CEA Student Life: Florence Ask a CEA Student

"Before I studied abroad, I was starved for independence and experience. By traveling with CEA, I was introduced to a whole other world through my encounter with a fresh culture and country. I highly recommend to everyone that you study abroad. It is an opportunity that allows you to discover who you really are and how you handle being so far away from the familiar. It was frightening and exhilarating, nail-biting and breathtaking all at once. Now that I've been to Europe, I can't wait to go back - I have learned so much about art, culture, the world in general, and even about myself. Studying abroad allows you to escape your old life in order to step outside yourself and reevaluate all that you are, so that you can then change into what you will be. I am so glad I was able to travel overseas; I wouldn't trade it for anything!!!"
