The best and biggest growing experience!
March 14, 2025by: Sierra Lawson - United StatesProgram: USAC ITALY: Verona-International Business & Italian StudiesStudy 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!

Building a new life I will always remember!
March 14, 2025by: Jerardo Nataren - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Alicante - European & Mediterranean StudiesI 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.
If given the chance, everyone needs to study abroad!
March 14, 2025by: Devon Schaller - United StatesProgram: USAC Italy: Torino - Intl. Business, Politics & ArchitectureGoing 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!

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.

I wanted to go abroad again, and figured it was a great opportunity to travel as a college student. Many of my friends who had done programs were really happy they went, so they absolutely pushed me in the right direction.
