Best semester ever!
September 13, 2025by: Avery Rowe - United StatesProgram: USAC Uruguay: Montevideo - Spanish Language & CultureI had a great semester. The admin and teacher in the program were the best people we could have had. They were extremely caring, funny, nice, and helpful. I learned more than I could have imagined from the teachers I had. The program was very clearly set up and the pre planned trips were amazing. The trip to Buenos Aires and Patagonia was incredible and not stressful at all. I also was able to travel all over South America. I left Uruguay with a whole new group of friends from all over.
Best program ever!

September 01, 2025by: Annie Unruh - United StatesProgram: USAC Uruguay: Montevideo - Spanish Language & CultureI enjoyed my time in Uruguay so much! The program directors are great, always helpful. My host mom was a very kind woman and I am thankful she let me into her home. I felt safe most of the time and loved getting immersed into the culture. The professors were great and I learned a lot. I am so glad I was able to improve quite a bit with my spanish.
