Though spartan by American standards, rooms are comfortable and are conveniently located near the university. Students are encouraged to specify a roomate. While round-trip airfare is not included in the program cost, the Program recommends a designated USF group flight itinerary at a competitive price. It is strongly recommended that students travel outbound together with the group to Italy, although they may return separately. Persons traveling independently of the group assume all responsibility for getting to Perugia at their own expense in case of a flight delay or mis-connection with the scheduled group arrival .
Baggage allowance is one or two bags per person.
Participants are strongly advised to travel light and carry no more than they can comfortably manage on their own. Non-U.S. citizens are responsible for obtaining visas, if applicable. Cultural Excursions Weekend excursions include visits to Assisi, Siena, Florence, Ravenna, Venice, and Rome . Highlights include the Palio in Siena and an outdoor opera in Rome. The program is directed by Dr. Domenico Ierardo, USF Division of Languages and Linguistics.
