Language. Art. Architecture. History. Religion. Food. Fashion. Italy has so many things to offer. Like Rome, it will take much more than a day to discover everything, immerse yourself in your host family, and become a part of the unique culture that defines the country.

Youth For Understanding USA's (YFU) high school study abroad program is an experience that will immerse you in the lives, languages, cultures, and communities of a real family in one of more than 40 countries around the globe. YFU is a homestay experience where you live with a carefully selected host family who has agreed to open their home and their hearts to you—providing room, board, and a caring home. You'll gain a global family, make new friends, and even attend a new school through academic programs.
