Once in a lifetime opportunity
January 31, 2026by: Leslie Figueroa - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Alicante - European & Mediterranean Studies
This was my first time studying abroad and there are no words to describe how amazing this opportunity was. I got to meet so many amazing people and see so many new places. Alicante was the best place I could have ever chosen to live. You get the experience of being among towns people and being around other students. If you have the opportunity, take it, you won’t regret it!
Could Not Recommend USAC More!
December 19, 2025by: Alexa Palmer - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Alicante - European & Mediterranean Studies
Alicante was the absolute perfect place to go. Not touristy (like Valencia, Barcelona, or Madrid), but still an awesome place to visit/stay with everything you could every want (great restaurants, beaches, shops, activities, etc.). USAC was so helpful the entire time and made the process run so smoothly. Great communication and resources. I even had an incident involving a trip to the emergency room, and our coordinator helped me so much (even though it was a weekend after 5 pm) and the insurance they provided was a smooth process. The length of the trip was perfect (I did summer session 1), and I made so many friends on this trip! This is your sign to go USAC- Alicante!
The best time ever

Going abroad to Alicante was one of the best decisions of my life. I had a great time and I learned so much about Spanish culture and myself. I highly recommend Alicante to anyone who wants to go abroad!

My dad read me his journal when he studied abroad in Sevilla back in 1989. While in Spain, he learned Spanish. Everytime he used it to help others was like wizardry to me.
