I studied abroad in Sydney, Australia during the fall semester of 2019 and loved it! I took a few interesting classes at the CAPA center and had wonderful professors that enjoyed helping students and really cared about ensuring that our study abroad experience

gave us enough time to enjoy the new country we were in as well! The city of Sydney itself was beautiful and featured easy transportation since CAPA paid for our transportation. The excursions that we went on were amazing, from a hike in the blue mountains with an energetic tour-guide to an overnight stay at the Toronga zoo where we got to see nocturnal animals at night and even feed giraffes their breakfast! A unique aspect of CAPA is the ability to also participate in an internship while abroad in addition to taking normal classes in a classroom. I enjoyed it thoroughly because I was able to network with my employer there, improve my sparse resume, and learn information necessary to my future career once I graduate. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking for an incredible adventure where they can experience another country's culture, improve their resume, and become more independent!

I was so nervous about studying abroad. It always been something that I wanted to do but for some reason I couldn't commit to it. I ended up finding this CAPA program through my university's study abroad office. It had everything I was looking for in

a program and was in a city I have always wanted to go to. CAPA did an excellent job of allowing me to explore and be my own person while also providing me with opportunities to explore with the program. I felt completely safe and content knowing that CAPA was always there if I needed them. Studying abroad helped me to become more independent and not be afraid to go after the things I want. If I wasn't graduating I would study abroad with CAPA again in a heartbeat!

Going to Sydney allowed me to become more independent. As a commuter, I had never really been away from home prior to this experience. I was able to push myself outside of my comfort zone and make incredible memories while gaining experience for my

resume!

very manageable classes. most of my "academic" time was spent on my internship. Everyone with CAPA and my school quick to answer questions and guide us. The apartment I lived in was great as far as space and location go, however I did not feel

that I was very compatible with my roommates. the food in Sydney was so yummy. CAPA provided a lot of snacks and many events which included feeding up delicious food. my internship helped a lot to meet locals! My friends and i also went to community events which enables us to meet people who were local. I never felt unsafe. the cost of living was very high in Sydney! Going to Sydney allowed me to become more independent. As a commuter, I had never really been away from home prior to this experience. I was able to push myself outside of my comfort zone and make incredible memories while gaining experience for my resume! I learned travel skills, cultural competency, how to live on my own, how to deal with homesickness, how to make new friends, and most importantly pushed myself outside my comfort zone several times. not many improvements to be made. My internship was not exactly what I expected, but it still looked good on paper.
