Forming Community In Rome With SAI

I highly encourage people study abroad through SAI. SAI prepares you for your adventure before departing and provides support through every step of the way (if you need it). The on-site staff was a strong support system for us and provided me with a community to fall back on throughout the semester. SAI also provides program enhancements like cultural experiences (cooking classes, day trips, etc.) FREE OF CHARGE which is just incredible and provides amazing opportunities for friendships to form! The Global Leadership Certificate is another enhancement that makes this program unique - it allows you to (if you choose) complete a number of community service hours and reflect often on how your experience abroad is helping you grow as a global citizen. Rome in itself is an amazing place to study abroad - it is rich with culture, unique locals, and a bustling yet home-y feel. I fell in love with Rome over the course of my time there and truly valued the new perspectives I learned about and local friendships I formed. SAI is the way to go.
