Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."My name is Amira and I was in the CYA program for the winter semester in 2023 and it was an unforgettable experience. Oftentimes individuals travel because they believe they may ‘find themselves’ and I believe that as a person you do not find yourself, you make yourself. Being part of the CYA program helped give me the tools to ..."

"I gained a sense of independence. I made myself uncomfortable so that I could achieve the ability to find ways to make myself comfortable. I think this experience showed me a lot about who I am. I would 100% do it again if I could. "

A student DePaul University
"This experience was very much worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself in the course of the two and a half months that I was abroad.

Juliana Minasian DePaul University
"I learned that this world is even more amazing than I had ever dreamed and that this trip would be the first of many foreign adventures for me. I also learned that if I could live out of a small suitcase for over 4 weeks (and never felt like I was doing without), that probably means I don't need 90% of the junk I thought I neede..."
Rachel M DePaul University

"This was one of the most life changing educational experiences I have ever had. The music in itself was incredible, but the real lessons I learned were about how to live my life. I learned the importance of living deliberately, how to work/live with all different kinds of people, how to develop endurance and focus, and the val..."

Sarah T DePaul University
"If I could do it again, I would go independently without any program. I am an independent person and travel / adapt well and I found that the program limited me in some ways and made the trip more expensive than it needed to be. Once I was actually there and met students who arranged it independently, I thought that seemed ideal..."

Maura C DePaul University
"I love the Spanish language, I love Barcelona, I loved my time abroad. It was professional, yet laid back & the instructors were younger, allowing cultural anxiety to be almost nonexistent. I ended up going on to major in spanish & communications & this course definitely helped me determine that path. "
