My experience in Prague 2023

CEA's study abroad program in Prague was unique to me for 3 main reasons. Firstly, the program offered a variety of courses which worked for many different majors/ interesting, but they were all extremely culturally relevant to Prague. In my architecture class, for example, we went on fields trips every day, learning about styles and periods through the buildings around us, and the history of the city. I took a class on Franz Kafka, a Czech surrealist author, and the class was able to walk around and identify places Kafka lived, worked at, and wrote at. To be learning about a city that you are in, that you can see and imagine, was extremely valuable to me. Secondly, the program location allowed me to study abroad on a budget. Because Prague is a relatively cheaper city than other programs in Europe, studying there allowed me to engage in the community and with friends. I was able to socialize, go to restaurants, museums, and travel, without going over my budget. Thirdly, Prague offers a nonwestern culture that I had never experienced before. Going abroad, I wanted to immerse myself into a culture and language that was unfamiliar to me. Prague was the perfect location for this; I learned a lot about central/eastern European lifestyles!
