Personal recommendation
If you are interested in meeting many other Americans while abroad, attending a school that is not very academically challenging or expensive in order to spend more time and money getting to know your Italian environment and culture, then this school is a good choice. Also, the school does have a pretty strong fine arts program, with many well-trained teachers. This is really the school's strong suit, as opposed to the liberal arts studies they also offer.

Course recommendations
I enjoyed art history - every week there were walking trips to see the places and artistic pieces covered in the course. I also learned a lot from the extensive in-class work in my drawing and painting fine-art courses. Video production was good, too - each student group had the opportunity to produce two video shorts.

Personal recommendation
Definitely give it a try if you are interested in visual art but the other areas are lacking and I am sure there are more schools with better qualifications.

do not go for academic reasons...very unorganized...i chose them because they were the cheapest and that ended up not being a great reason too. The classes are a joke, a bad boring one and the advisors were a nightmare...
