CEA CAPA Madrid was a Dream

I had a truly amazing time in Madrid interning (and studying). I was placed at the perfect internship for me, where I gained a ton of new skills. I LOVED my housing. It was right next to the royal palace and had fantastic amenities (a washer/dryer, a dishwasher, AND both AC and heat?!). Madrid is a beautiful city. It is INCREDIBLY clean, and the public transport is extremely reliable. It is also extremely safe. The violent crime rates are extremely low, and I was able to walk home at night alone, without being bothered once (something I can never do here in the US). Just watch out for pickpockets! CEA CAPA facilitated amazing events and excursions, and the entire program, including housing and these excursions, cost less than my university tuition for the semester.
