A five-week program, presented in association with the Umbra Institute, that immerses students in the daily life of those in the "green heart of Italy."
This program immerses students in university and Italian daily life, and includes 远足 to popular destinations, 比如罗马, 弗洛伦斯, Spello, Bagnoregio, 奥维多, 拉弗娜, 古比奥和阿西西.
Sunbathing and swimming await you at the beach on nearby Lago Trasimeno.
Students earn six or seven credit hours* from among a selection of St. Bonaventure courses that can fulfill general education requirements.
Perugia is also close to some of the best-known hill towns in Italy including Siena, Greccio and Spoleto.
Students may choose to travel on one free weekend to wherever the schedule and their budget allows. In the recent summers, students have explored Venice, 五渔村, and the islands of 卡普里 and Ischia.
Perugia has a population of more than 100,000, making it large enough to offer an interesting and varied cultural experience for college students and small enough for the students to become comfortable in its environs during a summer stay.
由于它的狭窄, 蜿蜒的街道, terracotta-roofed stone houses and palazzi, and large piazzas dominated by churches and other public buildings, Perugia has retained a medieval appearance while adding modern amenities.
The Universitá di Perugia and the Umbra Institute provide rich and lively cultural experiences including museum exhibits, 音乐会, and festivals in addition to plentiful academic offerings.
