Best time ever.

This was the best summer and possibly expierience I have had in my life. I studied in San sebastian for 2 sessions over the summer and loved it. Met the best people who I can consider my friends for life now while learning so much. I got fully immursed in the culture here while attending so many cool events I never thought I would be able to like participating in the running of the bulls and being in spain to see the spain soccer team make it to the finals in the world cup. I learned how to surf and more importantly speak more fluent in another language. I highly recommend this program!!!

I loved San Sebastián!

I had the best time abroad last summer, session 2 of the USAC San Sebastián program. I specifically participated in the psychology portion of the program taking a positive psychology class during my time there. Although the class had some critiques, San Sebastián is the most amazing city to study abroad in. It is small enough to not feel overwhelmed but still has all the aspects of a big city that you may desire. Plus, it’s right on the beach!!

New experiences and a beautiful month in Spain.

I learned how to surf, which has always been a bucket list item for me. Our surf instructors were amazing and were amazing to learn from. I also got to practice my Spanish with them. They are trilingual, as are many people in the area; they know Spanish, Basque, and English. The weather was absolutely beautiful for the month of July. I got to take weekend trips to beautiful nearby areas and got to go see the running of the bulls. My Spanish class was very well taught, and my professor was amazing.
