Program Reviews:
Summer - Two Months 2012 Participant
Being able to see firsthand the monuments and art about which we have been taught our entire lives.

Samuel Richard Packer, Summer - One Month 2017 Participant
Don't give up, and while you may not speak fluent italian, try to speak it whenever possible.

Laura E Carlson, Summer - One Month 2015 Participant
My favorite part of this program had to be living with a host family. Part of this program is all about culture and there is no other way to say you have truly lived and learned everything about Italian culture without living with a real Italian family. You can learn all the facts about the monuments and museums, but you will never understand what it is like to live in Italy if you don't embrace the host family and their way of living.
