5 / 5
Standard Course
I’m home and exhausted! What with trying to speak in Italian for two weeks and visiting every garden in Florence, I am done in. I had a fairly quiet middle weekend, ready to face school the second week. I felt like a kid again, but without the mental capacity. Fortunately, I managed to keep up […]

Academic Year Course
The thirty-two week Academic Year programme in Italy was fantastic. I divided my time between Rome, Milan and Florence.

Combined Course
I loved how the lessons were all in Italian, as it really immersed us into the language. Being a complete beginner taking a dictionary to class became a necessity. I liked how there was a mix of all ages at the college. The teachers were very friendly and welcoming. By the end of the course […]
