Couldn't recommend SAI enough!

SAI was by far the best program I could have chosen to work with during my time abroad. From the moment I registered all the way to months after being back in the States, SAI went out of their way to meet my needs. They picked me up from the airport and took me to my apartment (which they provided), making me feel safe in a country I’d never been to. They had an orientation teaching us the do’s and don'ts of being abroad and the difference in our cultures, which was very beneficial. All semester long, they hosted events that allowed me to explore different parts of Italy and meet amazing people in my program. My favorite events were the pasta making class and wine tasting, as well as making chocolates in Perugina. Even when I got back to the states, they continued to reach out asking how I was adjusting and what they could have done better, to improve their program for the next students. SAI is dedicated to giving students an amazing experience abroad and you can truly see that by the way they care for you. Couldn't recommend SAI enough!

SAI Rome summer 2023

I highly recommend choosing a program like SAI for your study abroad experience because it offers you much more flexibility and opportunity for free time unlike university sponsored trips. I was able to travel to different cities around Italy whenever I wanted by simply taking the train after class. We also had very free weekends to do anything we wanted, like travel to other countries (I went to 4 others in only 5 weeks!). My experience was even greater than I expected because SAI helped make everything go so smoothly and I was never stressed out about anything. They also had plenty of activities for us to get to know each other before classes started which helped with making friends and getting familiar with the city in general a ton. The location in Trastevere was the perfect combination of locals/non-tourists and other study abroad students or families who ventured over the Tiber to our side of the river. Such a cute town with great restaurants and night life (from dancing in the street to little bars!). Close enough to walk and see plenty of the touristy or historical areas in Rome too. SAI takes care of your transcript forms at the end and everything too which was so helpful. I can’t recommend them enough!

Beautiful memories I wish everyone can experience

I believe that studying abroad is something that everyone should do, if they have the opportunity to. This was an amazing experience where I got to live in a whole different country for five months and experience a whole new culture and people that I am not use to. I had to put myself in situations that I never thought I would, and it was very beneficial for me. I got to experience a new language where I was able to pick it up after just living there for a short while. You become accustomed to their way of life, and it changes who you are and you get to bring all your new knowledge back to home to share it with others. While being in one country, the cheap airplane tickets to a close country was how some weekends were spent. This journey opened up more of the world to me and never did I think I was going to be able to say I have visited eight new countries in a short amount of time. Studying abroad was a beautiful experience, and I would go back in an instance.

Beginning in high school, it was always my dream to go abroad. I love exploring new cultures and traveling, and it seemed that spending a semester in a new country would allow me to do what I had wanted to do for so long.
