Absolutely amazing experience!!!

I greatly enjoyed my experience abroad with the Umbra Institute. The institution was super helpful in preparing to leave the United States and provided lots of information as well as a pre-departure module that gave us important information and a “what to expect” page. Umbra also has a super up to date webpage with blurbs from past student’s which was helpful for me to see others’ experiences. Upon arrival and throughout the semester, the staff made themselves readily available to help during the adjustment period and beyond. They encouraged us to travel and experience our semester to the fullest. The staff gave us recommendations and were hands on throughout the semester. Our professors are simply the best of the best and are super knowledgeable about their fields. The school environment is welcoming and comfortable for all students which allowed me to feel equipped for learning and experimentation. There were endless ways to get involved throughout the semester through community engagement classes, volunteer opportunities, and small group involvement. I was apart of the Umbra Reps program which was a small group of six students who helped with student activities and involvement throughout the semester. I felt like I have been able to really immerse in the culture of Perugia and experience many places this semester. I will truly miss this place and this staff so much!!

It is also Italy’s most globally connected city in most areas of commerce and industry, making it a great place to study business, marketing, or finance as well. Of course, those who are interested in history or European studies will find few more fascinating cities to study abroad in than Milan.

With a student population hovering around 65,000, The University of Milan is one of Europe’s largest and most prestigious universities. Students who apply to study abroad in Milan at the University of Milan will have access to a thriving student population (both local and international), and a catalogue featuring courses under hundreds of different disciplines. Many programs also allow students to study at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, which has a campus in Milan.

Be wary – many of courses are taught in Italian, so if learning the language is not part of your study abroad agenda in Milan, then your course options may be more limited. But thankfully there are other opportunities for students who have no plans of learning Italian while studying in Milan.

These study abroad programs also tend to include plenty of organized field trips and cultural outings to help you maximize your experience in Milan.

Studying at a large university versus as part of a small program or international institution will prove quite a different experience – do your research thoroughly to determine which route will give you the most out of your time studying abroad in Milan.
