June Entry
Massachusetts, United States | Tue Jun 08, 2010 | Views: 1637 I know this is something that everyone says after studying abroad, but studying in Perugia was one of the best things I've ever done. I've improved on my language skills enough to communicate effectively in Italian (which has been one of my goals my entire life), made friends from all over the world, and had so much fun. I cannot say enough for this experience - if you're considering studying …

Grazie Mille Perugia
New Jersey, United States | Tue May 25, 2010 | Views: 4248 I had been planning on going abroad for years.

One month finished!
Perugia, Italy | Thu Feb 11, 2010 | Views: 521 I can't believe a month has already passed here. I know everyone says this, but it really has FLOWN. I'm already a quarter done and I feel like I haven't been here at all! Perugia is probably the best place I've ever been on earth. It's kind of the Italian equivalent of a college town - with the Umbra Institute full of Americans, the Universita` per Stranieri, where I study, and …

Pre-Departure Thoughts
Massachusetts, United States | Tue Jan 05, 2010 | Views: 494 In about 18 hours, I'll be on my way to Perugia, Italy! I'm in a really mixed state of mind right now. On the one hand, I can't wait to experience Italian culture: food, music, people, everything. I can't wait to meet new people and just have an all-around great experience for the semester. Friends and family who have traveled to Italy have nothing but positive things to say, so I'm …

I agree, going as a group would be more fun. I talked to my cousin who went last year, and he said the way to go was to camp at the camp grounds, I'm looking into it. As for dates, any of them work really, so the last weekend in September sounds good.
