Best Semester

Submitted by Olivia Nieves - CSU Chico | July 03, 2018

I spent the past 4 months laying on the beach with a bottle of SPF 100 surrounded by amazing people and an amazing language. The staff were always there to help with anything you needed. The cost of living there made it easier to say yes to experiencing new things. The professors were passionate about the courses. The other people in the program became your support group when nerves about going out to explore the island started to peek its head.

It was honestly the best decision I have ever made. If you are someone who hates monotony and craves an adventure go to Brazil. Its a country that has a lot to offer. I wish I was still there eating Moochachos and No deck Lancheria twice a week or taking a nap on Praia Brava with my USAC friends. This experience just fueled my desire to go to more places. If Brazil has taught me anything it's to stop questioning everything and to just go for it.

Best time of my life

USAC Florianópolis is an absolutely amazing program. I enjoyed every single second in Brazil. I met amazing people, learned the language and culture, and had the best time of my life. I would recommend this program to anyone in the world. The administration is the best, so helpful and caring. Talking about it right now brings tears to my eyes. Amazing program!!!

The best chapter

Submitted by Kylie Flores - University of Nevada, Reno | June 25, 2018

Studying abroad taught me many things. I learned a new language, a new culture, I learned how to travel and live in a country where I didn't know the language, I gained a new experience that can never be replaced. After living in Brazil for 4 months, I felt like a pro when it came to speaking in Portuguese (because I was surrounded by it 100% of the time). I felt very comfortable and at home the whole time I was abroad.

A very cultural experience

Submitted by Cyndahl Cottrell - The University of Alabama | June 22, 2018

I learned so much studying abroad in San Sebastián. The staff was amazing in letting us know of things going on in the city such as movies to go see, festivals, hiking, beach clean up, and more. My professors also told me about different cultural things to do in other cities, and good food places to go to. I lived with a host family who made me feel so comfortable, and helped me with my conversation skills. Class was challenging, but I still can’t believe how much I learned the semester I was there! My peers were so fun and made the trip unforgettable as well. Oh yeah, and I also learned Basque!
