My study abroad experience with CEA in Granada, Spain was truly unforgettable, fulfilling, and life-changing. I would recommend it to anyone looking into education abroad in Europe. Everything about the program was amazing! My site-specialist, the on-site

staff, and the professors were all so friendly and knowledgeable. I loved taking Spanish classes in Spain because my professors had such unique insights. I became more fluent in Spanish within 2 months than I ever have in the years I studied Spanish in the United States. Studying in the city of Granada was also just an added plus - it is so beautiful and unique. The program also includes amazing activities - a tour of the Alhambra, local flamenco shows, and excursions to Seville, Cordoba, and Morocco. CEA will also pair you with a wonderful host family if that's the housing option you choose! I could not be more thankful for my cute and talkative host mom that I stayed with while abroad. If you're wanting to improve your language fluency exponentially or even just have the BEST time of your life, go to Granada with CEA. You will fall in love with city and with the people you meet.

I studied abroad in Granada, Spain through a Spanish-intensive program led by CEA. The CEA on-site staff were excellent in suggesting side-trips, as well as helping us find great study spaces in Granada. I was able to immerse myself in the culture, especially

because I stayed with a host family on-site. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with CEA, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to explore a new culture with a program that matches your preferences.

I studied abroad in Granda during the fall semester of my junior year of college, and I completely fell in love with not only the city, but the CEA program. I found that Granada was the perfect sized city to study abroad in. I was able to experience so

much while feeling safe at the same time. Studying there was truly life changing.. The CEA program directors truly cared about us and helped us succeed in school, while also encouraging us to take the time to travel and see more of Spain and Europe. With CEA, I was able to travel to multiple Spanish cities as well as Morocco, Africa. Throughout my time traveling and taking class, I made some of the greatest friends while making memories that I will cherish forever. I would strongly encourage looking into the CEA Granada program, or any CEA program in general. It will, without a doubt, change your life.

I studied abroad through CEA in Granada in the Spring of 2014 and it was by far the best decision of my life. Initially I wanted big-city Spain: Barcelona or Madrid, but my eyes eventually fell on Granada. This quaint, ancient city was the capital of

Moorish Spain up until it's fall in 1492. All of Spain is rich and full of wonderful history, but Granada is, in my opinion, the best and most exciting one. The architecture, including the UNESCO World Heritage site Alhambra palace is simply one of the best palaces in existence. There are countless other churches, roads, and other important buildings remaining, as well as two equally ancient and important neighborhoods, Sacromonte, the old gypsy cave neighborhood; Realejo, the old Jewish quarter as well as where you will be attending school, and La Albyzin, the old Moorish quarter. All of these are within walking distance and each offer a unique experience you can't find elsewhere - it's amazing! Granada is also home to the biggest university in the Spanish University System. Rightfully so, it draws in huge numbers of European Erasmus students and is hence very diverse. This means that you're getting a great education and meeting tons of great people. Because of such the student influence, nightlife is amazing here - some of the best in Spain, in my opinion. With festivals, discotecas, and endless amounts of tapas bars (did I mention tapas are free here?!), you'll never be bored in Granada. CEA is a top-notch company, and while I admittedly was not so focused on the educational aspect of studying abroad, the classes you can enroll in are very interesting. My professors were all great and I still remain friends with a few of them. If you pay attention and participate, you'll do fine, not to mention actually learn stuff you simply can't learn in an American university classroom (a field trip to La Alhambra, maybe??). CEA's staff on sight is without a doubt the best and were there for anything we needed, be it academic, financial, or emotional support. They made my transition back to my American university so flawless that all I had to do was email them. They also organize lots of trips for you, so keep some weekends open. I could write for days about how amazing Granada is, but I think you need to try it for yourself. While Spain in general is a fantastic study abroad destination, don't let this hidden Andalusian jewel escape you - it's the best Spain has to offer.
