CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Florence, Italy

Studying abroad with CEA Capa in Florence was one of the best decisions I have made! Prior to departure, CEA Capa staff were always willing to help with any questions I had. They did an amazing job finding us our housing in the perfect location and great amenities. There were always activities to do around the city that were organized by CEA Capa and the classes were all so interesting and fun. I learned so much about Italian culture that I never would have without these classes.

I had an amazing time, thanks to CEA CAPA, in Florence, Italy. I stayed with a roommate in the cutest apartment ever, and me and 16 other Biomedical Engineering students from the University of Miami all studied together in a CEACAPA classroom. They set up the best trips and programs for us and were so helpful when we needed anything: from a doctor, to a restaurant recommendation, or knowing where the best running trails are. I now work with CEA CAPA as an ambassador, and my experience there has been great as well. If you are considering studying abroad, look into doing it with CEA CAPA!

Spending time abroad in Florence was genuinely a dream. My street, lined with charming cobblestones, became my home in a way I never expected. Every corner and store of that street holds memories I miss deeply, like the family who took me in as one of their own. They fed me, ate with me, and helped me translate when I needed a cab or help on my italian homework, those simple meals turned into life long memories. There was the bar down the street that by night, buzzed with laughter and new local friends. By day, it was a little refuge where I could have cappuccino with the owner before class. Florence was more than just a city; it became a home filled with people I miss deeply and experiences I will treasure for life. It left a mark on me that I’ll carry with me always.
