Student Experience
What the students thought - anonymous quotes
‘Inscribing Italy’, July 2010. Students ventured through the Renaissance
and the ‘Grand Tour’ of the eighteenth century to the mass tourism
of today. They examined factual and fictional travel literature, and
engaged in guidebook studies, both in class and through field trips
in the local Tuscan region.
“Prato was an amazing experience to study and learn about Italian culture, all the teaching staff were fantastic and very enthusiastic, engaging providing a laid back and informal learning environment”
“The program provided a great sense of camaraderie amongst the students, teaching staff were great and delivered the best course content ever!”
“Making new friends and meeting students from other campuses was a very rewarding experience.”
“Learning the units in an intensive mode provided an enjoying and different learning environment and experience”
“Studying at Prato was like sharing an intimate and unique experience with other students from different backgrounds, age and fields of study”
“Having been on study abroad experiences before, this was the best organised and education experience I have even had – great lectures and best teachers”
“Taking study units at Prato in an intensive mode allowed me to speed up my degree and spend time in Italy learning its language, culture and enjoy food and meet so many different people”
“Prato experience taught me to become more independent in money management and decision making on my own – developing great skills in life”
“It was great to combine intensive study with travel – we were not restricted in our movements about Italy and Prato; the flexibility of the time-table gave us an opportunity to make travel plans and see historical sites.”
“The class participation was great and the lecturers provided an informal and flexible forum for discussions – I had awesome teachers!”
“While I really enjoyed the classes and the diversity of students, I would have liked more excursions and group tours. Prato has greatly enriched my learning experience and knowledge of Italian culture while building friendships and independence.”
“My classes in Prato gave me a rare opportunity to travel overseas and see different cultures, people and attitudes while still completing my degree. I immersed myself in the subjects gaining more knowledge, understanding and more connection with the teachers."
“The best night life in Prato and best gelato I have ever had!”
“Great organisation of the program and fantastic opportunity to study in Italy while still doing Monash course”
