La Vita Bella. It truly was "the beautiful life"!
February 26, 2013by: Marie HermesProgram: ISI Perugia Semester Study - The Umbra InstituteI took classes at the Umbra Institute through Arcadia, so I didn't primarily deal with Arcada. however, when ARcadia was involved it was great. The Umbra Institute was amazing and Perugia is beautiful. I would highly recommend this program. I felt like I was able to have a truly authentic experience in a small and closely knit city. I also was able to immerse myself culturally and my language ability was much improved by the end of my year abroad.
