Program Reviews:
Summer 2013 Participant
I feel that the most rewarding part of the study abroad program was being able to teach inside an Italian school and getting to experience the other side of what it is like to be a learner of a second language, given that I will inevitably have an English language learner in my future classroom. It was wonderful to be able to experience what they will experience first hand, because I really feel like I will be able to relate to them directly now.

Summer 2016 Participant
I loved getting to stay with a host family and traveling to different places on the weekends.

Breana Mercedes Sharee Thomas, Summer 2018 Participant
I think living with my host family was the most rewarding aspect of the program, because I've gained a second family and home.
