Student Accommodations

All students in the A&HST live with local host families. The home-stay experience is an essential and integral part of the program, offering students the opportunity to make life-long friends, practice the language skills acquired in the classroom, and experience modern Italian culture first hand.

Whether a single mother, a young married couple with children, or an elderly widow, host families are carefully selected and are all experienced in hosting American students. They view this experience as a form of cultural exchange and are eager to share their version of Italian culture with their houseguests.
