CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Barcelona, Spain

My son studied abroad in Barcelona through CEA CAPA, and while the experience overall was positive, the housing process was frustrating and unclear. He was charged $1,500 for a so-called "Shared Double Plus Room," which we later learned only meant a standard shared room with air conditioning - a feature not requested or used during the winter. The room itself was extremely small with beds pushed together and no real storage. Communication about housing upgrades was vague, and the responses I received never fully addressed our concerns. I hope CEA CAPA improves transparency around housing options and fees for future families.

CEA Capa's program in Barcelona, Spain was very meaningful and memorable. The program helped me immerse myself into the culture of Spain through excursions and activities while helping me progress academically. I am thankful for the experiences CEA CAPA has given me and for all of the lessons and friends I made along the way.

Studying abroad with CEA CAPA has changed my life. The cultural differences that I experienced really opened my eyes to so much more. I felt that the staff at CEA CAPA were extremely helpful in all aspects. They made the transition to Barcelona very smooth and exciting. They also coordinated many different programs and activities for us to take part in that were so fun and different than anything I would have done in the United States. The education was also great. I really enjoyed my class about Spanish Civilization and Culture. We explored Barcelona and learned about its history. This made my experience even more amazing! I could talk for hours about how much I loved my experience with CEA CAPA in Barcelona and I would highly recommend it to everyone!
