Wonderful and Immersive Program
by: James Triozzi - United StatesProgram: SIS Semester and Summer in Siena, ItalyI had a great experience with Siena Italian Studies. The program had wonderful teachers and I was incredibly immersed in Italian language and culture. Our host family was welcoming, friendly, and supportive. Siena remains one of my favorite places in Italy. I can’t wait to visit again!
Life-Changing
by: Carson Farrell - United StatesProgram: SIS Semester and Summer in Siena, ItalyStudying in Siena through SIS was the single best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Living with a host family allowed me to truly immerse myself in the culture and - more importantly - make connections that will last a lifetime. My language skills skyrocketed, and I learned so much about history, chemistry, and more. I envy anybody who gets to go.
A wonderful learning experience!
by: Meghan (Q) Krahling - United StatesProgram: SIS Semester and Summer in Siena, ItalyI feel I truly grew so much as a person from my time abroad. I became more independent, confident, and made relationships to last a life time. Aside from learning a new language, I learned countless life experiences that I will use for the rest of my life.
