A series of quotes from recent SAI Alumni sharing their transformative study abroad experience.

Onsite SAI Staff Support

Brett Eppinger – USC – FUA

My experience with receiving support from the onsite staff was fantastic. They were incredibly helpful. They’re very quick to email me back whenever I had questions, and every time I went into the offices, even if it was just a sign up for a Viva experience or physically just kind of talk to them. Get to know more about the city. They were always incredibly helpful and really always wanted to talk to me about it.

Christian Capello. – College of William and Mary – JCU

My experience with support from the SAI staff was great.  They were really there for everything and they helped to make the SAI Viva experiences so much more fun and enjoyable because they had their own things to add as we were going around and it just made everything more interesting and more personal.

Katriel – Saint Mary’s College of California – JCU

My experience with the onsite SAI staff involved, they were very helpful. Like, if I had any questions about, like, how to get around in Rome or, like, if I have no idea what to do during that weekend, I would ask them on WhatsApp, like I do have any recommendations, any tips.

The SAI staff in Barcelona was of incredible help to me, especially when I was sick in Barcelona. I didn’t quite know what to do and navigating foreign healthcare can definitely be really intimidating and scary, especially, as a 20 year old girl. So I was able to contact the SAI staff and not only did they give me options, but they provided me so much more help than I thought they would.
