CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Barcelona, Spain

Would highly recommend this program. There are many activities within the program included that help you immerse into the culture and even go on trips (Madrid, Pyrenees mountains). Everything is very well-organized and the staff/professors are super kind and helpful. I also was on a team for the study abroad soccer league which was really fun. The classes are engaging and help you learn more about your host city, but are not too demanding so you still have time to travel and explore. Housing was very close to campus and in a good neighborhood. Definitely would recommend for college students.

I loved studying in Barcelona and CEA CAPA was a great program to go through. The study center was located in the direct center of the city which made it easy and fun to travel to classes. It was also great because there was always something going on, whether it was a cooking class or a tour of the city, there were endless possibilities to integrate yourself into the Spanish culture. Another great thing about studying in Barcelona was the various amounts of scenery. The beach being so close, as well as the mountains with the city in the middle made endless possibilities for exploring.

I absolutely loved my time spent in Barcelona with CEA CAPA. The courses I took were engaging, the various trips were fun and informational, and the memories I made will last a lifetime. The best part for me was my host family. CEA CAPA connected me with the best family ever: they looked out for me, provided support, gave recommendations, and had me try various Spanish and Catalan dishes I wouldn't have tried without them. The staff were also amazing. When I had my passport stolen (do not recommend) the staff were up and ready to help me file police reports, going to the embassy, and making sure I had what I needed to get a new one. There was not a moment where I felt alone or stranded when I was abroad. I genuinely recommend studying abroad with them!

Studying abroad in Barcelona with CEA CAPA was an unforgettable experience that combined academics, culture, and adventure. The program gave me engaging courses with knowledgeable faculty, real-world learning opportunities, and cultural immersion through site visits and excursions. There are so many fun things to do like strolling through Las Ramblas, having tapas on the beach, or visiting popular museums. If you're looking for a transformative, immersive study abroad experience, Barcelona is the place to be!

I had an excellent semester in Barcelona, Spain. The city really had it all: beautiful architecture, amazing food, and warm weather. It was a perfect blend of bustling city and outdoor experiences; it's an international destination with people visiting from all over the world and there were so many beaches, parks, and places to explore.

I'm so glad I went with CEA Capa because the program and staff was supportive and educational. I enjoyed my classes. I learned about the history and culture of Spain and then got to see it in real life, it helped with my adjustment and made the learning experience much more meaningful. CEA also offered tons of student activities to get involved and meet other abroad students as well as locals.

I couldn’t have seen myself in any other study abroad program. CEA CAPA is amazing! So much support, so much fun, and such an enriching experience. The opportunity with CEA CAPA is never-ending. Throughout my time, from start to finish, CEA CAPA was there for me and my friends. Helped me create memories to last a lifetime and meet people I can continue life with. I recommend it to anyone and everyone, especially if they are nervous because so was I! Everyone I know who went through CEA CAPA loved it.

I can't recommend this program to students enough! I studied abroad in Barcelona over the summer of 2024 and the experience is something I'll cherish forever. Not only did the faculty/staff make the experience as welcoming as possible, the courses I was enrolled in also taught me so much, and I often found myself connecting what I was learning in class to my everyday life. I also met some great girls in this program and fell in love with a city I've dreamed of visiting for years. 10/10 experience!

I loved my time studying abroad, and I think it is an experience everyone should have! Barcelona was the perfect city, with its amazing diversity of things to do, the beautiful architecture everywhere and the beach right there! CEA CAPA made this experience was it was with great classes that were also fun and allowed us to see and learn about the city at the same time. We also had opportunities to see the city, such as attending a FC Barcelona game, and so many other great activities that immersed us in the culture.
