My time in London, England this past spring were some of the best moments of my life. The people I met, the places I saw, and all that I learned from living abroad were some of the greatest things I could have experienced. Living in a city like London was such a privilege as I had access to pretty much anything I wanted to do at my fingertips. The public transportation system, or as they call it the Tube, was super convenient as I took it to and from school each day. It got me anywhere I needed to and efficiently! The culture of the city was one of my favorite parts. The different boroughs made it seem like I was experiencing a whole new city each and every time. My personal favorite being Soho, specifically the West End, as I am a total theatre nerd. The program itself was great as they provided us with housing in areas accessible in both getting us to and from school as well as local amenities we may have needed. I lived in the borough of Islington and absolutely loved it! The neighborhood was very safe and there was so much to do just within walking distance of my flat! The classes were also super interesting and there was a great variety in what you could take. I also loved how in majority of classes we went on field visits and got to experience so much of the city outside of the classroom. One of my favorite field visits was going to see Shakespeare's "Macbeth" at the Globe with my class! The professors were also fantastic and I felt as though it was really easy to connect with them as they were all both approachable and personable. The thing that is so special about London is just how much there is to do and never getting over it. This city will always have a special place in my heart and I hope someday to go back and do it all over again!

I was already excited about my trip to London, but it absolutely exceeded my expectations. CEA CAPA was super accommodating and they had everything planned out for us during the trip. I loved the unique experiences that we had planned and we were able to get private tours from our wonderful guide Anthony and gained so much valuable information not just about the history of London and England, but about ourselves and traveling I made so many friends on this trip and memories to last a lifetime! I can't wait to go back!

I absolutely loved my experience with CEA CAPA and my study abroad program in London, England! I was able to not only study with professors from all over the world, but got to also have an internship doing accounting at the W Hotel in the heart of London. CEA CAPA offered many opportunities for me and my peers to be immersed in the English culture with day trips to places all around England and free opportunities to tour London staples such as seeing Wicked on the West End and touring Kensington Palace. I would highly recommend CEA CAPA to anyone who is interested in studying abroad!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have spent my first semester of college abroad in London with CEA CAPA. If I could relive the experience, I would do it over and over again. I truly cannot recommend it enough. CEA CAPA provided outstanding accommodations: my housing included a private bathroom, kitchen, and a modern living space shared with just one roommate. It was far more comfortable and updated than a typical college dorm. One of my favorite aspects of the program was the excursions, which were included at no additional cost. I had the chance to visit iconic sites like Stonehenge and the Roman Baths, attend soccer games and plays, and explore many other unique experiences around the UK.
London is an incredibly diverse and global city, and I was able to fully immerse myself in the culture. From the endless food options and museums to nightlife and local markets, there was always something new to discover. I’ll be returning to London this summer to study abroad again, a decision largely inspired by the incredible experience I had with CEA CAPA.

Blatantly put, I presumed it would be a quick adjustment for me. I had traveled to London previously and have traveled prior, so why wouldn't I have adjusted quickly? Well, anyone who has studied abroad knows that reality will hit you like a tube. Beyond all the change within my life, CEA CAPA was a place where I could almost forget about it all. I met individuals, whether peers or faculty, that were all extremely supportive and genuine people. Everyone is not just passionate about their role within education, but about London itself. I built a routine, even if it was just waving to reception when I walked through the door, and found a home away from home. It is a daunting adjustment at times, but I regret absolutely nothing. CEA CAPA played such a prominent role in my time abroad, and I look back so fondly at the connections I made with professors, mentors, and peers, along with the memories.

I went abroad with my University in connection to CEA CAPA for my first semester of college! Many would say this is bold move, but I can not understate how pivotal of an experience it was for me and for setting up the rest of my college experience. Being in London for your first semester, it is also a bootcamp for college and life. You are thrown into a new country, with new social standards, and customs. However, learning to embrace this and allowing yourself to be uncomfortable. This has gained me confidence in all aspects of my life!

I spent the first semester of my freshman year in London through CEA CAPA and wouldn't trade it for the world. I have always wanted to travel the world and this program allowed me to kickstart that dream at 18. Not only did I have the best time living in London where there was never a shortage of things to do, but I was also able to travel outside of the city thanks to the immense resources CEA CAPA provided. While the apartment I was living in was small to say the least, I quickly grew to love it and miss it to this day. During the first few days after landing, the changes seemed almost too much to handle but with time and help from CEA CAPA, I found myself loving everything about it within a week.

I had a wonderful experience with CEA CAPA. The staff on-site was extremely helpful. I felt very supported throughout my entire study abroad experience. Additionally, my professors were excellent. I learned so much and my classes were tailored to England and the British-experience. My professors provided all assignments with thorough feedback. We frequently went on field studies as a class and CEA CAPA provided weekend and afternoon activities. These activities allowed me to explore the city and England as a whole.
