"I found my true self and I realized that some things matter more in life than materialistic things and who has the nicest car,etc. What matters is relationships and establishing bonds especially with people from other cultures because you can not only learn about their culture but you can also learn about yourself."

Lucie N Providence College
"I learned that the only person you can truly rely on is yourself. Before I went abroad I was always trying to make everyone around me happy but in reality what matters is my own happiness. Traveling and those experiences I had made me realize how independent I actually am and can be."

Katie L Providence College
"I have had a great time while in Rome. I had no idea what I was getting into when I got here, but CEA Rome was a small, American program that genuinely cared about our time and experience in Italy. I enjoyed the small classes, like at my home institution, with other American students, so we were all on the same page and not lost..."
Lauren M Providence College
"Where do I begin? Rome itself is an education. The city is filled with history from the Roman Empire to modern day. Every corner is marked with an ancient ruin and it couples well with the modern Italian culture. The classes at CEA Rome were solid and not overly challenging. I learned quite a bit from the classes about Italy and..."
