Study Abroad with USAC
"Overall, I would definitely recommend this program. I would only make small recommendations to improve the program"
A student University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I learned how to be self-sufficient. I am more confident when I am alone and traveling doesn't seem so crazy anymore. Italy was a crazy country that gave me new insights on people and life. I try to slow down as often as I can to catch up with friends and reflect on life. This trip was life changing."
Rachel D University of Nevada - Reno
"This was the most worthwhile experience and I would tell anyone to do it!"
Alyssa F University of Maine - Orono
"I learned to be more idependent and to focus on myself growing as an individual. It was the best experience of my life!"
A student University of Nevada - Reno
"I gained a lot of experience with the Spanish language as well as connections that I will keep for life. "
Gabriel R University of Nevada - Reno
"I am better at understanding the Spanish language when it is spoken. This type of learning could only come from studying abroad and being immersed in the Spanish-speaking culture. "
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I learned so much about myself as well as Thailand and Southeast Asia. I really value the fact that I was able to feel like a local by the end of my semester, and I know I will always consider Chiang Mai a second home. It was absolutely worthwhile to go abroad, and I wish I could do it forever!"
Maria J University of Cincinnati
"I learned a lot about myself and how to be independent. It was definitely worth going and I would do it over and over again if I could."
Alexandria G University of Maine - Orono

Sarah B University of Maine - Orono
"I learned so much about life in general. Luneburg/germany was a great place to "find yourself".

A student Texas A&M University - College Station
"I became more aware of international events, learned several delicious recipes, learned how to speak "proper" English, found a great balance between keeping my American culture and integrating in English culture, learned more about who I am as a person, was able to make new priorities, appreciated the architecture, and all in al..."
