What they say about us
This experience was well worth it and I would recommended it to any student considering a Study Abroad Internship. Sant’ Anna was extremely helpful and
knowledgeable about the area and the different places they placed us for our internships.
In just three short weeks I have felt at home here in Sorrento. The culture and the atmosphere is one that makes you fall in love right away.
Sorrento is an amazing town. Even when I go else where in Italy I am always excited to come back to Sorrento. The university location is incredible and the
dorms are really nice (with incredible views).
My experience at Sant’Anna was without a doubt a unique experience. I was placed in a internship that was new to me. Though the internship was not as
expected I still feel as though I learned a lot in my time here.
