Best Decision Ever!
August 01, 2024by: Logan Warren - United StatesProgram: CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Aix-en-Provence, FranceMy time in Aix-en-Provence was the best decision I have ever made. I got hands-on experience with the french language and massively improved my skills. The semester abroad was also a great chance for me to be independent and practice the skills needed to live alone.
I had the time of my life!
January 01, 2020by: Rohanna Foote - United StatesProgram: CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Aix-en-Provence, FranceStudying abroad in Southern France this past summer was by far the best experience of my life! Though I was there for 6 weeks, I knew that time would go by quickly and I would need to take in every second of it. I visited museums, historical sites, and signed up for anything that I could that would help me to experience the local culture. Studying abroad with CEA in particular was great because they made transitioning so effortless. When you get there, they discuss rules, places you should visit, how to get around, what to expect while you are abroad, and much more. Our on cite-specialists truly did become our parents for the 6 weeks we were there and the people I studied abroad with were my new family. Overall, I can confidently say that studying abroad has helped to grow my cultural footprint, and has made me a more open and healthy well-rounded individual. In those 6 weeks, I was able to interact and work with people from other countries, understand the layers and intricacy of global issues, and have greater intercultural learning. I believe that those are things that are learned through practice and experience. Because of how meaningful my experience abroad was, I am currently working towards moving and starting a career in France.
Thank you for your review, Rohanna! We are so glad to hear you had a wonderful semester with CEA in Aix. “Studying abroad has helped to grow my cultural footprint” is music to our ears. We hope you’ll stop by and say “bonjour” the next time you find yourself in France (perhaps on your career path there!), and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
Immersion truly enhances learning
June 06, 2019by: Jasmine Brandt - United StatesProgram: CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Aix-en-Provence, FranceI thoroughly enjoyed my semester abroad. While the classes that I took unfortunately were not the best (my professor was very kind but he rambled on and on, so I listened a lot but did not get a change to improve my speaking that way), what truly helped my language level improve was by immersing myself in the community. I found a facebook page for babysitters and nounous in aix en Provence and I got a few babysitting jobs, all in French. Those few hours a week speaking to the kids and families were more worthwhile than my time spent in the classroom. Also my conversations with my host mom were invaluable in the long run and I saw my progress improve over the course of the semester.
Thank you for your review, Jasmine. We are glad you had a positive experience abroad and took advantage of language and cultural immersion opportunities. We always look to improve our programs, so if there are any further suggestions you would like to add to provide the best Aix-perience possible, please reach out to us. We wish you the best!
