Study in Italy – Guide to Studying Overseas
For those of you who wish to study in a romantic and historic environment, Italy is a perfect destination. The history, art scene, food, vineyards, and people all add up to an incredible experience living overseas. Just visiting the main cities of Rome, Florence, and Venice are enough to make the dreams come true of so many Americans…but there is so much more to see and do! Consider a study abroad trip and taking the weekends to ski the Alps, swim along the beaches of Sicily, or visit Mount Vesuvius.
My friend studied Fashion Design in Rome during one semester of her Undergraduate studies. Whenever she speaks of her overseas experience, she can’t help but get a huge smile. During her program, there was a fashion design competition, which she ended up winning and gaining great publicity and enhancing her resume. She is now teaching at an American University.
There are programs for everyone; the casual traveler that wishes to learn more about a specific subject, summer sessions, college credit sessions, high school programs, and, Graduate programs. The four main cities to consider for your overseas adventures are Rome, Torino, Siena, Florence, and Venice. Rome will obviously have the most programs available since it is the largest city and the country’s capital. The benefits of studying here include the multitude of historical sites you can visit, a vibrant festive atmosphere, and using its great location as a jumping-off point to visit other Italian and Mediterranean locations.
