This semester was the best semester ever
by: 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.
The greatest 124 days of my life!
by: Cameron von Tress - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishI decided to study abroad with one of my friends from school and on the last day of enrollment he decided that he was unable to attend with me. Shortly before going to Bilbao I had a realization that I was moving 5,500 miles away from my friends, family, structure, and daily habits. I was moving to a part of Spain that many of the locals do not speak English and decided to go all in and when I left, I left with more than a semesters worth of memories, I left with a family that I would have for t...

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.
