CIS Abroad Maymester on the Italian Coast (Sorrento)

This program was absolutely fantastic! Three weeks was plenty of time to explore Sorrento and the surrounding area in decent depth. We studied at the Sant'Anna Institute, which is designed for international students; they had many activities for us, such as an orientation tour and a day trip to Pompeii! The course I completed (History of the Mafia) was very interesting, as were the accompanying field trips. May is truly a great month to be in this part of the world; the weather is extremely pleasant, and the major tourist crowd does not arrive until June. The on-site staff with CISAbroad were extremely helpful and supportive; they clearly love what they do, and they made many efforts to connect with the students.
