Best Place to Study Abroad

Studying abroad in Prague was the best experience of my life. I made lifelong friends, explored incredible places, and grew so much as a person. Every day felt like an adventure, and I will cherish those months forever.

Such an amazing experience!

I absolutely loved my time abroad. I would do it over and over again if I could. Our program leaders were amazing and always had a local excursion for us to do. The city was amazing, the classes were good, the professors were great, and again(!) the program leaders were so so amazing. The longer weekend trips were definitely worth it and the spring break was the perfect amount of time. The only downside is that we don't have a ton of immersion or interactions with other students. The school isn't physically part of another university so we don't have the opportunity to interact with non-USAC students automatically. There are opportunities to connect with the community and other students if you seek them out yourself, but it's not built into the program. Otherwise, I have zero complaints! I love the housing (it's in great parts of the city and super accessible and good), everyone is very helpful and welcoming, and it's a great experience.

Awesome stuff

    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.
