Set goals
Heading to Italy with clear intentions enhances the study abroad experience. Reflecting before you go helps you stay present, engaged, and open to growth upon arrival.
- Define what matters most to you academically. Think about how your courses, professors, and learning environment in Italy can connect to your long-term academic or career goals in a real and practical way.
- Plan for cultural immersion from day one. Set intentions to interact with locals, explore neighborhoods beyond tourist zones, and engage with Italian traditions to deepen your experience.
- Stay open to unexpected moments. Some of the most impactful experiences abroad happen when plans change, and curiosity takes over.

Things to know
Traveling to Italy requires preparation, and studying there is no different. Here's what you need to know to get ready for your journey:
