CEA 2007/2008 Catalog by Joseph Weber

Letter from the Executive Director Dear students, parents and valued colleagues in the field of study abroad, In our world today, borders have become less defined through technology, migration and the international marketplace. Therefore, a keen knowledge of other cultures and their affect on world decisions is imperative. No more is the average young person in the United States likely to attend school, gain employment and live solely within the confines of a small community, isolated from world issues. Neither book nor classroom in one's native town or nation can take the place of traveling and studying in another country. Studying abroad doesn't just open doors to an individual's future; it changes lives… it changed mine. Brian Boubek, Founder & Executive Director of CEA

CEA is celebrating ten years of providing innovative education solutions and expertise to the more than 10,000 students who have studied abroad with us. We are extremely proud that so many students choose CEA to provide them opportunities to enrich their lives personally, academically and professionally. CEA is passionate about the benefits of study abroad. We have committed ourselves to the following, to which our students and their college advisors attest: • Attentive, personalized service and support, from our student advisors in the US to our international site directors and staff members • Emphasis on academic integrity stemming from our CEA GlobalCampus Network and partnerships with institutions worldwide • Continuous innovation through our academic programs and interactive MyCEA student website • Collaboration with US and international institutions of higher learning As CEA continues its leadership role in the field of study abroad, we remain committed to our students and mission of actively developing curricula, adding exceptional programs and expanding the new CEA GlobalCampus Network. With our proven track record, academic and international expertise and vision, we are expanding the definition of study abroad far beyond previous boundaries. CEA is poised to provide the quintessential educational experience for you or for your student: an excellent cultural experience abroad which we believe will profoundly make a difference in our world of tomorrow. Sincerely,

Brian J. Boubek Founder and Executive Director

Service, Support & Value

Academic Services & Options

At the core of CEA is our dedication to the service and support of all of our students. When you study abroad with CEA you have an entire team behind you, starting from the first time you inquire and continuing through the completion of your program, and beyond as an alumnus.

Study abroad is about pursuing quality, diversity and excellence in your academic studies as you experience life in another culture. We create our academic offerings with the input of academic institutions in the US and abroad, our Advisory Board and other study abroad professionals. With this rich circle of involvement, input and inspiration, CEA provides varied and credible options for students and schools.

Investment in Your Future We realize that study abroad can be a large financial commitment. CEA programs are designed to not only provide you with a rich academic experience, but also to provide you with the skills to compete in the global economy.

Global Immersion and Interaction

Well-Being Abroad

Study abroad is unique to any other academic experience because of the opportunities it provides for cultural immersion. CEA recognizes the importance of combining academics with hands-on cultural experiences in dynamic environments to reinforce your learning.

Your well-being is of paramount importance to CEA. Our US headquarters is in constant contact with our colleagues around the world to ensure your safety.

Options in Housing We value each unique student as well as each unique host city and realize that living environments are vital to the learning and cultural experiences. Whether your program offers apartments, homestays, dorms, casas universitarias, or residence halls, each of our housing options are designed to enhance your experience and help you integrate into your new community. Our varied housing options provide opportunities for language practice, peer interaction, independence, commute ease and comfortable study environments.

Volunteer Opportunities Contribute to your host community by becoming a volunteer. Our volunteer opportunities are a great way for you to learn the values of the culture, meet locals, and practice your language skills.

Local Learning and Social Activities Explore the unique qualities of your city's culture through a range of immersion activities, from cultural workshops in areas such as cuisine or the arts to field study components within your academic program, such as tours of government buildings, stock exchanges, historical landmarks or museums. CEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy of interactive learning and hands-on exploration is weaved into immersion activities in every city.

Emergency Contact In case of emergency, CEA monitors a 24-hour emergency phone number in the US that gives students, parents, and universities direct contact with a CEA staff member in the US or overseas.

Health and Safety Committee International specialists and consultants help us monitor the health, safety and political climate of our destination countries and their neighbors.

Emergency Response Plan CEA ensures that our offices, both in the US and abroad, have clear channels of communication with our students, their families, universities, and embassies in times of emergency.

Comprehensive Insurance CEA partners with HTH Worldwide Insurance, a leader in international health and travel insurance. All students have comprehensive medical coverage while abroad and receive specific plan details once accepted into a CEA program.

Around the Clock Resources All students have access to real-world advisement and information resources through CEA advisors and resident staff members, customized MyCEA student website, and an extensive program orientation.

Cultural Excursions Take advantage of your host city's location by participating in CEA's included excursions to places and sites that you may not have discovered on your own. These are designed to provide you with opportunities to explore and experience the rich history and natural beauty of the regions surrounding your city.

The CEA Difference

Get Started

How to Get Started Our advisors look forward to helping you select a specific program and guiding you through the entire planning process. The following questions will assist you in finding a program that meets your individual needs and interests.

What Do You Want to Study? Sometimes what you want to study may determine where you will study abroad. We offer a wide variety of courses in various locations. Use the Program Finder on our website at www.GoWithCEA.com/finder or speak to a CEA Advisor about which programs offer the courses you need. • Are there certain courses required to fulfill a major or minor at your home institution? • Would you like to take classes to improve your foreign language skills or learn another language for the first time? • Are you looking for courses instructed in English?

Where Do You Want to Go? If you're still not sure where to go, talk to us! Consider your comfort level in small, rural areas as opposed to large, bustling metropolises. Is the city you’re considering conducive to your area of study – is it rich in history or steeped in business and commerce? • Call or email a CEA Advisor. Each CEA Advisor has studied abroad and can be a great resource in helping you narrow down your options. • Contact a CEA Alumnus through our website for more insight into the program you're considering. • Meet with a CEA Regional Consultant on your campus. Check out our campus schedule online.

When Do You Want to Go? CEA offers semester, trimester, year, short term and summer programs. • How long do you want to be abroad? How long can you afford to be abroad? • Make sure the program dates coincide with your home institution's academic calendar. • Talk with your parents and academic advisor for their advice on the optimal session.

www.GoWithCEA.com 800.266.4441

Other Considerations for Study Abroad Check Your Eligibility – Your CEA Advisor Can Help! All CEA programs currently require that students meet the following basic criteria: • Minimum 18 years of age • High School graduate status • Academic Standards (specific to program of choice) Additional requirements vary by location, session, and academic institution. Please make sure to check the eligibility criteria for your selected program. Your CEA Advisor is also available to assist you if you have any questions or concerns regarding your qualifications.

Talk to Your School – Your CEA Regional Consultant Can Help! To begin the credit transfer process, you will need to visit the appropriate offices at your university to discuss your plans to study abroad with CEA. Study abroad policies and procedures differ at each university. Here are some tips for getting courses pre-approved to ensure a smooth credit transfer process: • Bring your advisor a list of course descriptions for the courses that you would like to have approved. • Be prepared with a few alternate courses. • Complete an Advisor Approval Form with your advisor. • Be patient. Sometimes course approval can take a few weeks.

Consider Your Financing Options – Your CEA Finance Coordinator Can Help! Have you thought about how you will be financing your study abroad experience? Many of our students require financial assistance and we would be happy to explain your options. Here are a few resources to consider: • CEA's Student Finance Coordinator can assist you in identifying financing opportunities and working through the process. You can find additional resources and more information at www.GoWithCEA.com/financing. • Government Aid is funded by taxpayer dollars and government funding. This type of aid is most often awarded on a basis of financial need. • Private Aid is funded by a private source that is neither government nor institutional. It is usually available as an alternative loan, but can also be an outside scholarship. • Alternative Funding opportunities are usually in the form of additional loans and scholarships offered by independent organizations. • CEA Scholarships are available for semester, trimester, year and summer students. They are a great way to supplement your study abroad expenses. For more details, please visit www.GoWithCEA.com/scholarships.

Student Feedback

Your Satisfaction is Our Goal If you want to know about CEA, you can read our company profile on our website, or analyze our programs and all of the services we have to offer. But to truly know about us as an organization, we feel that the best route is to hear from our alumni - students who have been our programs, realized the CEA experience personally, and have an opinion to share. This catalog is sprinkled with alumni quotes – the voice of our students. But we wanted to give you more. After each of our programs our students fill out an evaluation, ranking CEA in numerous areas so that we can find ways improve our already tried and true methods. Below is the cumulative data collected from spring 2004 through spring 2006.* Now you can get the whole picture straight from our students.

Student Responses When asked about various aspects of CEA, this is what our students had to say:

• 98% found their CEA advisor to be friendly and courteous • 94% thought that the CEA pre-departure materials were beneficial • 93% felt that the orientation program was well organized • 99% found their resident staff to be knowledgeable of the host country and foreign culture • 95% felt that the level of independence offered through our housing was good or excellent • 90% said that the quality of activities planned while abroad was good or excellent • 90% rated our excursions as well organized • 99% traveled every month • 90% rated their host city as safe • 93% found the insurance plan provided by CEA to be good or excellent

Reflecting on the Past Studying abroad offers such an amazing opportunity to develop relationships and acquire skills for a rewarding career, while teaching you about yourself and the world around you. Over the past ten years, CEA has strived to provide students with academic programs and cultural experiences to foster this type of professional and personal growth. We have encountered some truly wonderful people since our first program in 1997. On our anniversary, we take a look back and see where life after CEA has taken our alumni.

Where are they now? Ten Years of CEA

Carmen Candy

Kevin Kalwerisky

Meghan Zinkhann

I'm a bilingual branch manager at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Being a branch manager for the largest rental company in the world is the equivalent to owning your own company with the pay and incentives. Plus, I'm in the running for a new position in Puerto Rico to start operations for Enterprise in San Juan. After studying and volunteering in Mexico for one year, I'm earning top pay and I receive about 20 hits per day on Monster.com and other websites where my resume is posted for my language abilities.

I began my ophthalmology training this summer at Wilford Hall Medical Center, located on Lackland Air Force base, Texas. I am an active duty Captain in the US Air Force and upon completion of my residency will serve as an eye surgeon for our troops and their families. Since my first program with CEA I have continued to travel and study abroad. Most recently, I spent four weeks in Vienna, Austria as a Max-Kade Fellow. I was also able to travel around Switzerland for a week and spent a week in Paris with my wife (also a Paris 2001 alumni!).

I graduated from Gannon University in December of 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and International Business. I would never have been able to complete the degree if it weren't for my study abroad experience in Costa Rica.

Crissy Martinez Not only did I graduate with more credits than necessary but I was also able to complete my minor with the classes I took abroad. In addition, and most importantly, when I began applying to graduate school for an MSc in Globalization and Latin American Development, my experience in Mexico definitely helped enhance my application and personal statement.

Dan Thompsen My travel and study abroad experience in London was a huge plus on my resume for my current job at Expedia.com. As a leader in travel, they look for people with a great travel background across the whole company.

Kris Ramonda I graduated from Texas A&M with a B.A. in Spanish/International Studies in December of 2004. Next year, in fall of 2007, I plan to begin a master's degree in Applied Linguistics. Right now I am teaching English in China.

Lindsay Peters I graduated in 2005 with a degree in Economics and French. I am now an analyst with the US Census Bureau. Studying abroad greatly improved my French-speaking ability, which helped me write my senior thesis in French, which impressed interviewers.

Carmen King My time abroad in Costa Rica was an amazing period of my life that changed my academic and personal trajectory. Through the program, I not only built upon my prior language training to achieve fluency in my language skills, but also I grew to love the culture and people. Since my experiences in Costa Rica, I have completed my undergraduate degree in Spanish and realized a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree through an exchange program in Guadalajara, Mexico. I am currently a Latin American Studies doctoral student and Spanish instructor for the ASU Spanish department. My decision to study abroad with CEA was perhaps one of the single most determining factors of my career and undoubtedly facilitated several other intercultural experiences that I have been allocated. As a language teacher and doctoral student, I would rate a full immersion study abroad experience an invaluable endeavor for every university student.

Cory Kill I advocate international education to every student I come across. I have taught high school for the past two years and have encouraged all of my students to participate in study abroad programs in college. I inform them that they will become so much more open minded with the experience. Also, my job is to make them enthusiastic about the language and create the desire in them to continue to pursue it.

Andrea England I currently volunteer with RESULTS international Education Fund, and Language, ETC. Both of these are in Washington, DC as I am currently interning with the Department of Defense. Earlier this year while taking classes at the University of Cincinnati, I volunteered as both an international student mentor and a peer advisor to students wishing to study abroad.

Emily Maturo I attend Concordia University in Montreal, QC. And my major is art history. This is because of my inspiration for art during my studies in Italy with CEA.

Liz Newitt I graduated from Ohio State University with a BA in French and Psychology. I am currently living in Nantes, France teaching English to primary school kids. My year abroad with CEA in Aix really opened my eyes to all the possibilities and I couldn't wait until I found a job teaching over here.

Kathryn Taussig I live in California where nearly half the population is Hispanic so employers are much more eager to hire me when they see I can interact with Spanish-speaking customers in their own language.

Argentina Up Close

Orientation CEA will provide you with helpful study abroad resources before you leave home. Once you arrive in Buenos Aires, CEA will hold an in-depth group orientation, where you will explore the city and your host university, as well as learn more about local customs, extracurricular activities, CEA policies, and health and safety information. In addition, you will have the opportunity to get to know other CEA participants as you begin to adjust to life in Argentina. During orientation in Buenos Aires, you will also get to know the Plaza de Mayo, made famous by Peron and Evita, and experience traditional Argentine ice cream at “Freddo” - unique to Buenos Aires and a “can’t miss.”

Buenos Aires Staff CEA has an experienced and friendly staff in Buenos Aires to ensure that you have a positive study abroad experience. From academic support to cultural counseling, the staff will be available to help you make a smooth transition into the Argentine culture and educational environment. Gabriela Bittleston - Director • Certified in tourism studies from Instituto Superior de Turismo Perito Moreno • Worked as a coordinator in the International Relations office at the University of Belgrano for 14 years • Studied and worked abroad in the US for one year; speaks Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Italian

Buenos Aires Housing Housing is located throughout the city center with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and public transportation to the university.

You will be placed in a single or double room and will be provided breakfast and dinner daily.

Iguazú Falls - “Great Water” One of the Natural Wonders of the World, Iguazú Falls has been declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Bordering three countries, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, they officially belong to Argentina. Four times the width of Niagara Falls, the Iguazú Falls are spread in a horseshoe across 2,700 meters (1.67 miles) and boast of 160 to 275 cascades. But the sheer size of these falls means nothing until you experience the panorama for yourself. From a close distance, you will literally feel the sprays of mist. The falls are surrounded by the National Park of Iguazú which is filled with over 2,000 species of native flora, 450 species of birds, 80 species of mammals, and insects of all shapes and sizes. From the park’s trails, you can hike to many of the amazing falls, natural pools, outlooks, and the catwalks which take you right into the path of the falls. It is from here that you will understand the true meaning of the word iguazú great water.

Residencia - Residencias are off-campus residence halls that house between 75-200 US, international, and Argentine students. Rooms are equipped with beds, desks, and linens and you will have access to shared bathrooms. Breakfast is provided daily and you will be placed in a double or triple room.

Excursions One of the benefits of studying abroad is the ability to venture outside your host city and explore the surrounding area. During your orientation in Buenos Aires, we will give you an itinerary of CEA excursions offered during your time abroad. To give you an idea of the possibilities, we have described some of the excursion opportunities that may be offered during your session. Colonia, Uruguay

Iguazú Falls

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this riverside town is across the Rio de la Plata in Uruguay. A walk through this charming colonial town will leave you in awe of its picturesque cobbled squares and renovated colonial style mansions.

Bordering three countries, Iguazú Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. See Garganta del Diablo, the fall’s most remarkable cascade. Then, at the ruins of San Ignacio, visit a typical ranch. Mar del Plata

Día de Campo The Argentine gaucho is a prominent figure in the history and culture of Argentina. Visit a ranch to learn about the life and traditions of a gaucho, as well as sample conventional fare. Also experience gaucho music, dance, and take advantage of the opportunity to ride horses.

Referred to as the “Pearl of the Atlantic,” this beach community attracts Argentine families every summer and makes a great weekend getaway for students. The port offers great views of sea lions and traditional fishermen bringing in the catch of the day.

Immersion Activities CEA offers you the chance to take advantage of numerous immersion and volunteer activities while in Buenos Aires. They are designed to help you immerse yourself in the local culture as well as meet and interact with Buenos Aires residents. A variety of established activities exists, and your resident staff may be able to help you find additional opportunities to meet a specific interest or need. Below are examples of the possible activities in which you can participate while in Buenos Aires. Colon Theater Tour

Tigre Delta

Tour the famous Colon Theater and go behind the scenes of this legendary theater, which houses an Art Institute as well as a resident ballet and symphony.

Visit this popular riverside retreat to get away from the bustling activity of Buenos Aires. Spend the day exploring Paseo Victoria, relax on a ferry ride, or visit the town’s many artisans to see the local handicrafts.

Tango Lessons

Volunteer Opportunities Learn the tango, the famed dance of Argentina, from a professional dance instructor. At the conclusion of the tango lessons, show off your talent in a tango show at the famous Homero Manzi’s dance salon.

Australia is a land of many contrasts, both physical and cultural. Beyond the relatively juvenile culture of European Australia lies one of the world’s oldest surviving cultures. The indigenous people of Australia have inhabited the land for almost 50,000 years and their rich culture still lives on today. Across the many diverse Aboriginal nations that existed prior to European settlement, a strong spiritual connection with the land is consistent. To the indigenous cultures of Australia the land is their food, spirit, identity and history. During the Dreamtime, a time before time, Aboriginal people believe their supernatural ancestors rose from a featureless earth creating the land, the rivers and mountains, the animals and people, and the laws that govern all. Upon completion of the creation the ancestors returned to the earth and make up many of the unique features of the Australian landscape, including Uluru (Ayers Rock). Aborigines use the land to tell their stories of their culture and to pass on information and history to the next generation. Although many significant steps have been taken in recent years in regard to Aboriginal land rights, there are many “sacred sites” still being disputed.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to get to know other CEA participants as you begin to adjust to life in Australia. During orientation in Sydney, you will also take in a 360-degree panorama of the city from the best vantage point of all, atop the iconic Sydney Harbor Bridge.

Sydney Staff CEA has an experienced and friendly staff in Sydney to ensure that you have a positive study abroad experience. From academic support to cultural counseling, the staff will be available to help you make a smooth transition into the Australian culture and educational environment. Murray Fraser - Director • B.Bus in Marketing and Sports Management from Griffith University, Australia and studied abroad at Ithaca College, NY • Five years International Education experience working at Macquarie and Griffith Universities • Lived, studied and worked in the US, but is Australian born and bred and loves the role of "cultural ambassador"

Sydney Housing CEA students studying in Sydney will be housed in apartments. CEA apartments are located a short distance from the Macquarie campus with easy access to shopping, restaurants and public transportation. Apartment - You will live in a single-sex or co-ed apartment with 4-6 other CEA and international students. While most rooms are singles, both single and double rooms are available. There is no meal plan with this option; however, you will have access to an equipped kitchen.

Student Perspective “I was pleased with CEA and felt I was given more of an opportunity and chance to meet people, learn about Australia, and travel outside Sydney with the activities planned that other students weren't given.”

Aussie Sports To say that Australians are mad about sports is an understatement. In a country where four major types of football compete for the public’s attention, swimming competitions occupy prime time television, and a cricket match can go for five days, sports are absolutely an obsession! For an isolated country of just 20 million people, Australia has made a serious impact on the world sporting stage. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Australia finished fourth on the medal tally behind the US, China and Russia, all countries with at least 10 times the population. Travel from state to state during winter months and you could be excused for thinking you’d traveled to a different country as the four types of professional football dominate different parts of Australia. In Victoria and the southern states you’ll be bombarded with Australia Rules Football (Aussie Rules); in Queensland it’s Rugby League; and in New South Wales, Rugby Union is king. However, with a successful World Cup campaign in Germany in 2006, Australian soccer is starting to make its presence felt in an already crowded football arena. In the summer sun, the scenario changes completely as the whole country unifies to follow cricket, the game that dominates the sporting landscape. Imagine a sport where all players dress in white, players break for “tea” and a match can last up to five days. Forget about baseball, American Football or Ice Hockey, if you want to cheer for a team Down Under, you’ll have to learn a whole new sport. But that’s all part of the game!

Costa Rican Adventures

If you like water sports, there are several places on both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts and several places inland to choose from. You can experience some of the world’s best fishing on the Pacific, go surfing at many of the country’s surfing hotspots such as Playa Hermosa, or go snorkeling or scuba diving at one of many beautiful locations around the Caribbean coral reefs. For the more adventurous, you can try white water rafting or kayaking down one of the many rivers throughout the country. My favorite was rafting down the Pacuare River. There is nothing like rafting through intense rapids while being surrounded by a beautiful rainforest! In addition to water sports, there are many other outdoor activities to experience. Visit Baldi Hot Springs, a Thermo Mineral Hot Springs Center, or one of the volcanoes that surround San Jose, such as Arenal or Poás. If you like wildlife, you should go visit La Paz Waterfall Gardens, a nature park and wildlife refuge. And lastly, the Monteverde Cloud Forest is a must-see while in Costa Rica. The scenery is breathtaking and you can go zip-lining through the cloud forest. Talk about an amazing experience! Costa Rica has it all and San Jose is an accessible hub to many of these adventurous spots around the country! Lori Sparks, CEA Enrollment Advisor

London Transportation: The Knowledge The true Londoner uses three modes of transportation: their feet, the "Tube" and taxis. Although the first two might be a bit lighter on your budget, there is nothing like taking a London taxi. The taxis are specially designed and manufactured by one company. Accommodations are comfortable for up to 5 adult passengers and the near-side rear door is capable of opening 180° in order to make the back seats wheelchair accessible. But a London taxi is more than a posh means for transportation. Each of the 24,000 licensed taxi drivers have to pass a test called “The Knowledge” to demonstrate their familiarity of London’s streets. The London Taxi Drivers Association says it takes an average of 34 months of study to pass. “The Knowledge” covers the 25,000 streets within a six mile radius of Charing Cross, as well as the significant places along those routes including streets, squares, clubs, hospitals, hotels, theaters, significant buildings, railway and police stations, courts, places of worship, cemeteries, parks and open spaces, sports centers, places of learning, restaurants and more. A green medal badge on the dash indicates that the driver has the full Knowledge qualification, while a yellow badge signifies that the driver is only certified in a particular suburban area. Because of this intense training, London cabbies are an excellent means for you to discover the ins and outs of the city.

From academic support to cultural counseling, the staff will be available to help you make a smooth transition into the English culture and educational environment. Lisa Sterne - Director • BA in Economics and Italian from University College London • Taught English to overseas students • Worked in International Study Abroad office at University of Sussex

London Housing All housing in London has easy access to shopping, restaurants, and public transportation. As is the case with most Londoners, CEA students may have up to a 45 minute commute to campus using public transportation. Residence Halls - You will live in an on-campus residence hall in a single room with other British and international students. There is no meal plan with this option during the academic year; however, you will have access to a kitchen. Summer students studying at Middlesex will be provided with two meals per day.

Student Perspective “I traveled all over Europe while I was here and am definitely glad I chose London as my place to study. There is so much to do and see here that after five months, I still haven't seen or done everything I wanted to! Come to London and study, experience the culture, and have the time of your life! I did!” Jennifer Deaton 2006 Spring Semester

So You Think You Speak English Ask your American friend to 'pop the hood' and it is understood; ask an English person the same thing, and they might look at you as if you had just landed from another planet. Spending time abroad not only broadens your horizons, but also your language skills and vocabulary. Different dialects, expressions and phrases all contribute to the richness of the English language, and London is certainly no exception. This fact is most evident in the wayward accent known as Cockney.

St. Mary-le-Bow Church

To truly be considered Cockney the speaker is supposed to be born “within the sounds of the Bow bells,” or three miles of St. Mary-le-Bow Church in the Cheapside district of London. However, Cockney encompasses more than just one’s origins or the distinct accent - it also has its own set of slang. Known as rhyming slang, it was created by thieves and those afoul of the law to communicate with one another without the authorities knowing what they were saying. To make a Cockney rhyme, the word you want to say is replaced with a word or phrase that sounds similar. As if this weren’t confusing enough, part of the rhyming phrase is dropped so that it becomes a sort of code. For example, “trouble” rhymes with “Rubble,” as in “Barney Rubble”; instead of “Stay out of trouble,” a Cockney might say, “Stay out of Barney.” See if you can translate this:

Well my old china (plates)! Would you Adam (and Eve) it - you’re here in London. Use your plates (of meat) and walk the fields (of wheat) around this wonderful city. But do take care as you cross the frog (and toad) - take a good butcher’s (hook), Isle (of Wight) first, and mind the jam (jars). Also keep an eye out for tea (leaves) who will try and half (inch) your sausage (and mash). If this happens call the grasshoppers on 999, but don’t get into Barney (Rubble) with them, or you’ll end up in rusty (nail)! Though no longer used in everyday speech, Cockney rhymes are a fun look into a part of the history of “English” English. Cheerio! Answer: Well my old mates! Would you believe it – you’re here in London. Use your feet and walk the streets around this wonderful city. But do take care as you cross the road - take a good look, right first, and mind the cars. Also keep an eye out for thieves who will try and pinch your cash. If this happens, call the coppers on 999, but don’t get into trouble with them or you’ll end up in jail.

CEA will provide you with helpful study abroad resources before you leave home. Once you arrive in London, CEA will hold an in-depth group orientation, where you will explore the city and your host university, as well as learn more about local customs, extracurricular activities, CEA policies, and health and safety information. In addition, you will have the opportunity to get to know other CEA participants as you begin to adjust to life in England.

The City of Grenoble offers unparalleled access to prime French skiing territory. What makes Grenoble particularly unique are the three different mountain ranges that surround the city: the Chartreuse, the Vercors, and the Belledonne. One can ski or faire du surf (snowboard) on all three ranges! Whether you are a beginner or an expert who prefers to faire du ski hors-piste (off-trail), the city of Grenoble is your ideal home base for mountain winter sports. Catch the bus from the gare-routière to dozens of area resorts that are located 30 minutes to 2 hours away. Join the ski club at your university for a one time fee (approximately €30) and enjoy the benefits of being a member. Ski lift passes (forfaits) are often cheaper and range between €7 and €14 depending on the location. In addition, excursions to the local resorts are planned. Here are some of the world-class resorts to check out: • Les 7 Laux • Val d’Isere • Tignes • Chamonix

• Has taught for over 10 years in Grenoble, primarily scientific English

They are furnished with a bed, comforter, desk, closet, and a shared bathroom.

Homestay - Homestays are typically a 15-20 minute bus or tram ride from the university. They are furnished including a bed, bed linens, comforter, desk, closet, and a shared bathroom.

There is no meal plan with this option; however, you will have access to a shared equipped kitchen.

Skiing The Alps

Should you bring your gear or not? • Your skis will count as one checked bag. • You can inquire about buying used equipment from other students upon your arrival and then sell it before your departure. • How much are you planning to ski or snowboard? If the answer is less than seven, it is not really worth bringing your own equipment. • Many stores in Grenoble and at the ski resorts rent relatively new gear for the day, week or for the season; a typical rate for one day is €20 to €30. In order to rent for the season, you have to have a French bank account. • Ski season typically starts around mid-November and runs through April; glacier skiing is offered year round at a few high altitude resorts. • It could be worth it just to bring your ski boots and rent the rest in France. Skiing in Grenoble is truly a world class experience that is not to be missed. So get ready to chill out at high altitude and have the ride of your life!

Did You Know? Buda and Pest were unified in 1873, but what united the two cities most were the bridges over the Danube. Adding greatly to the city’s panorama, each bridge has a distinct personality. The oldest is the 150 year-old Chain Bridge (Lánchíd), which was the first permanent bridge across the river. Today, nine bridges connect Buda and Pest across the Danube.

Student Perspective “The resident Director is amazing! I wouldn't have been able to make the trip without her. She was extremely helpful and responded right away to any question or concern. She is now a really great friend, and I will miss her dearly!” Jodi Aserkoff 2006 Spring Semester

A Drive Through Ireland This will be the last trip of my semester studying with CEA in Cork. It is going to be a great day! I am on a bus moving down a narrow, 2-lane road at about 30 mph. This road, like any other in western Ireland, is edged with the green of the Irish countryside; thick bushes, trees, grass, and this new type of yellowgoldish vegetation I don't remember seeing before. The stuff is everywhere. I think it's a good contrast between all the greenness of this wild land. On the road to Rossaveal, the stunning landscape is sweeping past my window. Across the shimmering water sit the Aran Islands, lying under a blanket of misty clouds lit up by the sun above them. The clouds appear as if they are at the edge of the world, seemingly just out of reach. I see a golf course, small white houses surrounded by mini gardens, a school where uniformed children practice Irish dancing in the parking lot, and small towns with shops like Feeney's Butchers on a lone main street. Everywhere I look, there are rock walls fencing in crazy bushes, cows with yellow-tagged ears, and fog over the water magically descending across the horizon. It seems as if I am on a time machine that has transported our bus of tourists to a raw, pure land proudly unaffected by the harsh, false world of franchise stores, Diet Coke billboard signs with bikini-clad models, and 'reality' television. This is real. This is alive. This is Ireland. Garret Fitzpatrick, Spring 2004 University of Wisconsin-Madison

Florence Up Close Florence & The Renaissance Michelangelo’s ‘David,’ Brunelleschi’s famous dome topping Florence’s Cathedral, and da Vinci’s cutting edge engineering design all represent the Renaissance period, a “rebirth” or rediscovery of philosophy, literature, science and art. Beginning in the mid 14th century and concluding at the end of 17th century, the Renaissance period represents the wave of change, which brought Europe from the Middle Ages into the Early Modern period. While spanning all of Europe, it is Florence that is considered the “cradle of the Renaissance,” having been the home to many of its most famous artists. The influence of these great thinkers, writers and artists can be felt through every aspect of daily life in Florence; from the government system to the decoration of public spaces.

Florence is a living museum, where you can walk the same streets as Michelangelo and Raphael, stand in awe of Ghiberti’s Gate of Paradise, or contemplate how the themes discussed in Machiavelli’s writings apply to today. As a CEA student take part in history and experience the legacy of the Italian Renaissance in daily life.

Student Perspective “The resident staff was absolutely wonderful! I could call them with my concerns and they were extremely helpful in organizing and assisting me with internships and other enrichment activities.” Sarah Seinfeld 2006 Spring Semester

Galleria degli Uffizi The Uffizi Gallery is one of the oldest and most famous museums of paintings and sculptures in the world. Housed in a palace built by Giorgio Vasari to hold the principal government offices of the 16th century hence the name Uffizi (or offices) - it evolved into a storage place for the many works of art collected and commissioned by the Medici family. When the family’s influence in Florence declined, the art remained, creating one of the world’s first modern museums. The Uffizi opened its doors to visitors by request in the 16th century and officially opened to the public in 1765. Now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Florence, the line to enter the Uffizi in the summer can be five hours long. It is no surprise when you consider the amazing collection or artwork housed inside. The collection has several universally acclaimed masterpieces, including works by Giotto, Simone Martini, Piero della Francesca, Fra Angelico, Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Mantegna, Correggio, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo and Caravaggio. German, Dutch and Flemish masters are also showcased with important works by Dürer, Rembrandt and Rubens.

Capri

Ostia Antica

Siena (Municipal Building)

Excursions One of the benefits of studying abroad is the ability to venture outside your host city and explore the surrounding area. During your orientation in Rome, we will give you an itinerary of CEA excursions offered during your time abroad. To give you an idea of the possibilities, we have described some of the excursion opportunities that may be offered during your session. Capri

Siena

Capri is known as the “Enchanted Island,” because it has a natural beauty, rocky seashores and scenic charm. Take a boat to the “Blue Grotto” and then walk around the towns of Capri and Anacapri with their hidden wonders and designer boutiques.

In Siena, wander cobble-stoned streets and be drawn into its medieval atmosphere. Explore shops, the gothic cathedral, municipal palaces, art and architecture. Finally, sit in one of the city’s many cafés in its main square, “Il Campo.”

Ostia Antica

Tivoli

Ostia Antica was Rome’s main port for 600 years. Populated by Romans, immigrants, sailors and slaves, this town was an important point of defense and trade. Look into residents’ lives by visiting their homes, restaurants, temples and sanctuaries during your visit.

Once a holiday resort for Roman aristocrats, visit two of Tivoli’s famous villas, Villa D’Este, containing 40 elaborate fountains, and Villa Adriana, an extravagant villa destroyed during the fall of the Roman Empire.

Immersion Activities CEA offers you the chance to take advantage of numerous immersion and volunteer activities while in Rome. They are designed to help you immerse yourself in the local culture as well as meet and interact with Roman residents. A variety of established activities exists, and your resident staff may be able to help you find additional opportunities to meet a specific interest or need. Below are examples of the possible activities in which you can participate while in Rome. Italian Cooking Class

Walking Tour

During this Italian cooking class, learn how to create different Italian dishes. You will also learn the traditional fresh ingredients, how they are used, how to mix and match recipes, and serving etiquette.

Fall in love with Rome during this walk. We will start with a cappuccino at one of Trastevere’s local bars and continue to Campo dè Fiori, the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. Wine Tasting Class

Opera Night A night at the opera is an unforgettable experience. Some amazing performances you may see are Puccini’s ‘Tosca’, Mascagnai’s ‘Cavalleria Rusticana’ or Rossini’s ‘Barber of Seville’, together with ballets like the ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘Swan Lake’.

Selecting and savoring Italian wine is an art. You will explore all components, including the grapes, serving glasses, and food to complement wine.

Local Secrets Here are some interesting facts that will give you an inside edge on life in Krakow. Want more? Visit www.GoWithCEA.com. Bugler King Every hour on the hour almost without interruption for the past seven hundred years, a bugle is played from the top of St. Mary's Church tower. It has been transmitted by Polish Radio at midday, every day, since 1927. If you listen closely you will notice that the tune seems to stop suddenly in mid note. This is in keeping with the legend, when the bugler was struck down as he sounded the alarm to warn inhabitants of the Tartar invasion in 1241. Blast from the Past Step back in time and immerse yourself in pre-war Kazimierz. Situated in the middle of ancient Szeroka square, Restaurant Alef has managed to recreate the feeling of days gone by, through original pre-war décor, turn-of-the-century antiques, and carefully selected Jewish klezmer music. Stephen Spielberg frequented this café during the making of "Schindler's List.” Sample some great Jewish cuisine before exploring the nearby Remuh Synagogue and Cemetery, both founded in 1553. City of Music Krakow's Main Square, Rynek Glówny, was the largest in medieval Europe and is still very much the heart of the city. Settle down in one of the many coffee shops that line the square, and allow the multitude of street musicians to entertain you. We’re not talking outof-tune acoustic guitar and ropey Nirvana covers – these are highly talented musicians who play violins, flutes, harps, tubas and glockenspiels. Enjoy performances from barber shop quartets, string ensembles and even one-man bands! Wadowice – Birthplace of Pope John-Paul II Born in 1920 as Karol Woytyla, the future Pontiff lived in Wadowice, a small town located 30 miles southwest of Krakow, until 1938 when he moved to Krakow to study at Jagiellonian University. He resided at 10 Tyniecka Street, just across from the Grunwaldzki bridge. In Wadowice, you can visit the church where John Paul was baptized and the apartment where he lived with his family, which has now been turned into a museum.

Did You Know Carriage in front of the State Hermitage Museum

At the beginning of World War I, the Germanic form of the city’s name, St. Petersburg, was changed to the more Russian-sounding Petrograd. The city was renamed Leningrad following the death of Lenin in 1924. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, in a historical city referendum, voters chose to restore the city's name back to St. Petersburg.

Student Perspective “Granada is a great city to study in! The size is very convenient, where it's small enough that you can walk almost anywhere within an hour, but big enough that it's always interesting. The city is safe, the people are very friendly and the location is great too. You can get to both the beach and the Sierra Nevadas within an hour or two. It doesn’t hurt that the resident staff is wonderful, always friendly and very helpful too!” Leslie Chinery 2006 June 4-Week

Granada Up Close La Alhambra

130

Nestled on a hill at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the Alhambra has watched over the city of Granada since the 9th century. Considered to be Spain's most important architectural monument, it is an expansive castle that housed Granada's rulers for more than 6 centuries. It was originally built as a fortress, strategically placed to overlook the valley below, and its name, Alhambra, actually comes from an Arabic word meaning "red fort.” The original structure, however, was expanded through centuries of different rulers, lending to a fascinating blend of contrasting architectural styles found throughout the complex. Today, the Alhambra is made up of three distinct sections: Palacios Nazaríes (Royal Palace or Nasrid Palaces), the gardens of the Generalife, and the Alcazaba, which is the original fortress.

The Palacio Nazaríes, however, is the architectural highlight of the entire structure. Made up of a complex series of rooms and courtyards, its ceilings feature finely knotted wood and elaborate honeycombed stucco, while the walls are intricately carved with Arabic poetry and scripture or are beautifully tiled in ceramic mosaics. The patios incorporate water, an important element in Arab culture, in beautiful fountains and reflecting pools.

The Alcazaba, the oldest and perhaps the most primitive of the three sections, boasts the most spectacular views of both the mountains and city and outlaying valley below. The Generalife offers tranquil gardens filled with shaded walkways, patios, fountains, flowers and lush vegetation.

You must experience the Alhambra for yourself to understand the impact of its beauty. It has been said that if you were to only visit one monument in Spain, it should be the Alhambra. One visit and you will most likely find yourself promising to return again someday.

Madrid Up Close

Madrid's Paseo del Prado has been dubbed the Art Boulevard. It is an art lover's paradise where three of the city's top museums reside. For a mere €7.65 (about $10) you can buy a combined entry ticket to view see the treasures these galleries hold. Second only to the Louvre in Paris, the Museo del Prado contains one of the world's finest collection art, largely Spanish and European. The Prado has held royal collections and works by artists such as Valázquez, Goya, and El Greco. Spain’s history leaps off every canvas as you stroll through its many corridors. Give yourself at least few hours to stroll through it’s impressive collection. For modern Spanish art that truly reflects the contemporary culture of the past 100 years, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is an ideal museum to visit. From Catalonian Modernism to Picasso's famous Guernica and through the surrealist landscapes of over 20 of Dalí's canvases, you will surely enjoy the remarkable works housed in what was once an 18th century hospital. Across from the Prado rests another priceless collection of art. While lacking a specific genre or movement, works found in the halls of the Museo ThyssenBornemisza are a lesson in art history altogether. From medieval religious art to avant-garde and pop art this museum holds many famous names including Cézanne, Gris, and many others.

The Legend of La Rana Every city has its own legends and folklore that make it special, and Salamanca is no exception.

Salamanca Housing All housing is located within, or just outside, the city center with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and the university. Homestays - Homestays may consist of a single señora (with or without children) or a traditional two-parent household.

Residencias - A residencia is a small residence hall in the city center which houses approximately 20 Spanish, international, and North American students.

The legend of la Rana (the frog) is popular among university students throughout Spain. This bit of superstition surrounding the University of Salamanca stems from a small frog carved into the facade of the 16th century main university building entrance. It is perched among hundreds of intricate carvings and can be quite difficult to find. Rumor has it that luck will find you if you are able to spot it, because as the legend goes, if you can find la Rana you are sure to have success on your exams. Even better, if you can find la Rana unaided, you will return to Salamanca in the future. What better luck could a student ask for!

Student Perspective “Salamanca is a dream you don’t want to end. If you’re going to study in Spain, Salamanca is the place!” Stephen Miera 2006 Spring Trimester

Cáceres is characterized by its Roman, Islamic, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture and monuments. Take a more indepth look at the city and its roots through a guided tour accompanied by a series of old stories and legends about the city.

The massive 1,900 year old aqueduct, which until a few years ago still brought water to the town, is amazing. Students also tour the Alcázar, a castle dating back to the 11th century which is rumored to be Disney's inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's castle.

Porto, Portugal

Toledo

Portugal’s second largest city has a special charm and cosmopolitan atmosphere, with its striking bridges, romantic boat rides in traditional rabelos, and its famous Port wine lodges in Vila de Gaia. Tour Porto by bus and, weather pending, spend some time enjoying the beaches.

Immersion Activities CEA offers you the chance to take advantage of numerous immersion and volunteer activities while in Salamanca. They are designed to help you immerse yourself in the local culture as well as meet and interact with Salamanca residents. A variety of established activities exists, and your resident staff may be able to help you find additional opportunities to meet a specific interest or need. Below are examples of the possible activities in which you can participate while in Salamanca. Spanish Cooking Class

Horseback Riding

Participate in the making of several typical Spanish dishes with a local chef. This activity will take place in a restaurant atmosphere where you will also have the opportunity to try all the dishes prepared.

To give you an idea of the possibilities, we have described some of the excursion opportunities that may be offered during your session. Cordoba

Rethinking Study Abroad: The CEA GlobalCampus Network

Destinations

At CEA, we are proud of the study abroad programs and services we have developed. Still, with more students going abroad and a widening variety of academic agendas, we recoginze the need to repsonde by enhancing our existing programs with new and innovative educational models. This is why we are commited to "rethinking study abroad." One of the results of this rethinking is the emergence of the new CEA GlobalCampus Network. This new model for study abroad will serve as a complement to existing programs, which offer an indispensable brand of cross-cultural education. In the new model, however, we have been doing some rethinking…

Rethinking Curriculum: Active participants in the international community need the capacity to assess, interpret and solve today’s global challenges. The CEA GlobalCampus Network will feature instruction that goes beyond traditional liberal arts and language study offerings to include a cross-disciplinary curriculum designed to cultivate the breadth of competencies needed to navigate the issues facing our world.

The CEA GlobalCampus Network is currently enrolling students in the following locations: Paris, France Barcelona, Spain Madrid, Spain Seville, Spain New locations opening in the 2007-2008 academic year include: London, England Aix-en-Provence, France Florence, Italy Rome, Italy Seville, Spain

Rethinking Learning: Studying abroad calls for a unique style of both learning and teaching. Interaction is key: Direct involvement with a new place, new people, and new experiences. At each CEA GlobalCampus, faculty will be selected, equipped and held accountable to offer courses that promote hands-on contact with the surrounding culture. Field study, internships, the latest technology… all will be employed to maximize the cultural experience abroad. Rethinking the Student Body: For too long the majority of study abroad offerings have featured groups of North American students studying together abroad. This happens at both North American institutions overseas and national universities with separated programs for foreigners. At each CEA GlobalCampus, we will be fashioning a student body that includes both North Americans abroad, in-country nationals, and other international students. Rethinking Cultural Immersion: Too often, tourist experiences abroad do not offer a wholly representative picture of life in that country. At each centrally located CEA GlobalCampus, focus will be given to activities, excursions and volunteer opportunities that are certainly enjoyable, but are also directly connected to the academic agenda of both the CEA GlobalCampus and its students. Rethinking Administration: Service has always been a hallmark of CEA programs, and the CEA GlobalCampus Network will enhance this service all the more. Applications, registration, academic calendars, credit transfer, curriculum flexibility, and even overall affordability – all of these will be smoother and more efficient for those studying with CEA. We firmly believe that the CEA GlobalCampus Network is well on its way to becoming the new type of innovative academic opportunity many of your students will need to be prepared for our ever-changing contemporary world. We invite you to follow our progress as the Network emerges and takes shape across the world.

Future Programs

Next stop… The Future! Where will CEA’s next stop be? CEA has continually developed new and innovative programs for college and university students. We are constantly receiving feedback from students and study abroad advisors regarding what they are looking for in terms of new destinations, new academic programs and innovative learning. Here are just a few of the new developments we are working on:

New CEA GlobalCampus Locations CEA’s unique academic programming at the GlobalCampus locations gets you out of the classroom and into the community with company visits, workshops, guest lectures and volunteer and immersion activities. In addition to our existing programs in Spain and France, we will be adding new locations throughout Europe and Latin America.

China We know that the world’s eyes have turned to China and so have students’. Beijing and Shanghai are just two of the Chinese destinations we are considering for 2007. Prepare for your future in the new 21st century by studying business, culture, politics and communication with CEA in China.

Business The global economy is here and CEA knows you need international business training in order to succeed. CEA has placed a focus on developing quality business programs which will provide you with the background necessary to operate successfully in cross-cultural business environments. We are continuing to develop the best business programs in the world.

Health Sciences With an increasing population, the world is continually short of health care professionals with international experience and developed language skills. Studying international languages, working in community and public health programs, and developing health science skills overseas will give you the edge needed to succeed in this continually progressive field. Look for new programs around the world with CEA focusing on Health Sciences.

Short Term Programs Trends are showing US students want to go abroad for shorter sessions at multiple points throughout their academic careers. We are continuing to develop short term programs around the world focused on intensive study, unique curriculum, community contact and immersion activities. Be sure to investigate where you can fit a CEA short term program into your college career.
