索伦托 was everything I needed: an opportunity to broaden my horizons and guide me to success
It's hard to believe that almost four years have passed since our magical summer spent in 索伦托. I was lucky enough to be one of the first students to be a part of Bonaventure's newest study abroad program. 我一点也不知道我会获得一种新的自信, deep appreciation for other cultures and best friends with whom I still don't go a day without chatting.
I can't think of anything that better prepared me for my senior year of college and the real world other than my summer in 索伦托. 它教会我走出自己的舒适区, form genuine relationships with people of all different cultures and to appreciate the little things life has to offer.
The lessons learned in and outside of the classroom in this program are unmatched. 你被当作成年人对待, live like a local and given the opportunity to find out who you are and what you truly want out of life. Not a day goes by where I miss sitting with my friends on Corso Italia sipping cappuccinos and discussing Anna's lecture from the day before.
听起来很老套, my summer in 索伦托 was everything I needed and more as a young adult entering the real world. I can't thank Anna and Sant'Anna enough for giving 21-year-old me an opportunity to broaden my horizons and guide me down a path to success.

这个项目教会了我社区的重要性, 和索伦托, 意大利, 一个社区与众不同吗
Embracing the Italian culture and lifestyle was an experience of a lifetime. 住在索伦托的时候, 意大利, 五个星期, not only did I learn several educational aspects but incredible life lessons as well.
The inspirational feeling of waking up there every day and exploring a world I have never experienced before is something that I simply cannot put into words.
After this incredible journey, the most impactful lesson I learned was the importance of community. I assimilated myself into a community that is like no other. 索伦托, 意大利, 拥有最安慰的, 接受, 以及任何人都能想象到的迷人环境.
Experiencing this authentic environment allowed me to bring this idea back to the Bonaventure community in hopes to spread the feelings and lessons I experienced in 索伦托.

我们的女儿在圣. Bonaventure; the experience of studying abroad in 索伦托 was an enormous part of that growth
Our daughter spent the summer in 索伦托, 意大利, with program Director Anna Bulszewicz and the St. 博纳旺蒂尔大学詹多里传播学院. To say the experience was incredible would be an understatement.
The focus on student integration into Italian culture and the daily built-in experiences designed to facilitate that blending made this program different from other travel abroad experiences she has had, 包括和我们在一起的人. 这段经历以奇妙的方式推动了她的成长.
她渴望生活. She is taking on opportunities that she would not have previously. She is stepping forward to interact and verbally communicate with all kinds of people: those older than her, 那些在不同社交圈的人, 那些有着不同权力动态的人. 她的个性是有目共睹的. I believe this is a result of having to interview 索伦托 residents/strangers for digital pieces students were required to create for the program. My daughter has always been confident, but that confidence seems to have matured.
In addition to classroom experiences, the program allowed the students some independence. As a result, my daughter became a stronger problem solver and planner. She manages situations and people in more forthcoming, outcome driven, and sophisticated ways. 她学会了航海, 享受, and be safe in cultures that are very different from our own as she and her friends traveled around 意大利 and Greece.
The peer bonding encouraged by Anna warms my heart and was an invaluable component of the trip. Anna taught the students how to break out of their comfortable peer circles to befriend and include others whom they may not have initially considered. 想想这有多重要. She helped them to recognize and appreciate the value and intrigue that lies within every person. 到节目结束时, when the SBU students were tired and had not had a break from one another in five weeks, 他们亲密无间，要分开也很难过.
非常感谢安娜和学校. 我女儿在全球网赌十大网站 and the experience of studying abroad in 索伦托 was an enormous part of that growth. 我和我的家人都非常感激你们两位.

My son's participation may be one of the most transforming and inspiring experiences of his years at Bonaventure
I recommend the Sant'Anna Institute study abroad experience for any Bona families considering exploring such opportunities. 坐落于美丽, 索伦托, 意大利, students are able to not only 享受 a top-notch academic experience, but live and learn while immersed in professional exploration, 风景与文化.
My son's participation may be one of the most transforming and inspiring experiences of his years at Bonaventure. 旅行的人生感悟, 生活, learning and meeting people around the globe will continue to be an asset far beyond the four walls of a classroom.
Anna Bulszewicz goes above and beyond to communicate with students and parents every step of the way. 父母 will feel comforted to know their students are so well cared for both during preparation and while abroad.
I encourage families to explore the benefits of choosing 索伦托. 我非常感激我们的家人做出了这个决定. 一生的友谊和回忆是无价的.
