\n<\/a>This guest post is written by Jessica, a college student, blogger, and recent CAPA International Education Alumnus.\u00a0 Jessica spent six weeks studying International Marketing in London, England with CAPA during the summer session, and it was one of the most fulfilling experiences of her life. \u00a0Read on to see her Top 5 reasons to study abroad with Capa International Education.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“As someone with a passion for travel and exploring new cultures, I knew from a young age that studying abroad was something I wanted to pursue in college.\u00a0 CAPA International Education helped my travel dreams come true<\/strong>, and I hope by sharing my experiences, you will be empowered to explore the possibility of adding an international component to your college education. \u00a0\u00a0CAPA London provides a cohesive blend of cultural activities, career development opportunities, and educational experiences, which is what most students hope to gain from a study abroad experience.\u00a0 I made a list of my top 5 reasons why you might consider studying abroad with CAPA International Education.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Accommodations<\/strong>
\nAfter everything I read about living in a European city, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and spacious my flat was in London.\u00a0 I stayed in a renovated building in Camden with 3 other girls from my program.\u00a0 Our flat had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room\/dining room, and a kitchen complete with a dishwasher and a washer\/dryer.\u00a0 We also had a balcony, which was a nice bonus.\u00a0 CAPA London places its students in flats all over the city, and you really feel like you become part of the neighborhood you are living in.\u00a0 If you are more adventurous than me, you might consider exploring the option of a home stay.<\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Explore Another Global City<\/strong>
\nBefore departing for London, I made a very ambitious list of all of the places I hoped to visit during my time in Europe.\u00a0 At the top of my list was Paris.\u00a0 Something that CAPA London offers that I haven\u2019t seen other study abroad companies offer is their Explore Another Global City Weekend.<\/em>\u00a0 For an additional fee I spent three amazing days in Paris.\u00a0 The price included a round-trip Eurostar ticket, hotel accommodations, breakfast everyday, entrance into the Eiffel Tower, a boat ride along the Seine, and a guided bike tour through the city.\u00a0 If you take the time to look up the price of a round-trip Eurostar ticket,<\/a> you probably won\u2019t hesitate to jump on this opportunity.\u00a0 Looking back, I think this trip was the best money I spent while I was abroad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Study center<\/strong>
\nIn a beautiful Victorian townhouse, CAPA London has its own study center nestled in Central London within walking distance from Hyde Park and Harrods. You don\u2019t have to worry about familiarizing yourself with a college campus, and everything you need is easily accessible in one building.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Transportation<\/strong>
\nAnyone that lives in a major city or has ever traveled to one knows that transportation prices can break the bank.\u00a0 If you travel abroad with CAPA you don\u2019t have to drop a cent on transportation.\u00a0 Included in the tuition fee is a prepaid Oyster Card for zones 1-3 on the tube and buses to anywhere in the city.\u00a0 If you have done any research on London, then you probably know that there are 6 zones within the city limits, but trust me, everything that you will want to see is in zones 1-3.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Internship<\/strong>
\nI can\u2019t write about my experience abroad without mentioning my internship.\u00a0 If you have any desire to do an internship while abroad do yourself a favor and look into CAPA\u2019s internship program.\u00a0 The CAPA Internship Team does a quality job of placing students in internships based on their interests and career aspirations.\u00a0 The summer internship program requires 120 hours of work, which seems like a significant amount, but the knowledge you will gain from commuting and working abroad is well worth the effort.\u00a0 I was placed in a marketing position at an art gallery in South Kensington, London.\u00a0 Don\u2019t feel constrained by your major because CAPA does its best to accommodate the needs of all of its students.<\/p>\n

CAPA London is only one of many programs that CAPA has to offer.\u00a0 I definitely wouldn\u2019t recommend CAPA if I didn\u2019t truly believe they provided an amazing experience and incredible value.<\/p>\n
