USAC Czech Republic: Prague - Politics, Culture, & the Arts

My 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!

Studying 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.

Overall, I had a great experience with USAC in the Czech Republic. Everyone involved in the program in Prague were fantastic. They were very helpful in showing us around and helping me get used to the city. It helped me adjust to the living style very quickly. The actual education was enjoyable because I took and art and architecture class and we walked around the city looking at buildings, sculptures, paintings, etc. Then we wrote a paper about it at the end. I would highly recommend travelling with USAC, no matter where you were considering visiting.
