Hello everyone! My name is Elizabeth and I just completed my CEA program. Studying abroad in the Netherlands was a wonderful experience, in which I explored many beautiful places. Also, I was able to meet amazing people from different backgrounds and make tons of connections. The Summer in Amsterdam program by CEA was an excellent opportunity for me to travel and study at the same time. This experience has provided me with many memories and brought people into my life. One thing that I wished I did was research more about my host country before going, that would've helped me a lot throughout my stay. Still, it was a beautiful experience.

Pros

Meeting new people.
Exploring.
Traveled to other countries in Europe.

Cons

Homesickness.
Cost of living.
Reverse culture shock.

I had an amazing experience studying abroad in Amsterdam. I learned about Dutch culture. There were many adventures. Overall CEA did an amazing job. They did housing, and day trips and they got me a bike. It made my transition so much easier. There were orientation events to help me meet people within my program as well as through the school. Within the first week, my CEA group got a tour through the city and we learned how to use the bike paths before having to do it ourselves as well. Also for people who want to travel events planned through CEA were so much fun but they were not mandatory so if I wanted to do something on my own there were no issues with it. The safety app they made us download helped me to feel safe no matter which country I traveled to. If I were to study abroad again I would 100% go with CEA.

Pros

Central Location for Traveling
Beautiful
So many things to do

Cons

none!

Response from CEA CAPA Education Abroad
