All of our students live with Italian host families specially selected with the idea of providing both parties with the opportunity for a cultural exchange. This is a very important and enriching part of our program both because it strongly encourages students to use their language skills and because, unlike dormitory life, it leads them right into the heart of Italian life.

Most families live just outside the city walls but the center is always easily accessible. Students are in single rooms during the semester and usually in double rooms over the summer.
