Best four months I could have ever asked for
by: Katie Reif - United StatesProgram: CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Alicante, SpainWhile deciding on where to study abroad, I knew I wanted to be in Spain and be close to the ocean. After researching cities, Alicante seemed to be the perfect place, and it absolutely was. It was a smaller city with everything in walking distance. CEA made my study abroad experience so smooth and easy. With their detailed pre-departure list, reminders, and deadlines, preparing to leave was not as stressful as I thought it would be. I decided to live in an apartment, and I was matched with a roommate who is now one of my best friends. Our apartment was older and could have used some love, but it was perfectly and conveniently located- only a couple blocks walk from El Barrio (restaurants and bars), the beach, and the train station for class. While on site, our CEA specialists became our family away from home. They cared about us students as if we were their own children, and they encouraged us to travel, take part in local activities, and immerse ourself in the culture. CEA had amazing activities planned for us such as an overnight trip to Granada, wine tasting, hikes, cooking classes, and a day trip to the island of Tabarca. When I got a small stomach bug, the on site CEA employee Adriana came to the doctor with me and checked in on me every day until I was feeling better. At the end of the program, CEA offered internship and ambassador programs to continue our involvement with CEA, studying abroad, and the international community even when we came back to America.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and thorough review as well as your kind words about the CEA staff and program, Katie! We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful time with CEA in beautiful Alicante, and your detailed review will help serve as a guide for future students researching their own study abroad programs. We hope you’ll stop by and say hello the next time you find yourself in Spain, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
Loved every day!
by: Thania Inoa - Dominican RepublicProgram: CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Alicante, SpainI knew that I wanted a small city where i could emerge myself in the culture. I was able to do that In Alicante. All the excursions planned by CEA were perfect. I learned so much. My favorite excursion was a weekend trip to Granada. It was amazing. I was able to learn so much about Spain while living there. I love every day, it was a new adventure and it felt like a dream.

Thank you for your review, Thania! We are thrilled to hear you had an amazing time in Alicante with CEA, and we’re so appreciative of all your contributions as a MOJO Photographer. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and be sure to stop by and say hello the next time you find yourself in Spain!


Stand where you are!
by: Benjamin Shoemaker - United StatesProgram: CEA CAPA Education Abroad in Alicante, SpainAlicante overall was an impulsive experience. The opportunities were countless and the people were overwhelmingly engaging. A great example of this was the Alicante Talk Show. In a spur of randomoscity, we were asked while simply eating lunch if a friend and I would like to be part of a talk show there on campus. We were both incredibly hesitant, being only average Spanish speakers, but impulsively decided to see what lied behind door number one and go for it! We then absolutely failed... but in the process made some incredible friends and stirred up at least a little amusement for any listeners that may have been tuned in. The incredible adventures in Alicante truly are around every corner, and if you aren't standing where you are and seeing what your eyes are looking at, you're going to miss climbing castles (literally), getting free food for being tall, discovering how poorly you can dance with domestic students, or seeing the most incredible sunrise on a pier that was definitely not made for tourists. These is not a place for just any adventurer, it's one for you.

Thank you for your review, Ben! We are glad you took advantage of spur-of-the-moment opportunities that made your time in Alicante so memorable. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and be sure to stop by and say “hola” the next time you’re in Spain!
