Past Review Studying Abroad In Milan, Italy

Though there were some negative aspects, overall it was the best experience I have had in college so far. Very worthwhile to say that you took classes in another country but get to travel the country at the same time. Emma T - SUNY - College at Oneonta

Past Review Kei Milano è Molto Buona

I was independent before studying abroad, but I gained a larger sense of it during my semester in Italy. Life is about seizing opportunities and making the most of them, and I feel like I certainly did while in Milan. I would encourage everyone to study abroad. Nicole W - Eastern Kentucky University
