Is SRISA for you?

IS SRISA RIGHT FOR YOU?

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a study abroad program. This important decision can change your life as you embark on an exciting adventure that is sure to make an indelible and positive impact.

Florence: The first decision, of course, is where you want to study. Florence is a popular destination for study abroad. As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, Florence is home to over 60% of the worlds Renaissance masterpieces. Florence is geographically small for a city of its size so within a few days of wandering around its neighborhoods you'll feel right at home. At the same time its numerous piazzas, museums, churches and cultural events provide a lively and exciting setting in which to explore.

The Cost: SRISA has an extremely competitive tuition that can make studying abroad feasible for many students who may need to apply for loans or who have limited economic resources for study abroad. It also allows students to invest more into their art, studies, and overall experience in Italy.

Your home away from home: For many people choosing to study in another country is a once in a life time opportunity. Studying far from home can be very exciting but a new culture can at times be challenging. SRISA makes that transition easier by being your home away from home. Many of the faculty and staff members studied abroad in Florence when they were in college as well and know what it means to be a foreign student studying in Florence. Faculty and Staff are always present on campus for advice and friendly conversation. The program size and faculty engagement in extracurricular activities helps establish a relationship between students and faculty and staff, making each person feel a part of a dynamic community.

Quality: There are many programs in Florence to choose from. In sifting though the endless lists of programs, there aren’t likely to be any that can offer the same mix of cost, quality and community that you can find at SRISA. The facilities are first-rate, with the latest technology as well as numerous supplies and equipment available for student use. Class sizes are personable allowing students one-on-one attention from their instructors to better cater to their needs.
