CEA CAPA Barcelona was AWESOME!!!

CEA CAPA Barcelona was a fantastic way to experience Europe for the first time. Classes were held Monday-Thursday, so long weekends were perfect for traveling. Barcelona was a phenomenal city to call home for 3.5 months. CEA CAPA prepared students to go abroad with a step-by-step pre-departure process that made the logistics of going abroad far less daunting. While we were there, CEA CAPA provided us with cultural workshops, optional trips to explore other parts of Spain, and more.

My favorite class while abroad was called Intercultural Interactions: A Psychological Perspective. This course was designed for students to gain a certain level of cultural competence. It broadened my perspective on different cultural situations and challenges that I had not encountered. The class really opened my eyes to the complexity of culture by relating it to psychological concepts.
