CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Prague, Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is beautiful, and I'm glad I decided to visit this summer. The city is decorated with amazing architecture, and walking through Old Town Square felt like a medieval town. Venture outside of the city center and there are a lot of great places to explore and sometimes relax in, including Petrin Hill, Vrtba Gardens, the Grotto, Prague Zoo, Loreta, and more. However it was sometimes difficult for me to sleep at night. This will depend on which district you stay in, but I was in Prague 1, where the apartment was above two bars, and it was often noisy at night with many drunk people. It sometimes left me in a bad mood, but aside from sleeping troubles, my overall experience was very good! There is a lot to do in the city and the country in eight weeks.

CEA CAPA was such a good program to go abroad with. I have study abroad twice and the second time I went with CEA CAPA. As a program they make sure you have everything you need before you go and when you get there. They are constantly checking in and helping you along the process before departure. While you are abroad they are there to support you. The housing was amazing in Prague, everything is so close together and with public transportation it is so easy to get around. The culture is beautiful the company is great!

My experience in Prague was great in so many ways. CEA CAPA made the application and moving process so much easier. I really appreciated that someone was available to help answer any of my questions 24/7. Housing was great and when I had any issue that needed fixed, I got a response right away and someone came to fix it right away.
The excursions included in my program were also fantastic. They were educational and fun.
CEA CAPA holds a meeting within the first week of getting to the country you chose to study. They make sure you need everything to be safe, access public transportation, can navigate the schools, and are able to access all the resources you need. I really appreciated all of their help and communication.

Studying abroad through CEA CAPA in Prague was the best decision I ever made. I was able to fully immerse myself in Czech culture by trying new foods, exploring Prague, and learning about the history of the city. The city had so much to offer from its beautiful architecture and art to its distinct food and drink culture. I was also able to meet so many other study abroad students through CEA CAPA some of who I know will be lifelong friends!! Also the classes I took allowed for me to learn so much about Czech culture and history.

This was my first time traveling within Europe, and I am glad I did it through CEA Capa. The academic aspect of the program was very manageable, so I was able to have fun and explore while receiving a good quality education. There were a lot of activities offered through CEA Capa that were covered by the program fees, and I never regretted attending the ones that I did. The housing I was provided was also very spacious, and even while living in a triple, I felt like I had enough personal space. The staff is very accommodating, so whatever issues I have faced were solved immediately! Overall, my experience was exceptional, and I am already planning the possibility of studying abroad again.

I spent 4 months in spring of 2024 studying abroad in Prague! While abroad, the classes I took both with CEA and my Prague university, were incredibly engaging and interesting. The classes are the right amount of difficult, so you won't be spending endless long nights studying, but still feel like you are learning new information. The staff was so sweet and always available to help whenever you needed anything. The various trips CEA provided during the program were some of my favorite parts of my study abroad experience. The city is full of incredible architecture and history. The public transportation can be confusing at first, but is easy to learn quickly. Studying abroad I was able to gain a new sense of independence. I cooked meals for myself every week, and I made a budget for groceries, activities, and trips.

I studied abroad this past summer in Prague through CEA CAPA, and I can whole-heartedly share that it was the best 8 weeks of my life!! Being able to grow my academic, professional, and personal development during my time abroad taught me lessons that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I took two courses through CEA CAPA and my home university (UMich), and I was still able to travel to over 10 different European cities. If you are thinking about studying abroad, CEA CAPA's program in Prague is outstanding!

Living in Prague for 8 weeks was a lifetime experience. I didn't think I was going to be able to afford the program but with financial aid and scholarships. There I set a specific budget for everyday things, touristy things, and travel money. I learned to cook for myself every day and would go to the corner store about twice a week. The lady after 6 weeks finally warmed up a little. It was very affordable, only about 20 dollars per week for food. And since I took care of my expenses so much I was able to add a last-minute travel plan to Croatia, which made it all worth it.
