Grateful For My Experience

by: Dhoua Vang - United StatesProgram: USAC THAILAND: Khon Kaen - Business, Marketing, and More
8

I studied abroad in Khon Kaen, Thailand, for a semester from February to June 2024 with the USAC program. I chose Khon Kaen because of my deep interest in Thai language, culture, and food, and I was excited to immerse myself in an entirely new environment. Academics: The academic structure in Khon Kaen was a bit different from what I was used to. All my classes were three hours long, held once a week, as opposed to the typical 50-minute classes I’m accustomed to back home. While I didn’t love th...

This was an experience of a lifetime and USAC did an amazing job with providing me the perfect amount of guidance and freedom to learn about the culture, language, food, etc. I enjoyed being able to compare and contrast Cuba and Uruguay and think this program is once and a lifetime. I learned so much about myself and gained a whole new perspective on life. Definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the vastness of Latin American culture.

Life changing adventure!

"When I embarked on my study abroad program in San Ramon Costa Rica, little did I know that it would be one of the most meaningful and significant experiences in my life. The plane landed and I had entered my journey of studying abroad! I spent four months immersed in Costa Rica's rich culture and breathtaking natural wonders. Learning Spanish was a goal that I was eager to work towards while abroad. My language skills improved tremendously and I learned to speak more of the language each day. I...

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.
