Best thing that I ever could have done!
March 31, 2025by: Malia Weaver - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishStudying in Bilbao truly changed my life. It broadened my horizons to the world around me, I grew so much as a person, I learned so many skills that will help me in my life, and I gained a love for new cultures and places. USAC did such a great job of making study abroad feel accessible and they helped me every step of the way. The program directors were amazing and I just went back to Bilbao this month and saw them and my host family! My host mom became my second mama and I am so grateful for her! Bilbao is a clean beautiful and safe city and i think of it as my second home! I couldn't encourage people enough to go study abroad!

January 16, 2025by: Avery Blais - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishIt was an amazing experience and felt so short. I would go back in a second. Met so many friends and got to experience so many fun things. All of the staff administration were so nice and helpful too. Best decision ever!!
This semester was the best semester ever
November 24, 2024by: Kaden Reeve - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishMy semester abroad was the most fun I've ever had. It was a great experience to understand Spain's culture and differences compared to what I am used to in the States. I love the country so much! I loved Spain so much that I feel like Bilbao would be a great place to retire, as all the older people seem like they are just living life. Spain was an awesome country and learning Spanish was huge for me because I can use it in the super helpful business world.

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.
