USAC Italy: Torino - Intl. Business, Politics & Architecture

I loved studying abroad in Tornio through USAC. I made a ton a life long friends, ones I still keep contact with 2 years later. The food, the travel, the school workload, and the experience in itself really was the perfect situation. I learned a ton about myself and Europe, something as an American I hadn’t really studied before. I’ll forever be thankful for this experience

I studied abroad in Torino, Italy, with USAC during the 2025 Spring semester. This experience was everything I expected and more! USAC was so great at explaining how to complete the necessary paperwork, VISA, etc., to study abroad. Once I arrived, the staff on-site was amazing. Eliana and Daniele were so helpful for the entirety of my stay in Torino. They coordinated everything from a trip to Bergamo and Lake Como, a tour of the city, and tours of both Torino F.C. and Juventus stadiums. As far as my classes went, I took five classes that allowed me to immerse myself in the Italian culture. I learned Italian, took a cooking class, an Intercultural Communication class, a Sports Business class, and an International Marketing class. Torino was perfect because it was a huge Italian city with lots to do. I really felt like I learned a lot about Italian culture studying abroad there, because it forced me to learn the language. Torino also allows you to travel anywhere you want from the train station. I visited a new country or city every weekend I was abroad. 10/10 experience, if you can go to Torino, go!

My study abroad experience in Torino, Italy was absolutely life-changing! From the moment I arrived, I was immersed in a city rich with culture, history, and breathtaking architecture. But what truly made this experience unforgettable were the incredible people I met along the way. I formed friendships that feel like they’ll last a lifetime. One of the highlights was the opportunity to travel to so many places all over Europe with my best friends. Each trip was an adventure filled with new sights, tastes, and unforgettable memories. Some of my favorite places included Prague, Amsterdam, Barcelona, France, Switzerland, and the Amalfi Coast. This experience broadened my world in every way, not just academically. I came home with a heart full of memories, family-like friendships, and a greater understanding of the value of connection and travel. This experience wouldn't have been possible without the amazing guidance and help from USAC. Torino will always hold a special place in my heart!
