Student Life

Benvenuti!

Between Sant’Anna Institute, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast, you will have an array of extra-curricular activities to participate in. Sorrento is wedged between the sea and the mountains which provides ample opportunity for swimming and hiking.

Every week, Sant'Anna organizes optional activities for all of its students including:

Gelato-Making and Cooking Classes
Italian Films
Language exchange partners
Italian conversation or phonetics lessons
Weekly lunches with SASL Faculty
Buffalo, wine, olive and limoncello factory tours
Snorkeling.

Sant'Anna study abroad students enjoy excursions as a part of their program (3 for semester students and 1 for summer students). Students can also participate in additional optional excursions.

These might include:

Capri
Amalfi Coast
Pompeii
Naples
Ischia
Paestum
Mount Vesuvius

Students also have the opportunity to engage themselves in community service activities (i.e. cleaning up the local marina area).

Please inquire about this opportunity before your arrival.
