University Studies Abroad Consortium

The whole trip feels like a dream! I loved that I was able to become so immersed in the Italian culture and miss being there every single day. I had the opportunity to take some really interesting classes and meet some amazing people, both with the program and in the community as well. The semester went by too fast, and I cannot wait to go back to visit. The city of Viterbo was beautiful and quaint, and right nearby was the amazing city of Rome. I learned a lot of things that I would have never been able to study so hands-on back in the US. I am grateful for my experience abroad!

USAC in Thailand gave me numerous opportunities to go out of my comfort zone, travel, learn, and make memories. I made life-long friends in the program, many of whom I continue to stay in contact with. Now that I am back in the United States, I miss the friendliness of the Thai people and the DELICIOUS cheap food. I, along with many other program participants are already trying to plan a trip back to South East Asia.

This was my first time studying abroad and there are no words to describe how amazing this opportunity was. I got to meet so many amazing people and see so many new places. Alicante was the best place I could have ever chosen to live. You get the experience of being among towns people and being around other students. If you have the opportunity, take it, you won’t regret it!
