To qualify for the resident tuition fee, a student is required by law to present once each academic year, on or before registration, a residency certificate indicating that he or she has been a legal resident of the State of New York for one year, and of a county for six months.

Wrap- Up

Since I’ve gotten back from Italy, I’ve remembered some key things I wanted to be sure students were aware of:

Check out these websites and their publications available once you get to Italy.

In Florence, there is a publication (and a website) http://www.theflorentine.net/ that is all in English. I believe it comes out weekly and has all the great events that are going on in Florence, along with news articles, sports events and classifieds. It’s called “The Florentine”- definately check it out!

In Rome, there is a publication (and a website) http://www.romereview.com/ that is “The premier resource for English speakers in Rome”. It is called Rome Review. In fact, while I was visiting AUR, I was able to sit in on a graphic design class where the students were participating in a competition designed by Rome Review. Students were to create a poster to advertise Rome Review to other English speakers in Rome and they were judged by the owners of Rome Review. The student from AUR whose poster won the contest would have the priviledge of seeing their poster all throughout Rome- even on billboards.

Also, if you are a student going to Lorenzo de’Medici in Florence and you are intersted in:

Interior Design- check out their blog at www.lorenzodemedici.it/interior

Fashion Department- check out their blog at www.lorenzodemedici.it/fashion

Graphic Design- check out their blog at www.lorenzodemedici.it/graphic

These departments are very active within LdM and I encourage you to check out what they’re currently doing!

Finally, yes- there are gyms where students can purchase gym memberships- both in Florence and in Rome. Many are very near the schools and pretty affordable. Details can be picked up at the campus center for AUR or LdM after your arrival in Italy.

Well, this is BCC Study Abroad signing off for now. Stay tuned in the summer when I hope to visit our programs in Ecuador and the Dominican Republic!

Venice- A city with no cars

Right now, I’m sitting in the airport in Milan waiting to get on my plane that will take me across the pond once again. My flight has been delayed almost 2 hours and I’d just like to be home. It’s beginning to look like I might miss the Third Eye Blind concert I was planning on going to tonight.

So, I spent yesterday in Venice. Let me tell you- it’s a pretty amazing city. I loved that there were no cars. We stayed in a lovely bed and breakfast just a few minutes from the school. The school is in one floor of one building. It’s truly a place where people from all over the world come strictly to learn to speak Italian. I was able to see one student’s apartment and speak with a few students about their time there. I sat in on a class as well. I was glad to have a few hours to walk around the city and get ready for the next morning’s trip to the airport. I ended up walking to Piazalle Roma and then took a bus from there to the airport. Luckily I got my ticket the day before because the ticket office wasn’t open at 5:15am.

If you are a student interested in learning to speak Italian, I really recommend our school in Venice (and also Tuscania, of course). I’d like to go back to Venice someday with a friend on vacation. I’m sure there is so much more of the city to see and it’s impossible to see it all in one day.
