Best Semester Ever!
by: Adalia Haddock - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishI loved my time in Spain. Bilbao is truly the best city it has such a nice location. Meaning it is close to the beach and the border of France. Transportation was super reliable and cheap. I got so lucky with my study abroad group, everyone was very friendly and I made lifelong friends. Bilbao also has the absolute best advisor, Ibon. He is very kind and welcoming. He was born and raised in Bilbao and really showed the insider information. Bilbao also has a good sized airport so I was able to tr...
Great for Business Students
by: Keann Hall - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishI loved my time studying in Bilbao, Spain in the Basque Country Region, which is unique in its own way and unlike any other part of the country. The classes offered were insightful and worked well to transfer easily back to my home university, along with amazing elective courses like surfing and basque cooking (where you’re taught by a Michelin star chef!). The on site staff felt very supportive and I felt like I could go to them for anything, especially since transitioning from never leaving th...
Amazing experience
by: Phillip Borchert - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishI had an absolute blast on this trip. The classes and activities were fantastic. The opportunity to join in with Erasmus events gave me a social group beyond my classmates and the surfing class was my favorite part about the entire trip. Bilbao is very unique and doesn't give you the same enormous city vibes with very nice people and great opportunities to practice Spanish and you can never run out of things to do as long as you keep looking and asking for recommendations.

Paige Miller
Participated in 2016
I grew up in a very small town, so the dream to get out and explore new things and different places was something I always had on my mind, but never really came into the picture until I went to college at the University of Cincinnati. It wasn't until I started taking a required Spanish class in college that I realized one thing I really wanted to do was study abroad in a Spanish speaking country.
