Marine and Costal Ecology

I loved every moment of this program, from the hands-on field activities to learning Italian and meeting students from all over the world. It was not only educational but also a lot of fun. Highly recommend to anyone passionate about environmental science and sustainability.

As an Environmental Sciences major, this program was incredibly enriching. The hands-on activities and the capstone project on environmental sustainability provided real-world experience that's hard to come by. Also, the opportunity to learn Italian and interact with a diverse group of students added so much value.

Mixing marine biology studies with snorkeling and boat trips around Syracuse's coast was unreal. Saw some amazing sea life and got to chill on some of the most beautiful beaches during our downtime. Study sessions by the sea? Can't beat that.

This summer program perfectly blended academic rigor with adventure. Visiting Mt. Etna and the Aeolian Islands for field studies was beyond educational. However, I wished for more in-depth sessions on marine biology. Overall, the multicultural environment and earning college credits were major pluses.

The Environment and Biodiversity program in Sicily was a life-changing experience. Exploring ecosystems from the coast to Mount Etna offered unparalleled learning opportunities. The mix of theoretical knowledge and fieldwork, especially the capstone project, was perfect for hands-on learning. Also, learning Italian was a bonus!

If you're into nature and sustainability, this is your jam. We were out in the field more than in class, which was sick. Seeing conservation efforts up close and getting to contribute? Priceless. Plus, the local scene in Syracuse is chill and super welcoming.
