Cultural and Language Immersion

I had an incredible experience in San Sebastián. I studied there Spring 2025. If you are looking for a study abroad experience to learn about Spain and learn Spanish, San Sebastián is the perfect place. I had family meals with my host family and went to lots of futbol games with them. I learned so much Spanish from my host parents including how and why to say things.

Life Changing

I never knew anyone that studied abroad. My hometown is very small and rural, and my college is made up of students with similar backgrounds. USAC made the process so easy and seamless - especially for someone who had no idea what to expect. USAC offered immense support from the application process to getting settled in our house. This study abroad experience was life changing and I recommend USAC to everyone who is considering studying abroad, especially if you don’t know anything about the process.

Honestly great. Living by the coast was amazing. Classes were hard but manageable. Loved it! Our apartment was very nice as well. Located right on the water and very clean. There is honestly nothing I would change about this course.
