Political Science & Politics Study Abroad Programs in Italy

I can't say enough about what my study abroad trip to Torino meant to me. This program just so happened to offer the last class I needed to complete my Bachelors degree, which was unbelievable. The amount of information and resources USAC provides from the start is impressive and very reassuring. The classes were very small but just as advertised, and the ones I was in encouraged lots of student involvement. The living conditions were even nicer than I imagined, and the accommodations that I requested were easily fulfilled. Not only that, but Eliana made sure to personally make sure I was taken care of and had everything that I needed. Eliana and Daniele were the best coordinators/directors we could have asked for. They were helpful, informative, supportive, and dedicated to making sure our experience was the best it could possibly be. The program trips they took us on brought us to incredible and beautiful places, ones that I didn't realize should be on my bucket list. Any traveling we did outside of the program was up to us, but we were provided with lots of recommendations that we took full advantage of. It was a complete coincidence that I was able to finish my degree on a study abroad trip, but the experience was so much more than I imagined. I have made lifelong friends and formed memories I'll look back on fondly forever. If you're thinking of going on a USAC study abroad trip, DO IT!!!

I found CIEE to be very well run. I really liked the block set up and how it allowed me to take so many different classes. It was nice to be able to learn about so many different things. Also the way everything was organized with extracurriculars was really nice. It just made the whole abroad experience less scary.
