USAC Reviews

I would highly recommend going to Valencia with USAC. It was my favorite experience I’ve had in my life so far! The program providers made me feel very welcomed in Spain, and the city of Valencia was so beautiful and fun to explore! I will definitely be going back to Valencia/ Spain in the future. It was a convenient location on the Mediterranean Sea and very easy to travel by train or plane. I met so many great people on this study abroad trip and I would do it over again if I ever got the chance!

I spent 6 weeks in Lüneburg, Germany in the summer of 2019. I made some of the best friends and best memories while I was there. In that short time I visited Köln, Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, Aarhaus, Stavanger, and Bergen. Being able to experience the ease of transportation in the town of Lüneburg as well as Germany as a whole was something I’ll never forget. My classes were just challenging enough and my professors were some of the best educators I’ve ever had. My only regret is not staying longer.

Studying abroad in Reggio Emilia, Italy, truly changed my life in so many ways. Studying in a smaller town was something I worried about in the beginning. My worries melted away quickly with the charm of this lovely city. USAC staff in charge of this program were amazing. They answered every and all questions had my me and my fellow students.Group trips were well planned and always neat and interesting. I had so much fun exploring this town with my fellow students. On the last day of my program, I didn't want to leave and wished I had signed up for a year program. I met my best friend through this program, we have each visited each other in Ky and Iowa!

When Covid hit and the world stood still, this class was a great opportunity to learn about the Latin American Culture. The professor is very knowledgeable about the history and how that has helped shaped the culture into what it is today. As a class, we discussed the history of the culture, food, music, traditions and much more. The professor would have us do research on a topic of interest as well as reading different articles and watching videos. I would highly recommend this class to everyone!

Had a great experience and I would love to travel there again soon! You will meet a lot of new friends and have an amazing time traveling and discovering new things. There are unique views and foods to try while you’re studying. We went on new adventures every weekend because it was inexpensive and easy to get around on the bus or the ferry. I would definitely suggested to learn Spanish since it will benefit you in the long run. Great county and a great and unique experience. Give Costa Rica a try!

I absolutely loved this program! The support we got from our program advisors was incredible and I never felt scared, homesick, or worried about covid. I had a blast with everyone on the program and was blessed with the housing I found for myself. My classes taught me everything I needed to know but still challenged me. Lüneburg was the perfect choice for someone who doesn’t want a big city feel. Unfortunately, there wasn’t the same student housing that I thought was going to be offered so I had very little notice to find my own place to stay because I didn’t want to do a home stay. But, it ended up working out very nicely!

This experience Was so incredible! I came in as a low level german student and now I feel much more confident with my german skills. Additionally, I have learned more about myself and my own capabilities. One of the best things I did Was decided to solo travel through Germany. It is a beautiful country and in so many places I felt so safe as a female presenting Individual. This City, Lüneburg, was so welcoming for individuals and made it comfortable even for people who did not know the City, culture, or language.

This program truly changed my life- I made life long friends, learned so much about myself, and grew a huge passion for travel! I learned more Spanish than I thought I would and was able to hold conversations. The professors and staff were so helpful and supportive. The side trip by USAC was also a blast, very well curated. I felt as though I really got a grasp of the culture from the classes I took and with conversations with the local staff. I would highly recommend USAC and especially Bilbao, Spain to anyone!

I had an amazing experience studying in San Sebastián, Spain with USAC. The placement system for classes once we arrived was really helpful, and I loved my professors. The staff in the office always had the answers to my questions, translated at the doctor's when I was sick, and were friendly as can be. As an introvert and a homebody who had never left US and Canada, I was so nervous about everything that could go wrong. However, the support I received made it an unforgettable experience. I stayed with a host family, and would highly recommend that.

My time studying abroad in Viterbo was one of the best times of my life! Highly highly recommend if you get a chance to study abroad you take it! It was very beneficial to take the language classes if you are studying in a smaller/less touristy town but it was the most rewarding part. Viterbo was a quiet town, but the USAC program made sure we got to experience all that Italy had to offer through field trips and tours around town. Great program, great staff and a wonderful time abroad. Thank you Chico for the great memories!
