"The big advantage of the Fairfield program is its course selection. I needed to make the semester worth my while academically, which meant I needed to study more than Italian language and culture. The Fairfield program offers courses in history, women's studies, politics, economics, so much more than a single focus. I was able to fulfill several of my graduation and concentration requirements."
