General Information

Semester and Summer Study Abroad Options

When students endeavour to negotiate a new culture they need help on several levels. They need language lessons, cultural immersion activities, and classes to enrich their understanding of a society different from their own. But they also require fundamentals like life insurance, transfers, and internet access.

Our aim at Il Sillabo is to facilitate a smooth entry into Italian culture both practically and intellectually. With the details of the immersion experience left to us, the students can devote their energy toward the real work of adjusting to the horizons of a new world-view.
