Program Reviews:
Summer 2026 Participant
My favorite part was staying with a host family, which allowed me to have a deeper understanding of Italian culture.

Summer 2024 Participant
My favorite part of the program was how accessible it was to a complete newcomer to the Italian language such as myself. I thought the courses would be a struggle for those going in blind, and at times it was, but the program ended up being very accommodating for my shortcomings.

Summer - Two Months 2023 Participant
There was the perfect balance of freedom and structure. I never felt aimless, yet I had the freedom to explore the country.
