The food in Italy is incredible.

If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? Yes

The staff and professors are wonderful, the locations are extraordinary, and there's really just nothing else like it.

Finances

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

This is an expensive program, but it's completely worth it.
