Academic experience was questionable but rest was amazing!
June 02, 2026by: Parsa Mallik - BangladeshProgram: USAC Sweden: Vaxjo/Kalmar - Undergraduate & Graduate Courses
I did not have the best academic experience and would recommend taking only fun classes specifically designed for exchange students, unless you are highly motivated, regardless of what your peers are doing. Other than that, my time in Sweden was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I was able to make lifelong friends, travel A LOT, and experience things in a way that is only possible during studying abroad. Vaxjo is a very clean, friendly, and convenient city, amazing for nature enthusiasts. Coming here was definitely one of the best decisions I ever made.
I was amazed at this!
June 01, 2026by: Rosie Reynolds - United StatesProgram: USAC France: Pau - French Language & European Studies
There was a big group trip I got taken on with people who came abroad with me from other universities in the United States. It was the Paris trip and it was something I’ve been dreaming about since I was little. I got to see the Effile tower for the first time and it was an amazing experience. I almost cried.
Learning through Life
June 01, 2026by: Julia Mayer - United StatesStudying abroad is the best decision I’ve ever made. I have been taking Spanish classes since kindergarten, but learned more in one month than I have in all my Spanish classes. I would make this decision time and time again.

I was inspired to study abroad at Maastricht University in the Netherlands by my desire to experience a new culture, gain a global perspective, and challenge myself academically. The university's international reputation, innovative teaching methods, and vibrant city life made it an ideal choice.

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.
