Learned so much more outside of the classroom!
January 17, 2025by: William Cunningham - United StatesProgram: USAC Comparative Studies: Uruguay and Cuba Summer SessionThis was an experience of a lifetime and USAC did an amazing job with providing me the perfect amount of guidance and freedom to learn about the culture, language, food, etc. I enjoyed being able to compare and contrast Cuba and Uruguay and think this program is once and a lifetime. I learned so much about myself and gained a whole new perspective on life. Definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the vastness of Latin American culture.
