CEA French Riviera

I was nervous going into this program, because Antibes is a small city and a unique location for study abroad, but I could't be happier that I chose CEA French Riviera. As soon as I got off the van in Antibes, I fell in love with beauty of the city. It's big enough to have all the amenities you would want: restaurants, bars, even a couple of museums, but it's small enough that you can walk anywhere, feel like part of the community, and easily explore without feeling overwhelmed. That why Im happy I chose Antibes over a big city; while a bustling city like London or Paris is amazing to visit, Antibes is a much nicer place to live. The staff at CEA were extremely helpful with any questions and concerns I had. They had an orientation in the beginning that made it easy to get to know everyone, and free excursions throughout the semester where we could participate in fun and unique activities as a group, like perfume making in Grasse and a three course pasta lunch in northern Italy. Overall I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to study abroad, especially those who are looking for a small city and want to travel while abroad.
