"The University of Innsbruck has been cooperating with Study Programs in Italy for several years: over the last three years I have been the supervisor of our students' arrival to Italy.

All the tyrolean students who attended your courses in the past came back enthusiastic. The organization, the teachers, the surrounding landscapes, the city, the activities and, of course, the gastronomy: everything proved to be lived up with our students' expectations and even more. Students always said they were positively surprised."

"My experience with Study Programs in Italy was excellent. Orvieto is a perfectly suitable location for a language travel, including students of any age: the city offers everything one could wish for such a cultural trip. There is the possibility to practise any kind of sports, furthermore the cultural offer is always a great alternative to fill the free-time and to sightsee other cities enriched definetly our experience. One thing I particularly liked was the meeting between our students and the Italian young students. Our students were excited throught the whole stay about learning italian in Orvieto."

"Someone from the staff came to pick us up at the railway station in Orvieto, then we were greeted with enjoyable refreshment. Host families, carefully chosen, made our students feel at ease from the word “go”. Lessons were totally engaging and funny at the same time, the free-time program is well-balanced and all this is surrounded by beautiful landscapes. My students' feedback: “It was the perfect linguistic week, during summer we will be back in private”.

While in the train, directly from Vienna to Orvieto, we intensively and continuously kept in touch with the Institute management office, a friendly and flexible staff who takes into account all our needs and priorities and who made possible an experience organised in all details. Orvieto is an easy orientation place, everything is easily reachable on foot, therefore easily manageable for both teachers and students. My comment as organizer: “Perfect conditions created a perfect study-holiday week. Next year we will bring a new class.”

"We arrived in the morning after a long night in the train. Right away we had a friendly hospitality from Orvieto and the school Study Programs in Italy that welcomed us with a cheers! Then we met the “parents” who welcomed our students with a smile and immediately the fears on our girls' faces disappeared . In Orvieto, a first orientation tour with Valeria was followed by a dinner in family. The days after were took up by Italian lessons, excursions, small stages, cooking class and many meetings with likeable local people. Behind this, a perfect organization of the school Study Programs in Italy with Piero, Chiara, Marilena and Valeria. The school may be small, but a big heart is indeed assured – we easily became aware of this. Thank you for this unforgettable week."
