  • I had such a good time hanging out with Sam and his friends last night in the Hague. Hoping they teach him to start smiling for pictures... No school meetings today so I'm spending the day writing up all I learned from them as well as details about the school visits I have had the past few days.

  • Public universities in Italy calculate the tuition for international students on a sliding scale, based on family income. Tuition at public universities for the highest income brackets is still incredible affordable at just $800-8000! There are a total of 430 English taught bachelors and masters degree programs at universities (public and private) in Italy.
