Great learning experience!
January 19, 2023by: Julianne McCoy - United StatesProgram: 12-Day Visual Arts Summer Intensive in ItalyI absolutely loved Spoleto! The Convent was beautiful and the nuns were so sweet. The visual arts and photography teacher were so helpful and gave good direction. However, there is something to be said about the program administration. Rome airport lost my luggage and it didn’t come until the fourth day. The administration offered no support and basically left me to fend for myself. I didn’t necessarily feel safe in the city because they took our phones away and didn’t make themselves available to answer questions. Because we did not have our phones to set alarms, they said they would wake us up in the morning. But they kept forgetting, or would wake us up 10 minutes before class. Overall I had a good time but do not expect the administration to answer questions or give directions. I’d you love art and traveling this is a great program, just make sure you feel comfortable navigating Spoleto with your fellow students. You really will make some great friends. And there are so many cats to pet!

A priceless experience
January 19, 2023by: Miranda Jaroneski - United StatesProgram: A Summer in Italy You'll Never Forget - Spoleto Study AbroadSpoke to SA gave me an amazing foundation to so many philosophical and artistic concepts. We traveled Italy and toured historical sites and learned about their meaning, we read excerpts of Dante's inferno to learn about important Italian literature. My drawing teacher taught me ways to think about my drawing and showed me the methodology for letting yourself be inspired by your surroundings. We were given independence to move about spoleto in our free time and shopping, buying gelato, and speaking with residents were the best ways to learn Italian. An unforgettable experience that I am so grateful for almost 10 years later
Excellent experience
