USAC Spain: Valencia - Spanish Language, Culture, & STEM

I learned so much and got to experience so many new things. I even took a windsurfing class which was highly educational. I honestly could not say enough good things about my four months there because I have a lifetime of memories and experiences.

Everything about the USAC program was unbelievable! Whether it was the prestigious academics at UPV or exploring the beautiful city of Valencia, USAC make the experience one of a kind. Was lucky to be given an apartment in walking distance from my university and the gorgeous beaches that line the coast of Valencia. Would definitely recommend.

My study abroad experience in Spain was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I arrived, I felt an inexplicable connection, a sense of belonging that made it feel like a home away from home. Immersing myself in the Spanish culture was a truly enriching experience. I relished the opportunity to explore ancient cities, each with its own unique story etched into its architecture and cobblestone streets. The warmth of the Spanish people embraced me, making me feel like a part of their community. I savored the tantalizing flavors of traditional Spanish cuisine, from paella to tapas, each dish a celebration of local ingredients and culinary artistry. Engaging in conversations with locals, I marveled at their passion for life, their deep-rooted traditions, and their unwavering sense of community. This immersive experience broadened my horizons, challenging my perspectives and deepening my understanding of the world. It was a journey of self-discovery, where I learned to embrace the unfamiliar, adapt to new environments, and appreciate the beauty of cultural diversity. Studying abroad in Spain was an adventure that will forever hold a special place in my heart, shaping the person I am today.
