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

Studying abroad with USAC in Torino was truly a life changing experience. I was scared to leave my friends and family, moving to Europe not knowing anyone in my program. However, as soon as I landed in Torino I had already met such amazing people. Little did I know that I would make lifelong friends! We were a program of about 40 students and became as close as one group could possibly be. Torino is such an amazing city, from its architecture and art to food and culture! Our program directors, Eliana and Danielle, were extremely kind and welcoming and became great role models for us all. The program trips were so much fun and I encourage you to take advantage of all of them. We were fortunate to be able to visit Lake Como and a wine tour in the Piedmont region. If you are thinking about studying abroad with USAC, do it! It was truly the best 5 months of my life.

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!
