Once in a lifetime opportunity
by: Aedan Closson - United StatesProgram: USAC Italy: Reggio Emilia-Education, Communication & HealthSpending a year abroad in Italy was one of the best experiences of my life. Experiencing a different culture, exploring a beautiful country, and making lifelong friends are just a few of the reasons why I fell in love with studying abroad. I highly recommend studying abroad for a year to anyone who is even slightly interested, provided you have the funds and means to do so. As a Child Development major, I was extremely grateful to witness firsthand how children learn using the Reggio Emilia Appr...
An Amazing Summer in Valencia
by: Abby Moore - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Valencia - Spanish Language, Culture, & STEMStudying abroad in Valencia was the best decision I have made for many reasons. It had all the benefits of a city by the beach with amazing nightlife and cultural activities. The zoo and aquarium are must do activities! The city was very clean, safe, and easy to travel through. Public transit was amazing but you could also walk to plenty of places! It is also in a great area to travel out of. During my time I took a train to Madrid, a bus to Barcelona, and flew to France and Italy! The field tri...

I chose to study in Lüneburg, Germany for a few different reasons. Primarily, learning German has always been a goal of mine. Unfortunately, my high school didn’t offer German classes, and classes at my university were limited. I decided that the best and only way for me to learn German was to be completely immersed in the language. Second, as an International Business major specializing in Europe, I knew that living in Germany could be a major asset to me in my career down the road. Finally, my paternal grandfather was German, so I’ve always felt connected to German culture and wanted to explore the land of my heritage.

I chose to study in Pau, France because I have been studying French since I was a freshman in high school and am a French minor. I’ve always loved learning about the French culture and wanted to experience it first-hand. I also was able to practically complete my minor and really improve my French in just one semester.
