Physics Study Abroad Programs in Italy

I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad with CIS Abroad in Thailand during the fall of 2024, and I can confidently say that it was an experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to broaden their horizons. The on-site staff were exceptional, offering unwavering support throughout the entire journey. Their dedication truly made a difference. The cultural richness of Thailand is something I’ll never forget. Thanks to CIS Abroad, I was able to explore countless temples, enjoy local cuisine, and visit beautiful islands and vibrant cities. One of the program’s standout features is its encouragement for students to travel and immerse themselves in new experiences. The staff not only helped prepare us for academics but also ensured we felt confident navigating the country independently. This experience reshaped my perspective on the world. I had the privilege of meeting people from diverse backgrounds, which allowed me to learn and grow in ways I never expected. I also gained a sense of confidence that I didn’t know I needed, thriving in an unfamiliar environment where communication was often challenging due to language barriers. CIS Abroad goes above and beyond to support its students. From teaching about local culture to offering academic assistance (specific to Thailand), they foster an environment of growth and opportunity. Their consistent communication throughout the semester was invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend CIS Abroad. It’s more than just an academic program—it’s a transformative experience that will empower you to truly live your best life while exploring the world.

I had the most amazing time spending my semester in Perugia this fall. I made lifelong friends and spent time exploring not only many cities and towns in Italy, but also other countries in Europe as well! My favorite part of this experience was getting to be immersed in the culture and being able to feel confident in living in a non english speaking country. This included traveling by bus and train, as well as navigating airports as well. I was able to grow in my studies of sustainability and marketing to do with Italian food and restaurants. It was one of the best experiences. I remember being worried about coming originally, scared if I was going to make friends, worried about the language barrier, and missing home. Now I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions of my life. I am forever changed and have grown so much as a person! I am so lucky to call Perugia a second home.
