Comments from students

• I think living with the host family was the most
  positive aspect of my study abroad experience.
  Not only was it fun and interesting to interact
  with the family, but it was very educational and
  facilitated the experience of learning the
  language.
• I have LOVED all of the excursions (Naples,
  Capri, Pompei, etc.)!! They have allowed me to
  learn a great deal about Italy's history and
  culture. Also, I really enjoy when I go shopping
  around town and talk to the shopkeepers in
  Italian. It helps keep up my day-to-day learning
  of the language and all of the shopkeepers are
  really patient and understand that I'm trying to
  learn their language.
• Italian 208 I had to write journals and an
  essays about our excursions and experiences. I
  liked this because it made me learn a lot more
  than if I had just gone on the tour because I
  probably wouldn't have paid as much attention.
• The major aspect that allowed me to be fully
  exposed in Italian culture is living with a local
  family of the country. I'd rather all programs
  form their living arrangements with local
  families instead of living in a hotel.
• What were the most negative aspects of your study
  abroad/domestic travel study experience?
  leaving!!
