Today’s Italian society is the result of thousands and thousands of years of culture. With a basis in the Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, Italy saw the birth of the Renaissance, and thus developed a rich and distinctive culture. Learn how traditional Greek and Roman rule influenced modern day Italian life. You can experience it all during your study abroad program in Italy.
Unlike other European countries, Italy occupies the unique position of a crossroads between Western and Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. During your study abroad program here, you will find that the geographic advantage of Italy allows for easy travel and an international population. You will have the chance to interact with and explore cultures like those of Old Europe, North Africa, and the Arab world.
The arts in Italy are in a class of their own. As the birthplace of the Renaissance, a study abroad program here will allow you the chance to see David and the Sistine Chapel with your own eyes. Countless cathedrals, decorated to the nines with icons, beautiful stain glass windows, and breath-taking gothic architecture, are great in-between stops as you work your way through visits to Italian innumerable museums. If the arts aren’t for you, take day trips to Florence, Venice, Rome, Tuscany, Vatican City, and Sicily. Or you can visit ruins including the iconic Coliseum, the Pantheon, and the city of Pompeii. Go skiing in the Alps. Hike up Mount Vesuvius, sunbath on white beaches, or shop your way through quaint villages. Study abroad programs in Italy means worlds of adventures waiting to be had.
Of course, you can’t study abroad in Italy without enjoying the rich, decedent food. World-famous for their warm and friendly personalities, Italians love to show you are welcome by feeding you!
