Umbra Parents’ Guide
We are delighted that your son, daughter or relative has decided to study abroad at the Umbra Institute. We know this is an important decision for them and quite likely for you as well. Supporting your student’s desire to study overseas and watching while they embark on this new adventure is exciting, but it can also be daunting at times. Rest assured that the Umbra Institute’s foremost goal is to make your student’s sojourn in Perugia the best experience it can possibly be. Our dedicated staff provides each student with individual attention to help make their semester in Perugia safe, memorable, and enriching.
In order to make the transition ahead as smooth as possible for your student, we’ve prepared the following information as a guide. In this booklet you will find practical information about the program including orientation, housing, health and safety, and ways you can assist and support your student during their experience abroad. Being prepared will help you and your student, and it will also allow us to provide the support that is required when and if it is needed. We welcome your questions and are available to talk with you about our programs and services at any time.
