GO. TO. ALICANTE.

by: Alexa Palmer - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Alicante - European & Mediterranean Studies
9

I did the summer session 1 program in Alicante and it was an incredible experience that I can not recommend enough. Still a big city, but not NEARLY as touristy as Valencia, Barcelona, or Madrid. USAC was amazing in setting up group activities and helping the whole process run smoothly. I also needed to go to the emergency room at one point and the program director Luís came with me and helped with the insurance process and everything. The teachers were amazing and the friends I made during this...

I can't recommend this program more!

I can't say enough good things about the USAC Galway program. Galway quickly became my favorite city I had ever visited. You get the perfect mix of a busy city, yet you're still surrounded by nature. There is so much to do between downtown, Salthill, campus, and surrounding areas. And Irish culture truly is everywhere in Galway, with the music on the streets, the Irish speaking areas nearby, and the summer festivals. University of Galway is a great campus and a great location. We stayed in Goldc...

The Big Leap

by: Sebastian McGimsey - United StatesProgram: USAC Japan: Nagasaki - Japanese Language, Society & Culture
10

The idea of being sent to a country across the other side of the world scared me. However, after arriving in Japan, last March, I had one of the most memorable semesters ever. Through USAC, I was able to not only immerse myself into the culture and language, but I also met some of my best friends too. My school, being abroad, was very active in terms of extracurricular events! The area surrounding the dorms were filled with all types of mini-restaurants, hole in the walls, and unique shops too. ...

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.
