Everything I did in Sydney was 100% worthwhile. I loved everything I got to experience, from traveling to the outback and New Zealand to surfing to just hanging out in a pub with some Sydneysiders. I learned so much about who I am and that I am able to have my own adventures and you never know where that adventure will take you.... A student - Hood College View Entire Review

While I was in Sydney I completed a 140 hour internship with Bradfield Bentley Pty Ltd. I not only developed a lot in my personal life, but also in my professional life.

If I could describe my experience in Sydney in 3 words, those words would be Informative, relaxing, fun, insightful, lovely, awesome…Ok I know that was definitely more than 3 words but it’s just sooo hard to put a limit to the description of my Journey. Coming to Sydney I was more focused on gaining experience in the workplace t... A student - Purdue University View Entire Review
I gained an appreciation for the culture, which I thought would be no different from that of the American culture. I gained respect and admiration for the way things are done and how Australians handle themselves in certain situations. Madelyn D - University of Mississippi View Entire Review

Learned how to be more independent. Doing and internship and making a lot of connections was the best part. alla b - Carson-Newman College View Entire Review
I learnt a lot about myself and what my comfort zones are. Living in the city my whole life and then heading to Australia didn't feel like a big difference to me it was a nicer and greater version of America. And with CAPA i have made so many friends from around the U.S. that i still keep in touch with a visit Amanda H - SUNY - Albany View Entire Review
I've gained so many life long friendships. I've adapted a laid back attitude from the Australians and learned not to stress over the small things. I've also made so many connections that will help me on in the future. It was definitely worthwhile and I wish I could do it all again! Nicole L - SUNY - College at Oswego View Entire Review

I got the chance to have an internship in my career field, which was valuable to help me get a job back home. The trip was definitely worth it! If I could go back I would for the whole semester not just 6 weeks. Nina B - Arizona State University View Entire Review

I gained a new appreciation for living on my own, as well as how to hunt for good bargains. Definitely worthwhile. Sean M - University of Massachusetts Amherst View Entire Review
While abroad, I was more freely able to step out of my comfort zone, as high as 12,000 ft in the air, and as low as 60 ft in the waters below. I gained invaluable cultural awareness, experience, the knowledge to successfully live on my own, and the lasting sensation that I can do anything in the world I put my mind to. I highly ...

I gained much knowledge in the world of sports marketing as i worked for a professional basketball team. I also learned a lot about the similarities and differences in the business culture in Australia compared to the United States. It is one of the most worthwhile experiences you will ever have Connor W - SUNY - College at Oswego View Entire Review
This was my first time traveling abroad, which in itself is invaluable. I was given a challenging internship that greatly enhanced my skills and provided me with a global business perspective. Alexa K - Arizona State University View Entire Review
This experience taught me to get out of my comfort zone and live spontaneously! It was a blast. I became much more sociable after this trip and better at doing things on a whim. DEFINITELY stay with a host family. Mine treated me like family and allowed me to have a great time abroad - plus they made AMAZING food. :) Kate K - Arizona State University View Entire Review
Studying abroad in Sydney through CAPA International was so worthwhile! It opened my eyes to another culture and further developed me into an independent person.

I learned how to embrace a new culture other than the American culture. I gained experience working in a real estate office in a different country and compare and contrast work life. Colt I - Purdue University View Entire Review
I learned to become independent. I have always lived close to home, so being so far away was a big stretch for me. Learning the transportation and my way around this huge city was such an accomplishment for me, and allowed me to realize that I am independent and capable of being on my own. It was completely worthwhile and I woul... Mollie W - Anderson University View Entire Review
