An amazing view into a brand new culture
August 16, 2025by: Jackson Wilson - United StatesProgram: USAC Portugal: Lisbon - Undergraduate CoursesI didn't love my schooling due to some credits not transferring and the classes being a little weirdly structured, other than that I loved it. I loved all the people I met and I loved Lisbon and it's locals.
An Amazing experience
January 16, 2025by: Julia Grant - United StatesProgram: USAC Portugal: Lisbon - Undergraduate CoursesMy semester studying abroad in Lisbon was an incredible experience that I'll never forget. Lisbon is such a beautiful city, with its historic architecture, colorful tiles, and stunning views from its many hilltops. One of the best parts was how affordable everything was compared to other European capitals, from meals out to transportation. While my accommodation was about 30 minutes by train from downtown and 20 minutes from campus, which wasn't ideal, the apartment itself was very nice and comfortable. Despite the commute, I was able to make the most of my time exploring the city and getting to know the local area. One of the highlights of my experience was taking classes alongside European students. It gave me a unique perspective and helped me form friendships with people from different countries and backgrounds. The cultural exchange in the classroom added so much depth to my learning experience. Overall, I highly recommend studying abroad in Lisbon. Between the city's charm, affordability, and the opportunity to study with international students, it was an enriching experience that helped me grow both academically and personally.
