people/learning new perspectives
  • Socializing (concerts, events, dinners, etc.)
  • Experiencing a national holiday
Cons
  • Got very sick multiple times (Covid, common cold & the flu)
  • Had housing issues (water, heat, etc.)
  • Struggled adapting to food options

Prague Summer 2025

I had the most fun this past summer in Prague. I lived in Prague 2, which was a bit outside the main city center, but I really enjoyed it because it allowed me to see a different side of the city and interact more with locals. Public transportation was easy to use, so I was able to explore a large part of the city. The school where we had class was conveniently located near the city as well. Prague is also one of the safest cities I have ever been in. I would recommend everyone to go to Prague I learned so much about art and history and I loved to see it in real life.

Amazing fall semester

My fall semester in Prague was amazing. CEA staff were so friendly, helpful, and supportive it made the transition to living in a new environment so much easier. Professors were knowledgable and interactive and made classes immersive within Prague. Prague as a city is one of a kind. The people, size, architecture, food, etc was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Pragues centrality made it easy to travel on some weekends while also having plenty to do within Prague. Overall my semester in Prague with CEA was spectacular and I would highly recommend.

Amazing Semester!

My fall semester abroad in Prague was an incredible and unforgettable experience. Living in such a historic and vibrant city allowed me to immerse myself in a new culture, explore different perspectives, and grow both personally and academically. I traveled throughout Europe, met people from all over the world, and gained a deeper appreciation for global connections. This semester pushed me outside my comfort zone and helped shape my independence and adaptability in meaningful ways. Overall, an amazing experience I will never forget!

Prague Fall 2025

I loved studying abroad in Prague! It was an awesome experience as I got to experience so many different and new things. I've always enjoyed traveling and being in Europe for a semester allowed me to visit so many different cities and countries (although Prague is definitely my favorite city!). I made amazing friends through the program who I am sure I will keep in contact for the rest of my university experience. I also loved the public transportation system. We lived right in front of about 3 tram stops and we could easily get anywhere by tram at any time. Trams are open 24/7 so even if you want to go out at night you don't have to worry about how to get back home as in other cities in Europe. I wouldn't change my experience for the world.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
One thing that I would change is not to be so nervous about the new city and environment in the beginning. I was nervous about the language being so different and not knowing anyone there apart from my friends from my university. However, everyone was extremely kind, welcoming and genuinely wanted to get to know you. I wish I had enjoyed more the experience of being uncomfortable within all the new things because that's what helps you grow as a person.
Pros
  • Transportation system
  • Beauty of the city
  • Language accessibility (everyone knows english)
Cons
  • Breaks for the university and CEA CAPA were different dates
  • A lot of people go in big groups of friends

Central Europe's Best Destination

Prague and the Czech Republic are right in the middle of the European continent. Students who are looking to travel have easy access to an airport and a train station that offers cheap travel options, but sometimes, for train rides especially, the travel time might be a bit long. For example, I had the chance to travel to Budapest, which is a very cheap sub $10 train ride, but I opted for a flight because the train was 7 hours. Traveling isn't only cheap out of the country, but it is also cheap inside the country. Transportation in the city is some of the best in the world, and it's super cheap as a student to travel by train. All of these options give great opportunities to travel and experience as much culture as possible.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice for future travelers traveling to Prague is not limit yourself to just the city of Prague. Czechia has so many beautiful places to visit, some of which will feature events hosted by CEA CAPA, but there are many locations you could also visit. I had the amazing opportunity to visit Bohemia Switzerland, which is in the northern part of the Czech Republic, on the southern border of Germany.
Pros
  • Not expensive
  • Lot's of thing to do in the city
  • Super safe at night
Cons
  • Local food can disappoint
  • Language is very hard to learn

Abroad in Prague

Prague was an amazing study abroad experience. I learned so much from the university, the CEA CAPA program, and about myself as a person. I was initially drawn to Prague for its historic and unique culture that I haven't found anywhere else. It felt like home when walking the streets and visiting attractions. It was a challenge to figure out transportation with the trams and the metro system to different parts of the city, but after a few weeks, you feel like a local and start to get the feel of where you are in the city. You start to explore what's beyond Prague and travel to other countries, which I highly recommend when studying abroad, especially in Prague, because it's pretty close and cheap to go in any direction. Overall, the program set me up for success along the entire way from getting documents for my Visa to hosting events in Prague and leaving the country safely.
