USAC Italy: Verona -International Business & Italian Studies

ever since coming back from Italy, all I can do is think about it all day every day and how I need to get back. extremely delicious food everywhere you went, the cheapest and most amazing wine no matter what restaurant you walked into, and truly some of the nicest locals I have ever met, regardless of where I’ve traveled. I think Verona is possibly a better city than some of the other big name, Italian cities as it allows you to have a little bit more of a personal connection with the community around you. The art history class I took was one of the most impactful courses I took during my entire time at university

I chose Verona because it was a place I had never heard of before. As a Spanish speaker, my experience there was truly unique, I was able to communicate in Italian thanks to the shared Latin roots of our languages. I loved the friendships I made and the opportunity to fully immerse myself in an entirely different culture and country!

This was a great experience. The USAC program offered a study abroad experience that was feasible financially and I do not feel like I missed out on anything! The program has some really fun organized group trips, and events. They offered all the classes I needed to continue pursuing my degree.
