The Umbra Student Body
Each semester the Umbra student body consists of approximately 120 students from a wide range of US colleges and universities, and approximately 15-25 local Italian students from the Universita’ degli Studi di Perugia.
The admissions committee seeks students of sophomore status or higher, who have exhibited the maturity, responsibility, openness and willingness to benefit from and contribute to the study abroad experience coupled with superior academic performance; Umbra students are among the top academic echelon in their college or university and share much in common:
- a fervent desire for learning both in and out of the classroom;
- the drive and initiative to immerse themselves into the local Italian community;
- the desire to befriend and interact with Italian and international students;
- the willingness to travel unbeaten paths and embrace unique new experiences;
- an appreciation for personal growth resulting from international study;
- and a desire and commitment to make the most of the study abroad experience.
Think about what you hope to gain and achieve from your study abroad experience.
If so, we encourage you to discover more, apply now, and let us welcome you in Italy as you embark on what may be the most rewarding life-changing experience of your academic career. In bocca a lupo!
