Unforgettable
May 23, 2025by: Mikayla Talkington - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishI had an incredible time and learned so much! I felt so safe while being in Bilbao and felt that the city was easy to navigate. I loved my apartment and all the friends I made. We went on so many cool trips like to san juan gaztelugatxe, art museums, wine tasting, surfing, a fancy spa as San Sebastian, and went to France. There were endless cool things to experience and I had the time of my life.
Best thing that I ever could have done!
March 31, 2025by: Malia Weaver - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: Bilbao/Getxo - International Business & SpanishStudying in Bilbao truly changed my life. It broadened my horizons to the world around me, I grew so much as a person, I learned so many skills that will help me in my life, and I gained a love for new cultures and places. USAC did such a great job of making study abroad feel accessible and they helped me every step of the way. The program directors were amazing and I just went back to Bilbao this month and saw them and my host family! My host mom became my second mama and I am so grateful for her! Bilbao is a clean beautiful and safe city and i think of it as my second home! I couldn't encourage people enough to go study abroad!
So fun!!

Paige Miller
Participated in 2016
I grew up in a very small town, so the dream to get out and explore new things and different places was something I always had on my mind, but never really came into the picture until I went to college at the University of Cincinnati. It wasn't until I started taking a required Spanish class in college that I realized one thing I really wanted to do was study abroad in a Spanish speaking country.
