A Guide to Studying Abroad in Italy
Prepare to Study Abroad
Set goals
Setting clear goals is key to maximizing your study abroad experience in Italy. To define these goals, consider asking yourself the following questions:
- What parts of this study abroad are most important and how can I connect more deeply with the material?
- How can I intentionally become more intertwined with Italy and its culture while I’m there and how can I be an intentional traveler?
- Am I looking to grow as a human with this new experience and what parts of myself can be pushed and played with while abroad?
Understand the benefits
Studying in Italy provides numerous benefits, including access to high-quality education, cultural immersion, and enriching travel opportunities. These experiences are sure to excite you academically and personally.
- Italy offers some of the oldest universities with great curriculums and international populations.
- Does it even have to be mentioned—the culture, food, history, and landscapes are all world-renowned?
- Italy is a great vantage point to travel to a great number of places both in and out of Europe.
- The country is generally pretty inexpensive (depending on what you’re interested in) and a budget is easily achievable.
Things to know
Traveling to Italy requires preparation, and studying there is no different. Here's what you need to know to get ready for your journey:
- Public transportation and deals - Buying package deals for public transportation, sightseeing, and museums can often be cheaper than purchasing individual tickets. It's worth exploring these options to save money.
- Logistics and safety - Keep all essential documents ready well in advance and create a flexible packing list tailored to the climate and activities you'll be doing.
- Cost of living and accommodation - Italy's cost of living varies by region, so research and budget accordingly. Many academic programs offer accommodation options, which can simplify the process.
- Social and cultural etiquette - Learning basic Italian greetings, such as “Ciao,” and familiarizing yourself with customs, like the late dining culture, can help you blend in and respect local traditions.
- Visa requirements - For extended stays, especially for non-EU students, a visa is typically required. Always check with relevant embassies or your program for the latest requirements.
- Language - Knowing basic Italian can greatly enhance your experience, both academically and socially, so consider learning key phrases before you go.
