Yes it was--i learned a lot about Italy and I made sure to use the language as much as possible. I really learned a lot from my weekend trips around Europe as well. Kelley F - Tufts University View Entire Review
I had an amazing time! I met so many cool people, saw cool things, and really started to feel like a local Perugian after only a few weeks of studying there. I would love to go back to Italy and live for a while after studying there because I enjoyed their lifestyle so much. Brooke L - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was amazing! I would do it again and travel more on the weekends. I gained a better understanding of myself and a better understanding of the culture outside the United States. Sarah D - Elon University View Entire Review
I'm definitely glad I went, it made me aware of some different ways to live. I wish there had been more avenues to meet other Italian students. Amy E - Rice University View Entire Review
It was wonderful because of the classes (if academics and learning are appreciated, this is a good program), because of the homestay (truly the best part), and because of Perugia's small community feel with cool stuff to do. Florence or Rome would have been overwhelmed. Mary I - The College of William and Mary View Entire Review
