As you board your plane in the U.S., leaving behind the comforts of home, family and friends for your new adventure in Italy, be confident that we’ve got you covered pre-departure through to arrival and beyond. About two weeks before you depart the US your program manager will send you arrival instructions, an Italy Travel Guide and a tentative orientation schedule.
You’ll easily spot the friendly Arcadia staff waiting for you in the airport arrivals hall. Transport will be waiting to take you to your orientation accommodation usually lasting three – four days.
If you’re like me, you never believe your advisors talking about personal growth during study abroad meetings. However, I have realized that even their ideas about change cannot compare to the exponential growth which one experiences while abroad. In only four months in Italy, I learned more about myself than I had in 20 years of life, and I honestly believe it should be a requirement for all American students to go abroad. ”
