University Studies Abroad Consortium

Study abroad in Verona Italy was the absolute best experience I could have imagined! I grew so much as a person and had the time of my life! I met great people and the USAC staff there was amazing, so nice and so helpful! If I could do it again I would in a heart beat!

I am really happy that I chose to study abroad in Alicante. The cost of living was very affordable and keeping myself fed was very easy. I lived near the town plaza and the restaurant and entertainment options nearby were incredible. The staff was exceptional and were very helpful no matter what issue you were having. I wish the spanish-only class offerings were a bit more diverse, but overall I had a great experience.

Going into studying abroad, I was overwhelmed and unsure if I had made the right decision. I was told by all of my peers that this was going to be the best experience of my life, however, naturally, in the back of my mind, I thought, “What if it’s not?” Throughout this experience, I learned so much about myself, was surrounded by the most supportive and loving group of people, and traveled to places I would have never dreamed of. That summer was such a pivotal moment throughout my college career, and I am forever grateful I was able to experience something as transformative as studying abroad!
