CAPA WORLD

Welcome to the CAPA Sydney center! On today's virtual tour, Nicolas shows you a glimpse of study abroad life in Australia. From the gorgeous courtyard outside to roomy classrooms indoors, take a look at where you could spend one of your future semesters. The center is located in a heritage building close to Sydney's central business district - where it's frequently bustling and positively buzzing with creative energy!

With Australia being a sports hub and a two-time Olympics host country, studying sports management in Sydney was too good for Nicolas to pass up. During his semester abroad, he interned at a tennis club and got to know the sports culture of the country better. Want to know how else this program expands your knowledge in the field? Nicolas shares a quick overview on what to expect.

You won't want to miss Nick's final vlog of the semester, where he looks back on his time studying abroad in Sydney this spring and shares incredible footage from Sydney and beyond!

This week, Nicolas takes us on a tour of Sydney's parks— from relaxing spaces near the CAPA Sydney center to vibrant parks with the best city, sea, and sunset views. Check it out!

Nicolas' semester with CAPA Sydney is complete, and he has a few more incredible vlogs from Sydney to share. We hope this one from his visit to Australia's Royal National Park will bring you joy and a sense of calm!

Darling Harbour is quickly becoming vlogger Nicolas Dostal's favorite place in Sydney! This destination is THE place to be - from frequent festivities, water sports, and street performers, it'll never be a boring time! Darling Harbour also boasts some of the best restaurants and cafes in the city and more, so tag along on this virtual tour and see what this district has to offer.

Come along with Nicholas as he gets up close and personal with some of Australia's native animals at Featherdale Wildlife Park and visits the breathtaking Blue Mountains National Park outside Sydney!

You won't want to miss this week's vlog from Nicolas, where he gives us a tour of Sydney's world-class beaches, from Coogee to Manly to Bondi!

What are you most excited for during your study abroad semester?
I am most excited to explore a part of the world that is completely different from any environment that I have ever been in before. I never thought that I would be able to experience the extraordinary Australian climate, culture, food, and people at this stage of my life so I want to fully immerse myself in this new world.
