My academic year spent at Villa Aurora College was by far the best 9 months of my life. I went into the experience with hardly any expectations besides my independent travel goals, but by the end of the year I was speaking and writing in Italian at the PLIDA B1 level and had completed my dual minors in Italian and Art. The administration made everything so easy, from registration to check-out. Villa Aurora College really cares about each of their students; the bonds you create there will last a lifetime.

I loved everything about the Villa summer program! We had amazing professors that would go above and beyond to help us learn! I made amazing friends and got to explore the beauty Italy had to offer every week!

Having spent a year in Spain doing ACA I was hesitant to try again at a different school but I’m so glad i chose to come to Villa Aurora! Choosing Italy was the best choice! I met amazing friends and teachers that I still stay in contact with and of course I had tons of amazing food and gelato! You can hop on a train every weekend to a different Italian city and never be bored! I would study in Italy 100x over again.

My time at Villa was a complete life changing experience for me. Seeing the world through a different culture’s eyes really makes you understand the world a bit better. Life in Italy is absolutely wonderful! Every aspect of it is a unique experience that can only mostly be felt there! I invite everyone to take some time and live abroad but especially in Italy.

Villa Aurora is more than just a school. It is a family, a spiritual experience, and a beautiful place to call home. But all in all, the most important thing that you will take away, is the memories and the amazing people you meet along the way.

Villa Aurora is more than just a school. It is a family, a spiritual experience, a place full of memories, and a beautiful place to call home. You get to explore what the wonderful city of Florence has to offer. You get to take more creative style classes and who knows, you could end the year knowing how to sew, or knowing how to cook Mediterranean Cuisine. But all in all, the most important thing that you will take away with you, is the memories and the beautiful and amazing people you met along the way. ‘19-’20 | LILIANA W.
