Spring Break 2026 Participant
My favorite part of this program was the ability to learn and study up close and personal all the ancient sites learned about in the Lawrence classroom. Details and background information were given in the classroom and then on-site it was super easy to recognize the things that were pointed out and discussed beforehand in greater detail.

I would recommend knowing more than a little Italian so that you can be as polite as possible to everyone. I would also take as many notes as possible about the places and pictures you take. I took a lot of close-up pictures of things and later forgot what museum we were at that had the items I was interested in. This will also help with the assignments on return. If possible if you can take a video of the item you're most interested in stating the day, time, and the location and maybe the room you're in, this would have been very helpful to me.

I learned that for this program, a spirit of independence is critical. Even in the short time of this program, it will teach you how to do things on your own and navigate challenges in a foreign country. There are guides and structured lessons, but it is also necessary to seek out other opportunities and activities that will enrich and deepen your understanding of what is being taught.
