Lorenzo de' Medici: Tuscania

I thought it was going to be very cultured and homey. It was. I did research some websites about the city and a brief overview of how it was. It was so welcoming and homey. Everyone was accepting and caring. I wanted to immerse myself in Italian culture and I did. I met new lifelong friends and learned the language more easily. Interacting was not hard, because most people spoke English. Language is not a barrier. The environment is so close that you will be really good friends with your peers. It is honestly worth it. Especially if you want to explore under the surface. Get to know the staff, they are great and super nice. They help out a lot.

This was an overall great program and I would recommend it to anyone studying abroad. I only wish that they had kept the school open on Fridays and sometimes during the weekends so I could have access to the computers to write papers and do research. I also wish they would have had Mac computers throughout the whole session, with Photoshop capabilities, for those who wanted to do photography on their own time. I have always wanted to study abroad in Italy and LdM’s programs stood out to me the most when deciding who to study with. I learned about the cultures of Italy and I got to immerse myself in a local Italian environment. Tuscania is definitely a unique program that I would be happy to do over again. The staff were friendly and helpful and I was able to explore around the areas of Tuscania on day trips and on weekends.
