Our students’ reviews
★★★★★
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.
★★★★★
This experience was well worth it and I would recommend 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 are one that makes you fall in love right away.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
