How Studying Abroad Changed My Life!
December 20, 2025by: Lauren Birschtein - United StatesProgram: USAC Spain: San Sebastián - Spanish Language & PsychologyStudying abroad in San Sebastián, Spain was an incredible experience! I had never heard of the city before but I was excited to explore a new place! San Sebastián is a beautiful city with so much to offer. I made lifelong friends in my program and with locals that I in still stay in touch with. My closest friends I made abroad still plan reunion trips to connect around the country! Studying abroad allowed to to travel and learn so much about cultures worldwide. I wouldn’t change this experience for the world!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE
December 20, 2025by: Kenadee Hadlock - United StatesProgram: USAC Scotland: Stirling - Undergraduate CoursesStudying abroad in Stirling, Scotland was hands down the best decision I have ever made. This experience changed my life, completely for the better. I got to travel across the country and do things I had never even dreamed were possible. I met amazing people and drank the best coffee I have ever had. I danced and explored and hiked and cooked and got to discover who I am and what I love to do. I learned that there is beauty in everything and everywhere, you just simply have to look for it. As a history buff, this was a phenomenal location choice. The amount of architecture and history in Scotland is incredible, and the views are breathtaking. I don't have enough words to describe how much I loved this experience. If you are even remotely considering study abroad, DO IT.

I have always had a love for travel. My desire to see the world beyond the states led me to study abroad. My mom also studied abroad in her college days which further inspired me to take that step toward this experience. I knew that studying abroad would be one of the best ways for me to immerse myself in a new culture at my age, especially while still being a student.
