<p>Any feedback about study abroad programs? Still waiting for a response. Thanks so much.</p>
<p>There are two study abroad programs for USC:
[Overseas</a> Studies > USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences](<a href=“http://college.usc.edu/overseas-studies/]Overseas”>http://college.usc.edu/overseas-studies/)
[Summer</a> Study Abroad > USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences](<a href=“http://college.usc.edu/summer-study-abroad/]Summer”>http://college.usc.edu/summer-study-abroad/)</p>
<p>For most majors, it sounds like the study abroad program during the regular school year sounds beneficial.</p>
<p>Thanks, but I am looking for feedback from students or their parents about the programs.</p>
<p>I had an awesome time on my study abroad trip to London at Queen Mary. All of the study abroad alums I’ve talked to had a great time. USC does a good job of coordinating with the schools to offer a good experience. Is there anything in particular that you are interested in?</p>
<p>How was the over all international living experience? Did the courses transfer o.k.? How did it enrich the degree program? Any particular countries particularly appealing to USC students and why?</p>
<p>For me, the living experience was great. I was in a typical apartment type housing for the university, housed with other regular students of the school. I had a single (In the UK, doubles are very rare), and shared a kitchen with my suitemates. Every program has a somewhat different method of housing, however. Some will have students living with local families, which can also be great. I had no problem with transferring courses. I got my bio course pre-approved, and my English courses were approved after the fact, because I switched majors after studying abroad. It was definitely a great experience in the classroom. My instructors were excellent, and I enjoyed taking classes with classmates who were actually in the program. After class I got to have lots of great conversations with my classmates about life in our different countries. All of the programs offered by USC are pretty awesome. Often times, a preliminary choice on the countries that would interest a student is made based on what the major or minor is, and which countries have classes that support that. There are a lot of USC students in the UK and Spain programs, but each program is popular in different ways. I highly recommend going to the study abroad fair at the beginning of each semester. Students who have attended each program are there, and they are able to have conversations about each program specifically and answer lots of questions. Good luck!</p>
