SAI Programs — Local services in Sebastopol

I cannot say enough good about SAI. My daughter is studying for a second semester in Europe through the program and has mentioned many times when the SAI staff have helped her navigate, as she adjusted to life abroad.

Recently, she ended up getting very sick. I was so comforted when she told me that she had reached out to the local SAI and the staff not only heard my daughter's concern but also helped her get checked by the doctor the same day.

One SAI staff member stayed with my daughter the entire time she was at the hospital and helped deal with a very rude doctor. I cannot thank SAI enough. They put my daughter (and me) at ease and helped in a difficult moment.

The due diligence, follow through, kindness, love and patience SAI showed my daughter warmed my heart, especially since I'm so far away and couldn't be there to help in person.

Thank you, SAI, so much for the care you give our children while they are abroad and learning and doing so much on their own. It's so reassuring to know that you are available if the students need help and that you are willing to go above and...

Studying abroad was one of the best decisions I've ever made and was made completely possible by SAI. The SAI staff were very helpful and easy to communicate with during my stay in Florence. They were always there to host their own activities to help immerse us in the culture and also have tons of fun! The apartment living was fantastic! Very spacious and clean when we arrived, and had amenities not even in my apartment back home. Beautiful view of the Palazzo Vecchio! Most importantly though, I made lifelong connections not just with my roommates, but with classmates and locals that you just can't get anywhere else. For this being my first time in Europe, it will be hard to beat, and I will always reminisce my time in Florence. I was also able to see so many iconic museums and art pieces that I will never forget! Overall, an experience I would recommend to anyone who is looking to grow their cultural competence and looking to find a program affiliated with their...

I cannot recommend SAI programs enough. I studied abroad in the spring semester of 2023 in Barcelona, Spain. I went to school at Elisava School of Design for interior design and lived in SAI provided housing in Sant Antoni. The attention the SAI staff gave each student, the exceptional day trips and incredible accommodation are only a few reasons why I loved SAI. The process of pre departure went smoothy, thanks to the pateint staff in the US. Once there, I was supported by onsite staff from the moment I touched down to the moment I left 4 months later. I cannot emphasize enough how supportive and friendly the Barcelona staff were, at SAI and Elisava. I would recommend SAI to anyone and everyone interested in studying in Spain,...
