Leadership Study Abroad Programs

I loved studying abroad in Tornio through USAC. I made a ton a life long friends, ones I still keep contact with 2 years later. The food, the travel, the school workload, and the experience in itself really was the perfect situation. I learned a ton about myself and Europe, something as an American I hadn’t really studied before. I’ll forever be thankful for this experience

I studied abroad in Torino, Italy, with USAC during the 2025 Spring semester. This experience was everything I expected and more! USAC was so great at explaining how to complete the necessary paperwork, VISA, etc., to study abroad. Once I arrived, the staff on-site was amazing. Eliana and Daniele were so helpful for the entirety of my stay in Torino. They coordinated everything from a trip to Bergamo and Lake Como, a tour of the city, and tours of both Torino F.C. and Juventus stadiums. As far as my classes went, I took five classes that allowed me to immerse myself in the Italian culture. I learned Italian, took a cooking class, an Intercultural Communication class, a Sports Business class, and an International Marketing class. Torino was perfect because it was a huge Italian city with lots to do. I really felt like I learned a lot about Italian culture studying abroad there, because it forced me to learn the language. Torino also allows you to travel anywhere you want from the train station. I visited a new country or city every weekend I was abroad. 10/10 experience, if you can go to Torino, go!
