Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I studied in Siena (1 hr distance by car from Firenze, approximately), at the Università per Stranieri. Siena its a nice, small place with cute cafes and social spots. Just the best, for me! My internship was a great opportunity for me. I developed my Italian language well and met some great people. The workplace was exactly what I needed. My colleagues were very supportive. I learnt a lot also: among many other things, I learnt about multiple different areas of crime and criminality, and all round I am pleased with my experience.
