A must do for any student
December 19, 2025by: Abigail Meyers - United StatesProgram: USAC Czech Republic: Prague - Politics, Culture, & the ArtsI knew studying abroad in college with something that I wanted to do. I had never been to Prague before coming here and now I find myself recommending it all the time. It was an absolutely incredible experience and I really appreciate it that everybody at USAC helped with immersion, navigation, and adjusting. I felt really supported and the program helped a lot with getting to know the area. I enjoyed my classes, the people, and the world around me. Studying abroad was absolutely incredible .

The time of my life in Prague!
April 01, 2025by: James McMahon - United StatesProgram: USAC Czech Republic: Prague - Politics, Culture, & the ArtsMy month in Prague was amazing and probably the best time of my life. I got to see so much cool stuff on my own and was provided so many unique experiences with USAC, like visiting a medieval mine, a huge fort, countless medieval churches, museums, and boat tour! I got to meet several awesome people and got to celebrate my 21st birthday in a Irish karaoke bar. I got to see museums of history I have always wanted to see (I even got to go into not one but two cold war bunkers!). Overall so much fun and has defiantly made me want to move there!
The best decision I ever made!
April 01, 2025by: Brynn Healey - United StatesProgram: USAC Czech Republic: Prague - Politics, Culture, & the ArtsStudying abroad in Prague was by far the best decision I ever made and would do it again in a heartbeat if I could. The city is breathtaking, clean, and easy to navigate, and the program left me with knowledge, appreciation of Czech culture, and friendships I wouldn't trade for the world. It was my last semester in college, so I chose to go out with a bang. I still communicate with my professors and fellow students, as well as locals I met while there. It's been two years, and I still dream of cobblestone streets, the metro, castles, and quaint coffee shops. If I can say one thing to you if you are considering this program, it's 100% do it. You won't regret it. I wish I could do it again.

My inspiration to travel abroad was fueled by my longtime desire to travel outside of the country, as I had never been anywhere out of the U.S. previously. I spoke with peer advisors at a study abroad fair at my college, and after that, I knew I was going to be headed somewhere abroad in the near future. It became all I could think about, I just had to make the most difficult decision - where to go! My college had partnered with one program provider, CIEE, to offer 50 students a free passport, which I didn't hesitate to apply for. Fortunately, I was one of those lucky 50 students, so that also helped drive me to make my final decision to head overseas.
