Amazing City and Great Program Past Review
By Delaney Bresnahan (Liberty University) - abroad from 01/23/2019 to 05/24/2019 with
CEA CAPA Education Abroad: Seville, Spain
I learned so much and being sensitive when interacting with different cultures. My classes and general experience gave me knowledge about the history of Spain, but also about the way that things currently are in the country. My horizons were broadened and I am forever going to cherish my time abroad.

As a young girl often walking around alone (especially after dark), I never once even questioned my safety. I was always aware of my surroundings and keeping watch (as all travelers should be), but I never once ran into any form of crime other than pickpocketing in tourist locations. I would feel confident sending my own children to Seville. |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
