Spring Hill Students

Think of it as “The Hill away from home”—a place where the values and spirit of Spring Hill College travel with you, meeting new experiences, friendships, and adventures in Italy. It’s where SHC traditions blend with Italian culture, where familiar community support sits alongside exciting discoveries, and where every day offers the chance to grow, connect, and explore in a safe and welcoming environment.

Al cuore.
At the heart of it.

If you are looking for a typical study abroad experience, this might not be the right fit for you. Instead, if you are looking for a program where you are supported by engaged faculty, committed staff, and surrounded by students who are looking to dive deeper and step outside of their comfort zone, then you've come to the right place!
